Jagadeka Veeruni Katha: Siva Sankari


The song "Siva Sankari" made classical music to go nearer to the common public. Those music lovers who thought classical music is for niche audience had their thoughts changed after the popularity of this song. The voice of Ghantasala and the acting of NTR in this classic movie, "Jagadeka Veeruni Katha" still bring warm feelings for all the Telugu people.

Jayabheri- Musically yours

Music forms an integral part of Indian cinema. The music has the capacity to move hearts and when composed by stalwarts of yore, the classical music created magic everywhere. See this song from Jayabheri in which Ghantasala (playback singer) sings immortally whereas ANR matches his act to perfection. The tune used in the song was said to be a experiment in classical music which merged two tunes. Kudos to a legendary talent of music director Pendyala Nageswara Rao. Cinematic magic at its best.
