detective naradha - last classic of ir-vamsi

this was the last time they both created magic. of course the magic is by raja and vamsi the spoilsport.

i think vamsi wanted to make a spoof of the erstwhile telugu movies. but in the process he himself overtook all of them and became a stamp of telugu movie atrocities.

my bro used to tell 'telugu padathula ore dance step daan irukum. onnu heroine idupula kaiya vappan. illa than idupulaye kaiya vachundu irupan. idha vitta vera movements-e theriadhu'.particularly krishna and anr.

the whacky legacy was carried forward till the millenium by vamsi.

that's why k.vishwanath was adored like anything in andhra. his movies were devoid of all the telugish goofiness.

of course in thamizh also so many directors have killed raja's music. but no single person can be credited with killing all the songs of raja like vamsi.

this song in 'detective naradha' is a classic remix of the song 'prema yatralaku' from gundamma katha.

Directed by Kamalakara Kameshwara Rao. With Suryakantham, Rama Rao Taraka Nandamuri, Nageshwara Rao Akkineni, the film was released in 1962.

in thamizh also the song is there as 'kadhal yaathiraiku brindavanamum, theertha yathiraiku rameswaramum'

spb and chitra are splendid as always and take us on a nostalgic trip. spb reminds ghantasala in his voice.

raja weaves his own melody into this song and u wont notice a bit of alienism.
those who have not heard the original will definitely think it is a normal continuous song. and those who have heard the original will wonder the genius of raja for his class act. his usage of old age instruments are simply superb.

what a long prelude and 1st interlude!!! wow

'yavvanala poovulanni navvu thunna thottalo prema yatra cheddama.....'

the last and the least, forgive vamsi. scapegoats are mohanbabu and mohini.
