A very dear friend of mine loves this actress, Savitri, and I realized that I hadn’t posted many songs on her. So here’s one for this friend.
From the 1957 hit Telugu film Mayabazar ( = Market of Illusions) Sung by P. Susheela and Ghantasala. Music composed by Ghantasala and Lyrics penned by Pingali Nagendrarao. This movie in itself needs a special post as this movie is a classic (and I am yet to get to that review. :P).
Coming back to the song, in this song S. V. Rangarao, who plays Ghatotkacha, shapeshifts himself to look like Savitri, who plays Shasirekha. Since Shashirekha wanted to marry Abhimanyu (played by ANR) and not Duryodhana’s son Lakshmana Kumara (played by Relangi Venkata Ramaiah). So, Savitri had to act like a man who is large and powerful but changed to a woman for a little time. Amazing acting by Savitri showing both the masculine and feminine sides at once. Simply superb.
Lyrics in Romanized Telugu:
Aha Naapelli Anta..Oho Naapelli Anta; Aha Naapellanta Oho Na Pelliyanta
