After reading this review, I watched a VCD of the film that I have produced by Video Krishna Hyderabad. It is not too bad. There is some background noise, Krishna and some rectangle are displayed at the top sometimes blocking the actors. But in the first part I did not notice any jumps. I think that the film was released in at some stage and better versions may be available. Surprisingly it still very watchable. I watched a couple of other movies like Suvarna Sundari which had great songs but I found them hard to watch.
I live in Melbourne and if you are interested, you are welcome to borrow my VCD.
Nageswara Rao as Devadas, Savithri as Parvathi and Lalitha (the eldest of the Travancore sisters Lalitha,Padmini and Ragini) gave brilliant performances. The intricate cinematography of maestro B.S. Ranga enhanced the expressions displayed and also conveyed the mood of the characters well.More important than even the acting perhaps were the songs.They were immensely popular then and even now. The manner in which they were picturised added to the attraction.

Sahir and SDB made tremendous contributions ; adding to the lyrical excellence based on soulful tunes ; some bringing out the Rabindra Sangeet factor . The songs itself brings out the story , if one listen to 5 or 6 songs in chronological order .
So far the emphasis of the discussions revolved around the tragedy in the life of Devdas. Telugu film and its Tamil dubbing contained a few songs sung in a happy bent of mind. I will give a few links. The male singer is Ghantasala, a well known figure in the Telugu filmdom. Since he did not know tamil script, songs rendered in tamil were written in telugu language for him. His pronunciation of many words is queer indeed. That adds to the charm.
The place of songs in our films has been subject of several scholarly books. The simplest way to understand is that for good or bad, songs became a defining and integral part of our films right from the first talkies. Just as we have two eyes, two ears etc, our films had seven-eight songs.
Whether these songs were an essential part of the narrative or added to the artistic merit of the films is a very different question. Some did, some were a drag. In parallel, songs started acquiring an autonomous personality of their own decoupled from their films by virtue of their dissemination through radio and records. They became the most important form of popular culture and music, to be sung on any social occasion.
Coming back to Indian classics , I think mentioning Andaz , Awara and Shree 420 would be enough to highlight the importance of Songs and Music in films irrespective of the orchestra shown or not on the screen . I cannot imagine a scene where Hero is singing a song while carrying an harmonium with him . Mughal e Azam had a great support of fine songs . This three hours long movie was cut down to 90 minutes movie as an indian entry in one of the International film festivals in 60s . Most of the scissors cut were on songs . The cinema halls showing the movie had to spend a lot restoring the damages caused by the unruly crowd owing to this act of the festival authorities .
SoY was a forum meant for Hindi film songs from 30s through 60s. It had the good fortune of attracting some very erudite readers who have enriched and expanded it by their comments and guest articles. In general it is beyond the scope and competency of SoY to delve into regional cinema.
Thiru RSR, There is a mainly Tamil forum which has also discussions on Hindi film songs, particularly by one RajRaj. If you have not visited, you may enjoy it. It is chaotic and a lot of good stuff is somewhere obscure and may be one has to ask one of the moderators. Some excellent commenters like Aravindhan were driven out by the crowd. It may be worthwhile visiting.
Both Mahabharat and Ramyan use poetry or songs in their creations.
What happens with the Indian audience is that they want the story told without the songs breaking the curiosity raised by the story.
@122-> Swaroopji, Yes. If Sri.ANR himself thinks so, it is. Very difficult role indeed but done almost to perfection. Banumathi, of course, does equally well. Even Devika looks so nice and decent and does adequately.
@123-> AKji, there surely must be a good translation of Bari Didi in English and Hindi. Why not read that ( preferably in Hindi) and then see the telugu film? Are we not seeing French, Russian, Japanese classics without subtitles in English? Though we may miss the nuances in dialog, we can still appreciate the action.
It is only when I watched a superb print of this film on YouTube recently that I understood the brilliance of the film and why it must have been a super-hit at the time of its release. I was completely bowled over by the superb direction, the technical brilliance, the unique story-line, the splendid performances and above all the lovely songs. But to enjoy the film in its entirety one must be able to transport oneself back in time to pre-independent India of 1930s and then sit back and see the magic unfold.tag_hash_106 0852c4b9a8
