'Geetha Madhuri' VCD Comes :Cinejwala:

The lost precious treasure is back before us. Thanks to prominent director TS Nagabharana, sitting Chairman of Karnataka Chalanachitra Academy who has produced and directed ‘Geetha Madhuri’. What TS Nagabharana has added might be less because ‘Sugama Sangeetha’ visuals were already shot and composed. They were telecast too in Bengaluru Doordarshan in the 90’s. The software was missing in New Delhi head office of Doordarshan. With the initiative of well known poets HS Venkateshamurthy and BR Lakshman Rao it was TS Nagabharana brought out with some facelift to it. After tracing the treasure we have worked for nine months to get it to a shape.

The VCD of this was released on Monday evening in the presence of BT Lalitha Nayak, BR Lakshman Rao, Lakshminarayana Bhatta, Shimoga Subbanna at KH Kala Soudha.

Mysore Ananthaswamy, Jayasri Aravind, Kalinga Rao and Padmacharan have done music. The poems of Dr KV Puttappa, Da Ra Bendre, Pu Thi Narasimhachar, KS Narasimhaswamy, Gopalakrishna Adiga, Dr GSS, Dr Channaveera Kanavi, KS Nissar Ahmed, NS Lakshminarayana Bhatta, Dr Chandrasekhara Kambara are utilized in the 60 songs.

Today the poems of greats are used as fillers in channels. This Geetha Madhurya is also tribute to those who have left us from Shruthalaya and Total Kannada. The opportunity of experience from the poem translated into visuals is lost today. It should not happen like that feels TSN.

Total Kannada that explores Kannada to the world is associated with this ‘Geetha Madhuri’ marketing.
