Ghantasaala Gaana Charita

Sree Challa Subbaraayudu has done a great service to Ghantasaala fans everywhere by collecting together all known songs of Ghantasala in his compilation, "Ghantasaala Gaana Charitha". Since its publication, some omissions and errors have come to light; neverthless, this book remains a "bible".

Sree K.V.Rao garu and Sree Prabhakar Nukala garu have been compiling the audio of these songs, using this book for reference. It is through their great generosity that we bring you this collection. An added attraction is that they have added some introductory comments to the first song in each movie!

We will be posting these songs in chronological order, up until the year 1960. We believe posting songs beyond that period might infringe the rights of the current copyright owners.

The titles, movie numbers and song numbers below follow the order in the book. The first number in the title refers to the Movie number, and the second number refers to the song number within that movie, as given in the book.

If you know of any additional entries which should be in the book, or have songs from this period that are not in the list below, and would like to share, please let me know (sreenadh @ ghantasala.info)!

We request that you listen/download only the songs that you do not have. Bandwidth is a limited resource, and if we run out of it, you will be doing an injustice to a fellow Ghantasala fan and depriving him/her of great pleasure. In particular, automated or scripted downloads are a serious No-No.

Enjoy!
