There are several Sanskrit compositions in movies, mostly Telugu and MalayaLam, that I liked. I sing a few of them.
I thought of posting those in Hindi songs thread. I was not sure how they would be received. That is why this new thread.

This composition has been used in another movie. I will post it later.
Raj, yes I too think this needs a separate thread. Good start, btw..
Good idea and a good starting song Raj! :) I know another version of this song from a 1980s movie, but will wait till you post your next pick.
From Gaanam(malayaLam) (1982)

Thanks RD and RR ! :)
I will cover a few composers before I repeat !
RD: I have a pretty good guess about the version you have in mind and the movie! :)
Good one Raj! This one has Balamuralikrishna, Yesudas and Susheela singing the Swaathi Thirunal krithi... GAANAM was a great movie with a radical social theme. The star cast included Lakshmi (Tamil), Ambareesh (Kannada), Poornima (Mallu/Tamil), and the movie was directed by engineer turned poet/musician/story writer/artist and movie maker Sreekumaran Thampi (Mallu). It had several of the traditional classical compositions as well as some pleasing raaga-based melodies composed by Dakshinamoorthy Swamy. I may be tempted to post "yaaramitaa..." here if you don't post it soon! :)
Yaramita Vanamalina from Gaanam

RD: Happy now? :)
One of my favorites.. just because of the rendition. BMK sir :notworthy: Note that he doesn't sound like a carnatic singer at all in this song. I think it all comes so naturally for him.
RD: I forgot about the movie plot completely (I think I watched only half the movie). Can you brief us on the background to this song..
RR and RD
