Nauka Caritramu

An award-winning 1997 documentary on three women of the Carnatic tradition, M.S. Subbulakshmi, D.K. Pattammal and Tanjore Brinda, built around interviews filmed with all three during their lifetimes and around the devotional songs of Tyagaraja.

Indian Carnatic vocalist (1916–2004) and the defining voice of South Indian devotional music in the twentieth century. She was the first musician to receive the Bharat Ratna, and her renderings of the Venkateswara Suprabhatam and the Bhaja Govindam are still heard daily in homes and temples across India and beyond.
