I am starting a new post on the Legends of Telugu Cinema NT Rama Rao and A Nageswar Rao. I know the foot fall of this post will be few but still I want to complete my collection and sharing the albums available with me of these two legends. These two need no introduction as far as Telugu Cinema is concerned. They were fortunate enough to have reigned the Golden Period of Telugu Cinema accompanied my Ghantasala's music. Here is the brief biography of these two stars followed by their filmography.
Regards

(ANR) Palnati Yuddham (1947)
In 40's most of the Telugu films recruited those performers who knew how to sing as well. This was a requirement as playback did not catch on yet. In these old films, therefore, you see most of the old-timers not only could act but sing as well. Take for example this movie made in 1947, the year India gained independence from the British rule. In this both the heroine, S. Vara Lakshmi as well as the hero Nageshwara Rao (ANR) sang their songs. There is also Kannamba, a fine actress and singer as well. She acted in nearly 150 films, both in Telugu and Tamil. She had her own production company and produced nearly 25 films. She played Nagamma in this movie and sang several songs. ANR, though an established actor by this time, was still an eligible bachelor during the filming of this movie. He and S. Vara Lakshmi fell in love during its production. Their romance continued for some time. But ANR got cold feet as he faced pressure from his well-wishers and relatives not to go ahead with his proposed marriage to Vara Lakshmi. He backed off and later married a woman selected by his family members. I am uploading songs from this film in two back-to-back posts. I am still missing several songs and these are listed in the second post. Here is a word of caution. Because these songs are very old, their quality is uneven. It appears like some of these were recorded from 78 RPM records. The noises in some of the songs give this away. In spite of this, the overall audibility of the songs is passable. Here are the songs in the first post... Attached image(s) ![]() |
