The World of Salil Chowdhury

One 45 rpm SP was released with the above songs which I have been searching for years. Sridhar Rajanna who is part of kannadaaudio.com site/forum and the radio, and manages most of the programs has the following comments about the song "sanje tangaali" - " Sanje tangaaLi maisOkalu" - from Kokila. A highly emotional solo number rendered in her classic style by S Janaki. Very little use of instruments and the emotion of the character is superbly conveyed in the music and the singing. Hats off to S-C and S-J. It is hard to find these rare gems, A-I-R plays this occasionally, you might be able to catch it, if you are lucky. This is the first movie of the famous director "Balu Mahendra". Had Kamal Hassan, Shobha (the tragedy queen of late 70s-early 80s) and Roja Ramani in the lead roles. One of the few Kamal movies in Kannada. "Mohan" who played Kamal's friend's role was later known in most movies as "Kokila"Mohan. This movie was re-made in Hindi in the 90s by Balu M, and had Ramesh Aravind, Revati, Heera in lead roles "
