There were people who made films for passion/enthusiasm during 70s and 80s.
One such film was ‘maMgaLa sUtra’ (means ‘Holy Thread’ which indicates marital status of a girl), a b/w film released during 1975.
Story, Screenplay, Dialogue, Direction, Hero and Producer – All by Shri Rajesh kumar.
The film was about remarriage of a widow, but never happens in the movie. Though artists were new, except Shri MV Vasudeva Rao and Sundara Krishna Urs, legends like R Rathna (Music Director), P B Srinivas and P Susheela as playback singers, have contributed their good efforts to the film.
Film has only two songs, one solo by PBS and one duet song sung by PBS and PS. Film was an un-successful movie.

mahanIyara snEhake sulabhada rUTu
hE bhakta jana.. hechchiralu Eride rETu
AdarU bArugaLu Opan DE aMD naiTu /guMDina/

Meaning of the song:

guMDina mattu - intoxication/kick from hot drinks
Ostentation (gammattu) of a kick (matte) from hot drinks (guMDina) is defferent
Gives trouble (Apattu) if you cross (mIridare) the limit (aLate)
Only drunkard (kuDukanigE) has (irOdu) honesty/loyalty (niyattu)
This is the importance of this bottle with hot drinks (idE bATli mahattu)

Too much desire (mattu) towards - is common to all eight lines

women (heNNina) leads (mUla) to fraud (drOhake)
treasure (honnina) leads (mUla) to fear (bhItige)
land (maNNina) leads (mUla) to enimity (vairake)
status/position (padaviya) leads (mUla) to one's life (prANake)

education (vidyeya) leads (mUla) to arrogance (garvake)
beauty (rUpina) leads (mUla) to bad manners/conduct (shIlake)
valour (shouryada) leads (mUla) to revenge (sEDige)
fame/glory (kIrtiya) leads (mUla) to downfall (patanake)

Though it has pungent smell to mouth (bAyige ghATAdaru),
but very sweet to the brain (brainige svITu)
Easiest (sulabhada) way (rUTu) to gain the friendship (snEhake) of honourble persons (mahanIyara)
Rates are hiked (Eride rETu) because of increase (hechchiralu) in liking people (bhakta jana)
Even then (AdarU) BARs (bArugaLu) are kept open (Opan) day and night (DE aMD naiTu)
