Very pertinent to this train of thought is the infusion of regional folk in Hindi cinema. A stellar example of this is the Tamil film Bharatha Vilas (1973), and this song on national integration has diverse performances in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi. When the film narrative transcends cultures and regions, often so does the accompanying soundtrack. Here is another instance of Bhanumathi acing the famous Doris Day song ‘Que Sera Sera’ in the Telugu movie Thodu Needa (1955). A testimony to the clout and prowess of Bhanumathi, who juggles five languages (Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi) within a single song ‘Laddu’:Īn equally amusing song from Avar Enakke Sondham (1977) composed by Ilaiyaraaja employs an ingenious mix of ‘Kabhi Kabhi’ to a comical effect. Two leading artists at the time, one from Tamil and the other from Kannada, played the lead, alongside one of the most versatile actors in Indian cinema, Bhanumathi thereby rendering a momentous crossover in the Indian film scene. A wonderful article that appeared in the Hindu last year on this film carries very pleasing anecdotes: The film draws inspiration from the famous Hollywood movie The Corsican Brothers (1941) as well as from the eponymous Alexandre Dumas novel. However, a song epitomising the very notion of transcending linguistic barrier dates back to 1949 from the Tamil movie Apoorva Sagotharargal. Compositions using traditional lyrics (such as Thyagaraja Krithis) fall squarely in this domain – like ‘Mari Mari Ninne’ from Sindhu Bairavi (1985) or most recently ‘Swagatham Krishna’ from Agnyaathavaasi (2017) and ‘Saajan More’ from Solo (2017). Was it a natural inclusion in the film narrative, a fascination, or a whim? The context and the question also inexorably evokes the western composition ‘Sing Swing’ by Ilaiyaraaja for the Tamil film Moodu Pani (1980).Ĭross-cultural and cross-linguistic compositions have always been a part of Indian film music. It is a wacky track, highly experimental nonetheless.

If you haven’t already, listen to (and watch), Life is Shabby from Padamati Sandhya Ragam. The incredulous song was from a Telugu movie, 1987, wholly in English and set to western instruments and style, sung and composed by SP Balasubrahmanyam and it features the famous drummer Sivamani (who plays the lead in the movie!), and in this movie debuted the American actor Thomas Jane ( The Expanse). A few days ago, an unlikely song resurfaced and quickly gained a lot of listeners.
