Please watch saagara sangamam next starring Kamal hassan and directed by the same genius vishwanath... U have reacted to a song from that film already...U will absolutely love it...🤞
This movie was dubbed in malayalam and was a superhit in kerala back at that time.but the songs were in the original language,but was still loved by all malayalees till date ,which clearly shows MUSIC HAS NO BARRIER ❤
That’s why I like the hindi remake better- Sur Sangam, in terms of music. The male singer was classically trained and the compositions were more melodious. BUT the dancing/choreography was way better in the Telugu version.
Welcome to k.viswanath's universe of movies. One of the greatest directors of all time. Atleast half a doze of his movies are classics. 2 movies you have to watch from him are both kamal haasan starrers , saagara sangamam and swathi mutyam. Then you can follow it up by siri vennela, saptapadi, sruthi layalu, swarna kamalam, swathi kiranam, swayam krushi. All classics. Interestingly almost all of his movies except a couple start with the letter S.
Oudside of South.. the Master , visionary director K.Viswanath is super underrated. He made some of the best movies in the world during the 80's & 90's all Masterpieces, classics, original and path breaking
Wow...What a morning...I am just happy that u guy's watched this film..This film is very close to our hearts...every age group loved the film..it was a critical and a commercial blockbuster as well which is rare for a film like this...Thankyou 🙏
This movie was edited by my granddad, along with movies like Sagara sangamam, sirivennela, aapathbandhavudu, criminal, swarna kamalam, bobbili puli .. etc. It feels great that someone recommended you this movie.

I know u will talk about that guitar guy 😂 , and Telugu fims are little dramatic but there are some great films and next is sagar sangam and saptapadhi loved ur review guys 👍
Rick gets it! At 14:20 he says, "I love that they had to be like this" Perfect! In this culture, two people don't need to be in physical proximity with each other to be really connected with each other. They don't even need to touch each other unlike in the West where physical touch plays a crucial role in a relationship. This theme was explored in Aamis as well. Korbin may not get it but is always fun to watch tho :p
Finally! I have been requesting you guys to watch this movie for so long now! Thank you for watching and reviewing it, it's one of my all time favorites. ❤️ Rick, you got the ending right 😊 If you also notice the subtleties throughout the movie, when Tulasi is in Shankarashastri's house, you can see the Tulasi plant in the frame in full bloom & lush green, and later when she goes away, the same plant is all withered and dry. It's the director's brilliance with such small things added which makes the movie brilliant and an all time classic. The scene where she puts the blood on his feet, is a mark of full surrender, of herself and her fate and he accepts her acknowledging what has happened. There are so many such wonderful moments like this throughout the movie, I can talk about it frame by frame but so happy you guys did this review! Thank you 😊
Three other classical music/dance movies from K.Viswanath that are a must watch: 1. Saagara Sangamam (Just for Kamal Haasan) 2. Swarnakamalam (light hearted and extremely realistic. His best in my opinion) 3. Swatikiranam (starring malayalam legend Mammooty. highly under-rated gem). The classical music and dance in all three movies is just out of this world.
Wow...shocked and surprised to see that you have reacted to one of the classics of telugu movies....K.Viswanath is one of the finest directors we have...Each of his creation is a masterpiece
This is a cult classic and is regarded as one of the best ever. There is no star cast in the movie and no super rich budget still this became an all time block buster in the history of Telugu industry. All thanks to music and story writing of this movie!
One thing that most people miss about this movie is the title.. Sankara Sastri always used to carry a Silver Anklet throughout the film which was gifted to him by the people, in appreciation to his knowledge in Music. At the end, when his little disciple took on to the song preventing it from collapsing in the middle of the performance as it's a song of worship, made the guru think that he is worthy of his succession. Hence he made the kid wield the Anklet,.. which is Shankara's Abharanam.. Shankarabharanam✨
"Sankarabharanam" literally means the Ornament of Sankara(Lord Shiva). But it is also the generic name of a Major Scale, Raagam DheeraSankarabharanam, which is the 29th out of the 72 Melakarta Raagas (complete scales, something like 72 major scales ) in Carnatic Music system. Sankarabharanam is same as the Western Major Scale. See Melakarta Raaga Chronological List: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melakarta
Didn't expect you guys to actually be able to appreciate these movies. K.Vishwanath as a director will be spoken of in the top-5 directors in Indian Cinema, and is the recipient of the prestigious Dada Saheb Phalke award. But what makes K.Viswanath unique is his deep knowledge of classical music, and his ability to bring together Illayaraja (for classical compositions), SPB (for singing) and kamal Haasan (for acting and classical dancing). He has created a repertoire of about 8-10 movies involving the legends of South Indian cinema all revolving around the lives of classical musicians. Of all the legendary directors in Indian cinema, K.Viswanath filmography will remain the one which will never be replicated by anyone else due to this extremely rare confluence of legends. These are the themes that regional cinema explores, and why Bollywood gets such little respect for not exploring. Consider, that in the last 50yrs in Bollywood there is almost no single movie that has been made on classical music/musicians either in the mainstream or as an Indie movie.
Daaaaaang! Whoever helped you pick this !!! .. Luuuuuurve this movie ❤️.. Being a Telugite I am soo proud of this one ! And guys, you doing classics is jusssst ❣️❣️ 😘😘😘
You guys lost the plot when you mentioned the prostitute as his love interest or whatever. This means you didn’t get the whole gist of the movie.. they were just connected by their love of the arts - music and dance. Rick seems to be sensitive to it. Not surprised the whole thing is lost on Korbin 😀 In today’s age it is difficult to imagine artist who only breathe and live their art . Nothing else
That is exactly what I was about to write...well said...this sort of relation is always celebrated with stories of Meera and Krishna...I guess it is difficult to comprehend through western lenses..
@@saiarpita -exactly . Relationship that are not based on any material benefits are difficult for them to comprehend . Tulasi is dancer was devoted to her dance art which was stimulated by his music . That is the true basis of their relationship. But to be fair Rick still has the ability to understand as he himself is an artist .
@@sks4173 This guys should go back roearly '80s of India especially ఆంధ్రప్రదేశ్ and understand India is different...they don't have any idea of India in 1980. Actually, first few weeks no one watched this movie in theatres and it was telecast in Doordarshan and through word of mouth, everyone right from super rich to poor loved and It was housefull for many many weeks ...it's a landmark movie,. Even today, Telugu movies are taught before and after"sankarabharanam"... Regards, Ravindra Kumar hg
Agree with my whole heart. A love relationship ( for lack of a better word) need not be about the physical. The relationship between the two protagonists is of Guru-shishya or God and his devotee. You can have an intense spiritual connection with your God though you know She/He is unattainable. Your whole life can be a struggle to find, feel and touch God. You may not achieve it but it doesn't make your journey less beautiful or useless.
So a word on the ending, Shankara Sastry was essentially the embodiment of music. There is also a reference to this, when he is sleeping and the boy leans over him and hears the sound of the Tambura/Tanpura emanating from his body. So the moment Shankara Sastry lost his voice, due to the heart-attack, he didn't just lose his voice physically but essentially he lost the purpose of his existence, as his entire existence was defined by his ability to sing. Shankara Sastry cannot exist if his own ability to sing does not exist. Tulsi on the other hand continued to live, only to see that her son had a future under the guidance of Shankara Sastry and his family. There's a scene which depicts that she would've ended her life as well, if she didn't realize that she was pregnant, after she leaves Shankara Sastry's house. Tulsi makes the future of her son the sole purpose of her existence. She exists as long as long as her son is still in need of guardianship and as long as his future is still uncertain. Neither Sastry nor Tulsi can exist without their purpose. The moment their purpose is served, to sing in Shankara Sastry's case and to ensure that her son has a future and is accepted by Shankara Sastry, in Tulsi's case, they no longer live as their purpose in this world is served. Also from a logical perspective Shankara Sastry dies of a heart-attack and Tulsi, who suddenly witnesses the death of the one person who saved her life when the world turned its back to her and gave her son a future, dies of the shock. I feel the ending is a masterpiece.
Hey Korbin, I get why you didn't like the ending. There are subtle things that you have missed there. 1. The entire scene was poetic (not to be interpreted literally) 2. Remember the scene where Tulasi almost rejects to accept the assets inherited from her dead mother? This is quite deep. In Indian philosophy, there is a concept of Moksha, which is a state every soul aspires to reach. And, that can only be reached when one's soul rejects all wealth-ly/materialistic possessions. The only thing Tulasi ever wanted from that point was to see her Guru Sankara Shastri happy. This meant that the death of the Guru after his happy moments is the death of Tulasi. P.S. death doesn't necessarily mean something bad according to Indian philosophy
Firstly, I respect you for even considering this GREAT celluloid poetry to watch, let alone comment. I appreciate and got impressed with the observations of the leftside guy, but won't give too much importance to negative comments because I have lived in the US for so long, I know where you come from, huge cultural differences, but I respect your attitude and interest :) In fact, not all Indians understand this movie in several levels. Too complicated if analyzed in detail. Just a quickie: Please don't address her as a pr*stitute. If you've observed, she was daughter of a pr*stitute but not a pr*stitute. BTW, the friend you pointed out (wife keeps calling) played role of a lawyer (attorney) is grandfather of Allu Arjun, whose videos you saw.
Wow, Sankarabharanam!! :)) . A movie that is not everyone's list. Hats off to Rick and Korbin for reviewing it. This is one movie I'd watch every time with my grandfather(When he was alive) and my mom. Thank you for suggesting this movie.
Der r many video channels reacting to indian videos but d way u guys do makes ur work stand apart from others ..it's a DELIGHT TO WATCH UR REVIEWS n now I m addicted to ur work guys ..LOTS OF LOVE❤️❤️🙏🙏
OHM guys, glad you watched the master piece...Itd not jus a telugu classic it ran over a year in few theatres in Chennai and bangalore from other states. Do you know ? Forbes added J. V. Somayajulu's performance in the film on its list of "25 Greatest Acting Performances of Indian Cinema. IBN Live included Sankarabharanam on its list of "100 greatest Indian films of all time " . It got 4 national film awards, which is first for any south film. Director viswanath garu is a true legend of indian cinema....probably hez one of very few directors in india who had many classics in their filmography _/\_
Very kool observations as usual. Congrats on 1 million viewers. I just missed it!!! However, would like if you please pick Saagara Sangamam, a 1983 movie for next Telugu classical starring Kamal Hassan and Jaya Pradha and directed by K. Vishwanath garu. Male vocals are by is S.P. Bala Subramanyam garu. And Female vocals by S.Jaanaki garu. Its a dance and music marvel. A young multi-talented dancer is poverty stricken and a principled person who does not want to compromise on his moral ethics for commercial dancing. A wealthy woman recognizes this talent and provides him with an opportunity to showcase his art.
Just happened to see your review and can't believe it.. your review was extensive covering all the aspects of the movie. It was a sensational movie not in South but in North as well. I believe whenever people see JV Somayajulu garu, people used to touch his feet out of respect. I read his interview that those days he used to smoke and he was scolded by people for it and he had to quit the habit. People took the character so personally.. Coming back to your review, your argument on the climax was very nice. Such incidents weren't uncommon if you see the history and is the right ending for the movie. You felt that the friend of Sankara sastry was loud but he brought so much of strength to the movie. Especially, when Sankara sastry ask the boy who came to see his girl to get out, his friend's takes Sankara sastry to task - ofcourse one needs to understand the language to know his frustration.. Great review by you folks.. Not sure whether you reviewed "Sagara sangamam" by K Viswanath but I'm sure you will sure fight for the climax scene..:).
Yayyyyy!!! That was an amazing review. You should explore this director who is a noneganarian now. He is one of the greatest directors produced by Indian cinema. PS: the friend of the man you were referring to happens to be the grandfather of actor ALLU ARJUN
K. Viswanath garu the director of this movie passed away recently. It is a loss to telugu movie industry. I was always in awe about how one human being can create so many masterpieces.RIPsir.
this is once in a lifetime movie, connecting culture, tradition, the essence and subtlety of Indian music. To it add brilliant direction, portrayal of unsaid emotions. I am glad you guys enjoyed it. This is almost my only ever comment on your reviews after watching you guys for over a year :)
Korbin - it is understandable that you didn’t really like the ending. This is because of both cultural and generation gap. There is a lot there to apprehend. 1. The bond between them is more devotional than just a normal admiration. 2. This is because in India, teacher is equated to God. Especially so in the fields of music and dance. The lady’s love for him was not the ordinary kind. 3. The son in law does get medical help when Shastriji is sick and unable to sing but Shastri refuses it. He doesn’t want any disturbance when the kid is singing. The ultimate achievement for such an artist is that the art form doesn’t die with him. Appreciate hugely the fact that you understood that the legacy was passed on. 4. Just one point which maybe you couldn’t comprehend completely - Shastry is a pious Brahmin from an orthodox society. So, the lady staying with him etc., was a big scandal as she was a Devadasi. He respected her ( even though she was from that background) and her devotion (admiration ) towards him while he may or may not have reciprocated it.
Hi guys Very glad to see this review, Here are few more telugu classics list Please react SAGARA SANGAMAM( KAMAL HASAN) RUDRA VEENA ( CHIRANGEEVI) SWARNA KAMALAM ( VENKATESH) GEETHANJALI ( NAGARJUNA) MOUNA RAGAM BEAUTIFUL MUSIC AND GREAT MOVIES
Hi Rick and korbin, in telugu there is a movie called "swathi muthyam" came out in 1985. Tamil famous actor Kamal hassan is the lead. This movie inspired Hollywood movie "Forest gump". you should watch this movie. It is very entertaining movie...
Sankarabarnam Climax Rick : I love it Korbin : I hate it 😂 Even though you both hate it, we respect ur views. Because it has so much of cultural references. It will remains as timeless classic to show our culture to next generations.
Great Job I didnt believe this movie would be reacted by you guys I feel now you are actually going to the skin of indian cinema.You guys are getting better
The context of the movie is sankara sastry is from brahmin caste which is the upper echelons of society with chaste followers. Whereas the girl was a prostitute and hence from the lowest echelons of society which makes her an untouchable for the brahmin community. The contrast is to show that humanity is most important and also arrform doesn't belong to any one sect of society.
I would love to have watched your reactions to this movie. Need to watch it one more time but need some company. Now that we are on same page, I would definitely have great time watching with you guys.
great stuff u guys!!!! really impressed.... Just one little correction. There is no love interest between the two leads. They only have a teacher-student relation and the lady sees him as her ultimate guru in her life. he gave her a reason to live. Rick, I absolutely loved how you connected with the whole movie especially the ending. I was damn sure that you would react to it just like this..
I usually watch some of your reviews. The son in law was played by my father who was a signature lead man in the 1970 and 80's. So here is a recommendation if you want to watch his solo performance was " padha harayla vayasu". He was the one who competed with Kamal hassan who did the tamil version of him. Unlike other stars in Indian cinema,my father is respected his art form as artist, and never his star Dom. He is a legend and my personal hero. His name is Chandra Mohan. He did a lot of characters and over the decades he changed his roles. My recommendations is to watch 'radha kalyanum" , " subhodhyum" and " Sita mahalakshmi" all movies were directed my the same film maker who did the movie you reviewed. He passed away recently earlier this week. I usually never come on social media but I wanted you guys to know about a legend that pretty much stays away from lime light but a stalwart. I am glad you enjoy the old classics. He is the only one who no one could imitate and still remains " untouched".
It was remade/released in Hindi in 1985 Titled Sur Sangam. The heroine in the Hindi version is the heroine of Sagara Sangamam by the same Director. He won DADA SAHEB PHALKE AWARD,THE HIGHEST RECOGNITION FOR FILMS IN INDIA BY THE GOVT. OF INDIA.
Fun fact, the actor who played the lawyer (and the friend Corbin was annoyed with) in this movie (Allu Ramalingaiah) is Allu Arjun's grandfather and has acted in over 900+ movies
Ending is totally great! I don't know about America but in India there's so much instance where couple died together ❤️ There was this traigic incident where I was traveling to Saputara hills and there is a beautiful waterfall! And there was this old couple, enjoying their moment and suddenly auntie's foot slipped and she drowned! And that same moment uncle had heart attack and passed away! Might seem over the top but that's true love❤️! And it exists ❤️
Wow just wow one of the epic classic movies of Indian cinema. SPB was not a trained classical singer but he did an excellent job. The female lead Manju Bhargavi so beautiful such expressive eyes. The male lead somyajulu what a fantastic actor. The music legendary. The scene where he schools the youngsters about the western music or the scene where he schools the modern music master for not teaching music properly oh my such epic scenes 👍👍
"Music is divine whether it is western or Indian" Legendary SPB learned carnatic music basics for this film and delivered unbelievable songs through his voice... Won national award fir best singer... Thanks for the review... Hope the great K. Vishwanath director of this film sees your reaction...
Oh my God! Sankarabharanam is one of the movies that moves me every time I watch it. The boy is not he but She. Her name is Tulasi. Please watch Swarnakamalam, one more masterpiece created by Director Viswanath. I have been watching your videos for over an year but just started reacting to them. Every feedback is so detailed and insightful. And, you guys are so funny!! Love your reactions!
I watched Sankarabharanam when I was a kid.. Thanks for watching and commenting on it. Please watch Kshna kshanam starring Sridevi and Venkatesh directed by Ram gopal Verma..path breaking film.
Director K. Vishwanath is one of the National award winning directors plus one of the best directors of South Indian film industry . The Kamal Haasan classical dance music that you reacted was also his directed movie name Sagara sangamam .
Nice u guys appreciating telugu classic ,iam a 90s guy and I saw the movie 5 years back and it blew my mind ,the relation of prostitute and him who will expect that ,and pure love for music its crazy.
The movie was a way ahead not just for Indian classical music but touching social taboo subjects (back then) and till today in major parts of the society so subtly and blended well with music.
That's the ardent love for music portrayed by the protagonists who are bonded only with the thread of music and their devotion for it. That's exactly depicted in the climax scene. It's not love actually but adoration of master-disciple sort. Since the movie is all about Indian carnatic (South Indian) music, about a well know musician. You do get songs every now and then. And these songs are original classical renditions and not just movie songs. They have been adapted to the context of the scenes. This movie was a rage and re kindled every persons love for music and infact did the real job of what it professes.
You know one thing of shankarabharanam....when that time the audience leave their footwear's at out side of theatres before watching shankarabharanam....
What..? What...? How it happened.? I am so happy 😍 Viswanadh garu is a legendary director. All his films are absolutely fantastic and with classical music backdrop.
I think it would be interesting for you guys to watch Padamata Sandhya Ragam. Since there is an American character in it and the movie was filmed in the US which was very new for that time.
YAY! They did it!! I am so happy they watched this movie. It would have been nice if they had mentioned SPB at least once, he is what made the songs come to life so beautifully. Anyway, happy that they saw this gem of a movie!
Your review is to good. However i looked fwd to listening about the singer SP Balasubramaniam (lovingly called SP Balu). Nevertheless your pick for this classic made my day. I am gonna listen to the beautiful music from this movie all through this week.
If you like to see the remake movie with North Indian music- same director-, watch “Sur Sangam”. I personally preferred the music in this one. For North Indian classical music please watch the B&w classic “Basant Bahar”. For North Indian Classic dance please watch Kathak classic “Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baaje”, this has some of the most beautiful dance/music captured on film - east or west!!
Please watch and review the Telugu films Sagara sangamam, Swarna kamalam. These films are based on indian classical dance with an excellent and melodious music. These movies are not just on classical music, but the way the scripts written to show the greatness of classical dance and music with family relationships and the love. And of course a little bit of drama in it. I am sure and trust me, you really love and enjoy these movies.
Guyz you just watched a classic Musical drama ! Great movie , acting , direction , Music , singing everything outstanding!! We watched it without subtitles , in Pune when I was a kid

@@gopinathbalakrishnan7390 k Viswanath is a legendary too not only your so called Balachander
Swayamkrushi is the better recommendation I guess
Rick gets it! At 14:20 he says, "I love that they had to be like this" Perfect! In this culture, two people don't need to be in physical proximity with each other to be really connected with each other. They don't even need to touch each other unlike in the West where physical touch plays a crucial role in a relationship. This theme was explored in Aamis as well. Korbin may not get it but is always fun to watch tho :p
White Phoenix truly
the actor over the top you mentioned is the grand father of Allu Arjun
Finally! I have been requesting you guys to watch this movie for so long now! Thank you for watching and reviewing it, it's one of my all time favorites. ❤️ Rick, you got the ending right 😊 If you also notice the subtleties throughout the movie, when Tulasi is in Shankarashastri's house, you can see the Tulasi plant in the frame in full bloom & lush green, and later when she goes away, the same plant is all withered and dry. It's the director's brilliance with such small things added which makes the movie brilliant and an all time classic. The scene where she puts the blood on his feet, is a mark of full surrender, of herself and her fate and he accepts her acknowledging what has happened. There are so many such wonderful moments like this throughout the movie, I can talk about it frame by frame but so happy you guys did this review! Thank you 😊
Three other classical music/dance movies from K.Viswanath that are a must watch:
1. Saagara Sangamam (Just for Kamal Haasan)
2. Swarnakamalam (light hearted and extremely realistic. His best in my opinion)
3. Swatikiranam (starring malayalam legend Mammooty. highly under-rated gem).
The classical music and dance in all three movies is just out of this world.
FINALLY....I AM SO HAPPY....SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CLASSIC....THANK YOU.
Few other Telugu classics that are a must watch are:
Swayamkrushi
Rudraveena
Sagarasangamam
And Swarnakamalam
Awesome recommendations Navya 👍🏽
Wonderful suggestions...Swarnakamalam ,Subha Sankalpam and SwatiKiranam also goes to the list
Swathikiranam
And apathbandavudu
Wow...shocked and surprised to see that you have reacted to one of the classics of telugu movies....K.Viswanath is one of the finest directors we have...Each of his creation is a masterpiece
This is a cult classic and is regarded as one of the best ever. There is no star cast in the movie and no super rich budget still this became an all time block buster in the history of Telugu industry. All thanks to music and story writing of this movie!
One thing that most people miss about this movie is the title..
Sankara Sastri always used to carry a Silver Anklet throughout the film which was gifted to him by the people, in appreciation to his knowledge in Music.
At the end, when his little disciple took on to the song preventing it from collapsing in the middle of the performance as it's a song of worship, made the guru think that he is worthy of his succession. Hence he made the kid wield the Anklet,.. which is Shankara's Abharanam.. Shankarabharanam✨
very nicely put sir!! Sankarabharanam is a famous raga in carnatic music. The title suggesting that it is the “aabharanam” of sankara is ingenious.
Every song is a gem in this classic south indian film. Perfectly cast. Rick's understanding of the ending is at a higher level than Korbin's.
"Sankarabharanam" literally means the Ornament of Sankara(Lord Shiva).
But it is also the generic name of a Major Scale, Raagam DheeraSankarabharanam, which is the 29th out of the 72 Melakarta Raagas (complete scales, something like 72 major scales ) in Carnatic Music system. Sankarabharanam is same as the Western Major Scale.
See Melakarta Raaga Chronological List: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melakarta
Watch 'Thaniyavarthanam' in Malayalam classic movie... I don't know if qualifies... But it is a must watch...😁
Didn't expect you guys to actually be able to appreciate these movies. K.Vishwanath as a director will be spoken of in the top-5 directors in Indian Cinema, and is the recipient of the prestigious Dada Saheb Phalke award. But what makes K.Viswanath unique is his deep knowledge of classical music, and his ability to bring together Illayaraja (for classical compositions), SPB (for singing) and kamal Haasan (for acting and classical dancing). He has created a repertoire of about 8-10 movies involving the legends of South Indian cinema all revolving around the lives of classical musicians. Of all the legendary directors in Indian cinema, K.Viswanath filmography will remain the one which will never be replicated by anyone else due to this extremely rare confluence of legends.
These are the themes that regional cinema explores, and why Bollywood gets such little respect for not exploring. Consider, that in the last 50yrs in Bollywood there is almost no single movie that has been made on classical music/musicians either in the mainstream or as an Indie movie.
Daaaaaang! Whoever helped you pick this !!! .. Luuuuuurve this movie ❤️.. Being a Telugite I am soo proud of this one ! And guys, you doing classics is jusssst ❣️❣️ 😘😘😘
A fun fact: The little boy is actually a girl, Tulasi.She is a character artist now.
Is that a fun fact
You guys lost the plot when you mentioned the prostitute as his love interest or whatever. This means you didn’t get the whole gist of the movie.. they were just connected by their love of the arts - music and dance. Rick seems to be sensitive to it. Not surprised the whole thing is lost on Korbin 😀
In today’s age it is difficult to imagine artist who only breathe and live their art . Nothing else
That is exactly what I was about to write...well said...this sort of relation is always celebrated with stories of Meera and Krishna...I guess it is difficult to comprehend through western lenses..
@@saiarpita -exactly . Relationship that are not based on any material benefits are difficult for them to comprehend . Tulasi is dancer was devoted to her dance art which was stimulated by his music . That is the true basis of their relationship. But to be fair Rick still has the ability to understand as he himself is an artist .
For both these guys everything is only about sex.

This guys should go back roearly '80s of India especially ఆంధ్రప్రదేశ్ and understand India is different...they don't have any idea of India in 1980.
Actually, first few weeks no one watched this movie in theatres and it was telecast in Doordarshan and through word of mouth, everyone right from super rich to poor loved and It was housefull for many many weeks ...it's a landmark movie,. Even today, Telugu movies are taught before and after"sankarabharanam"...

Agree with my whole heart. A love relationship ( for lack of a better word) need not be about the physical. The relationship between the two protagonists is of Guru-shishya or God and his devotee. You can have an intense spiritual connection with your God though you know She/He is unattainable. Your whole life can be a struggle to find, feel and touch God. You may not achieve it but it doesn't make your journey less beautiful or useless.
RUDRAVEENA ONE OF THE BEST CLASSIC MOVIE. ACTED BY MEGASTAR CHIRANJEEVI (SYREERA MVI ACTOR). MUST WATCH HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.!!!
Very happy to see that you watched this movie. It's very good movie. people from telugu language won't forget this movie.
It's a treasure not only for Telugu cinema..it's a great INDIAN film.. I love the film..
This is truly a CLASSIC...introduced a whole nation to classical music and popularized it...every song was soooo beautiful..Great Choice
NOW PLEASE WATCH SAGARA SANGAMAM WITH JAMAL AND JAYAPRADA ! My fav Telugu classic
So a word on the ending, Shankara Sastry was essentially the embodiment of music. There is also a reference to this, when he is sleeping and the boy leans over him and hears the sound of the Tambura/Tanpura emanating from his body. So the moment Shankara Sastry lost his voice, due to the heart-attack, he didn't just lose his voice physically but essentially he lost the purpose of his existence, as his entire existence was defined by his ability to sing. Shankara Sastry cannot exist if his own ability to sing does not exist. Tulsi on the other hand continued to live, only to see that her son had a future under the guidance of Shankara Sastry and his family. There's a scene which depicts that she would've ended her life as well, if she didn't realize that she was pregnant, after she leaves Shankara Sastry's house. Tulsi makes the future of her son the sole purpose of her existence. She exists as long as long as her son is still in need of guardianship and as long as his future is still uncertain. Neither Sastry nor Tulsi can exist without their purpose. The moment their purpose is served, to sing in Shankara Sastry's case and to ensure that her son has a future and is accepted by Shankara Sastry, in Tulsi's case, they no longer live as their purpose in this world is served. Also from a logical perspective Shankara Sastry dies of a heart-attack and Tulsi, who suddenly witnesses the death of the one person who saved her life when the world turned its back to her and gave her son a future, dies of the shock. I feel the ending is a masterpiece.
Hey Korbin, I get why you didn't like the ending. There are subtle things that you have missed there.
1. The entire scene was poetic (not to be interpreted literally)
2. Remember the scene where Tulasi almost rejects to accept the assets inherited from her dead mother? This is quite deep. In Indian philosophy, there is a concept of Moksha, which is a state every soul aspires to reach. And, that can only be reached when one's soul rejects all wealth-ly/materialistic possessions.
The only thing Tulasi ever wanted from that point was to see her Guru Sankara Shastri happy. This meant that the death of the Guru after his happy moments is the death of Tulasi.
P.S. death doesn't necessarily mean something bad according to Indian philosophy
Firstly, I respect you for even considering this GREAT celluloid poetry to watch, let alone comment. I appreciate and got impressed with the observations of the leftside guy, but won't give too much importance to negative comments because I have lived in the US for so long, I know where you come from, huge cultural differences, but I respect your attitude and interest :) In fact, not all Indians understand this movie in several levels. Too complicated if analyzed in detail.
Just a quickie: Please don't address her as a pr*stitute. If you've observed, she was daughter of a pr*stitute but not a pr*stitute.
BTW, the friend you pointed out (wife keeps calling) played role of a lawyer (attorney) is grandfather of Allu Arjun, whose videos you saw.
Review Mayabazar Telugu classic
Fun Fact: The actress is my boyfriend's mother, this was her debut film 🤗
Wow.
Thats really awesome ❤️❤️
Really?
Sure
What?! She is _my_ boyfriend’s mother! What the hell is going on here?!!
Wow, Sankarabharanam!! :)) . A movie that is not everyone's list. Hats off to Rick and Korbin for reviewing it. This is one movie I'd watch every time with my grandfather(When he was alive) and my mom. Thank you for suggesting this movie.
Thank you Rick and Korbin. This is the best tribute to SPB.
Der r many video channels reacting to indian videos but d way u guys do makes ur work stand apart from others ..it's a DELIGHT TO WATCH UR REVIEWS n now I m addicted to ur work guys ..LOTS OF LOVE❤️❤️🙏🙏
OHM guys, glad you watched the master piece...Itd not jus a telugu classic it ran over a year in few theatres in Chennai and bangalore from other states. Do you know ? Forbes added J. V. Somayajulu's performance in the film on its list of "25 Greatest Acting Performances of Indian Cinema. IBN Live included Sankarabharanam on its list of "100 greatest Indian films of all time " . It got 4 national film awards, which is first for any south film. Director viswanath garu is a true legend of indian cinema....probably hez one of very few directors in india who had many classics in their filmography _/\_
Very kool observations as usual. Congrats on 1 million viewers. I just missed it!!! However, would like if you please pick Saagara Sangamam, a 1983 movie for next Telugu classical starring Kamal Hassan and Jaya Pradha and directed by K. Vishwanath garu. Male vocals are by is S.P. Bala Subramanyam garu. And Female vocals by S.Jaanaki garu. Its a dance and music marvel.
A young multi-talented dancer is poverty stricken and a principled person who does not want to compromise on his moral ethics for commercial dancing. A wealthy woman recognizes this talent and provides him with an opportunity to showcase his art.
Just happened to see your review and can't believe it.. your review was extensive covering all the aspects of the movie.
It was a sensational movie not in South but in North as well. I believe whenever people see JV Somayajulu garu, people used to touch his feet out of respect. I read his interview that those days he used to smoke and he was scolded by people for it and he had to quit the habit. People took the character so personally..
Coming back to your review, your argument on the climax was very nice. Such incidents weren't uncommon if you see the history and is the right ending for the movie.
You felt that the friend of Sankara sastry was loud but he brought so much of strength to the movie. Especially, when Sankara sastry ask the boy who came to see his girl to get out, his friend's takes Sankara sastry to task - ofcourse one needs to understand the language to know his frustration..
Great review by you folks..
Not sure whether you reviewed "Sagara sangamam" by K Viswanath but I'm sure you will sure fight for the climax scene..:).
Yayyyyy!!! That was an amazing review. You should explore this director who is a noneganarian now. He is one of the greatest directors produced by Indian cinema.
PS: the friend of the man you were referring to happens to be the grandfather of actor ALLU ARJUN
K. Viswanath garu the director of this movie passed away recently. It is a loss to telugu movie industry. I was always in awe about how one human being can create so many masterpieces.RIPsir.
this is once in a lifetime movie, connecting culture, tradition, the essence and subtlety of Indian music. To it add brilliant direction, portrayal of unsaid emotions. I am glad you guys enjoyed it. This is almost my only ever comment on your reviews after watching you guys for over a year :)
Korbin - it is understandable that you didn’t really like the ending. This is because of both cultural and generation gap. There is a lot there to apprehend.
1. The bond between them is more devotional than just a normal admiration.
2. This is because in India, teacher is equated to God. Especially so in the fields of music and dance. The lady’s love for him was not the ordinary kind.
3. The son in law does get medical help when Shastriji is sick and unable to sing but Shastri refuses it. He doesn’t want any disturbance when the kid is singing. The ultimate achievement for such an artist is that the art form doesn’t die with him. Appreciate hugely the fact that you understood that the legacy was passed on.
4. Just one point which maybe you couldn’t comprehend completely - Shastry is a pious Brahmin from an orthodox society. So, the lady staying with him etc., was a big scandal as she was a Devadasi. He respected her ( even though she was from that background) and her devotion (admiration ) towards him while he may or may not have reciprocated it.
Hi guys
Very glad to see this review,
Here are few more telugu classics list
Please react

MOUNA RAGAM
BEAUTIFUL MUSIC AND GREAT MOVIES
Hi Rick and korbin, in telugu there is a movie called "swathi muthyam" came out in 1985. Tamil famous actor Kamal hassan is the lead. This movie inspired Hollywood movie "Forest gump". you should watch this movie.
It is very entertaining movie...
woow!! totally didnt expect to see u guys to review this..... soooooo happy u did watch it.
@RICKSEGALL completely understand the climax like telugu people. Awsome review bro⚡💯
The quest to understand India and its culture would be incomplete without knowing about the two epics "Ramayana" and "Mahabharatha"
Sankarabarnam Climax
Rick : I love it
Korbin : I hate it 😂
Even though you both hate it, we respect ur views. Because it has so much of cultural references. It will remains as timeless classic to show our culture to next generations.
Next review
Sapthapadhi
Khaidi
Mayabazar
Great Job I didnt believe this movie would be reacted by you guys I feel now you are actually going to the skin of indian cinema.You guys are getting better
The context of the movie is sankara sastry is from brahmin caste which is the upper echelons of society with chaste followers. Whereas the girl was a prostitute and hence from the lowest echelons of society which makes her an untouchable for the brahmin community. The contrast is to show that humanity is most important and also arrform doesn't belong to any one sect of society.
This should've been given as the overview of the film before they watched it
I would love to have watched your reactions to this movie. Need to watch it one more time but need some company. Now that we are on same page, I would definitely have great time watching with you guys.
I think you guys found the pulse of Tollywood your selection is next level and all are epics and everyone's heartfull films ❤️
Wow. Respect for you guys went up 100 times. You are reviewing classics now. I am a bengali but i know - this movie is a gem.
Voice of SPB... just soulful... movie is extraordinary...music is divine 🙏
great stuff u guys!!!! really impressed.... Just one little correction. There is no love interest between the two leads. They only have a teacher-student relation and the lady sees him as her ultimate guru in her life. he gave her a reason to live. Rick, I absolutely loved how you connected with the whole movie especially the ending. I was damn sure that you would react to it just like this..
I usually watch some of your reviews. The son in law was played by my father who was a signature lead man in the 1970 and 80's. So here is a recommendation if you want to watch his solo performance was " padha harayla vayasu". He was the one who competed with Kamal hassan who did the tamil version of him. Unlike other stars in Indian cinema,my father is respected his art form as artist, and never his star Dom. He is a legend and my personal hero. His name is Chandra Mohan. He did a lot of characters and over the decades he changed his roles. My recommendations is to watch 'radha kalyanum" , " subhodhyum" and " Sita mahalakshmi" all movies were directed my the same film maker who did the movie you reviewed. He passed away recently earlier this week. I usually never come on social media but I wanted you guys to know about a legend that pretty much stays away from lime light but a stalwart. I am glad you enjoy the old classics. He is the only one who no one could imitate and still remains " untouched".
Seriously you watched shankarabharanam...you guys deserve a salute...oh no..you guys deserve standing ovation...such a classic, you watched
Wow ,nice..u reviewed one of the best classics of Indian cinema ..You ppl are classic 🤩
I can't believe it!! This is classic. It is a gem of a movie, especially the songs...love it.
It was remade/released in Hindi in 1985 Titled Sur Sangam. The heroine in the Hindi version is the heroine of Sagara Sangamam by the same Director. He won DADA SAHEB PHALKE AWARD,THE HIGHEST RECOGNITION FOR FILMS IN INDIA BY THE GOVT. OF INDIA.
Fun fact, the actor who played the lawyer (and the friend Corbin was annoyed with) in this movie (Allu Ramalingaiah) is Allu Arjun's grandfather and has acted in over 900+ movies
Salute sir !!!!You entertain us so beautifully. 👏👏👏
Ending is totally great! I don't know about America but in India there's so much instance where couple died together ❤️ There was this traigic incident where I was traveling to Saputara hills and there is a beautiful waterfall! And there was this old couple, enjoying their moment and suddenly auntie's foot slipped and she drowned! And that same moment uncle had heart attack and passed away! Might seem over the top but that's true love❤️! And it exists ❤️
Wow just wow one of the epic classic movies of Indian cinema. SPB was not a trained classical singer but he did an excellent job. The female lead Manju Bhargavi so beautiful such expressive eyes. The male lead somyajulu what a fantastic actor. The music legendary. The scene where he schools the youngsters about the western music or the scene where he schools the modern music master for not teaching music properly oh my such epic scenes 👍👍
"Music is divine whether it is western or Indian"
Legendary SPB learned carnatic music basics for this film and delivered unbelievable songs through his voice... Won national award fir best singer... Thanks for the review... Hope the great K. Vishwanath director of this film sees your reaction...
Oh my God! Sankarabharanam is one of the movies that moves me every time I watch it. The boy is not he but She. Her name is Tulasi. Please watch Swarnakamalam, one more masterpiece created by Director Viswanath. I have been watching your videos for over an year but just started reacting to them. Every feedback is so detailed and insightful. And, you guys are so funny!! Love your reactions!
I watched Sankarabharanam when I was a kid.. Thanks for watching and commenting on it. Please watch Kshna kshanam starring Sridevi and Venkatesh directed by Ram gopal Verma..path breaking film.
Director K. Vishwanath is one of the National award winning directors plus one of the best directors of South Indian film industry . The Kamal Haasan classical dance music that you reacted was also his directed movie name Sagara sangamam .
Finally boys! ❤️
PLEASE REVIEW BAHUBALI 2 MOVIE GUYS
Sagara sangamam and Swathi muthyam.. Highly recommended both are by same director, K. vishwanath and starring our very own Kamal Hassan..
Thanks for watching this
I have been requesting this for almost 6 months..
Nice u guys appreciating telugu classic ,iam a 90s guy and I saw the movie 5 years back and it blew my mind ,the relation of prostitute and him who will expect that ,and pure love for music its crazy.
The movie was a way ahead not just for Indian classical music but touching social taboo subjects (back then) and till today in major parts of the society so subtly and blended well with music.
I did recommend this movie in the Instagram
Great recommend brother ☺️👍🏽
Recommend them to wath all vishwanath mivies, particularly Sagarasangamam,swatikiranan, sirivennela pz
That's the ardent love for music portrayed by the protagonists who are bonded only with the thread of music and their devotion for it. That's exactly depicted in the climax scene. It's not love actually but adoration of master-disciple sort.
Since the movie is all about Indian carnatic (South Indian) music, about a well know musician. You do get songs every now and then. And these songs are original classical renditions and not just movie songs. They have been adapted to the context of the scenes. This movie was a rage and re kindled every persons love for music and infact did the real job of what it professes.
You know one thing of shankarabharanam....when that time the audience leave their footwear's at out side of theatres before watching shankarabharanam....
What..? What...? How it happened.? I am so happy 😍 Viswanadh garu is a legendary director. All his films are absolutely fantastic and with classical music backdrop.
The lead actress (Guru Manju Bhargavi) still teaches Kuchupudi dance at Bangalore and gives stage performances to this day.
I think it would be interesting for you guys to watch Padamata Sandhya Ragam. Since there is an American character in it and the movie was filmed in the US which was very new for that time.
YAY! They did it!! I am so happy they watched this movie. It would have been nice if they had mentioned SPB at least once, he is what made the songs come to life so beautifully. Anyway, happy that they saw this gem of a movie!
Your review is to good. However i looked fwd to listening about the singer SP Balasubramaniam (lovingly called SP Balu). Nevertheless your pick for this classic made my day. I am gonna listen to the beautiful music from this movie all through this week.
Swarnakamalam by k.viswanath sir
Rudraveena by k.balachandar sir (please please watch this )
If you like to see the remake movie with North Indian music- same director-, watch “Sur Sangam”. I personally preferred the music in this one.
For North Indian classical music please watch the B&w classic “Basant Bahar”.
For North Indian Classic dance please watch Kathak classic “Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baaje”, this has some of the most beautiful dance/music captured on film - east or west!!
This movie was dubbed into different languages across south India and was a block buster all over, ran in theatres for over a year I've heard
Please watch and review the Telugu films Sagara sangamam, Swarna kamalam. These films are based on indian classical dance with an excellent and melodious music. These movies are not just on classical music, but the way the scripts written to show the greatness of classical dance and music with family relationships and the love. And of course a little bit of drama in it. I am sure and trust me, you really love and enjoy these movies.
I wish someone suggests maayabazaar. I would love to hear rick’s opinion on the technical masterpiece.
It will be super great if they reacts...excited...
Awesome Men! You just watched one greatest ever Telugu film..!
I am really impressed with you guys...most telugu people of this generation don't even know the name of this movie....you guys are doing a good job👌
Guyz you just watched a classic Musical drama ! Great movie , acting , direction , Music , singing everything outstanding!! We watched it without subtitles , in Pune when I was a kid
MOTHER INDIA, ..... MOTHER INDIA...... MOTHER INDIA...... MOTHER INDIA.......MOTHER INDIA
