" Vipra Narayana "  story is based on the life of a Tamil Vaishnava Saint who led his life in devotion to Lord Narayana and worked for the Perumal by dedicating him with garlands. He is one of the 12 Alvars. P. Ramakrishna and Bhanumathi of Bharani Pictures decided to go in for a devotional subject for their sixth production and selected the story of Vipranarayana. While Bhanumathi herself was the natural choice for the role of Devadevi, Ramakrishna signed ANR to play the saint .Music is by S Rajeswara Rao for this 1954 film . Bhanumathi songs are superb while A M Raja songs are no less. Personally for me , this film is all about her songs first.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUJbcpOFsgE  .... .

Abhi Bhattacharya as the Saint Chandidas & Kamini Kaushal in the title role in Raami Dhoban - 1953 . A 1934 filmtitled Chandidas too had been made in hindi based on the same story....The story revolves around the 15th century poet-saint Chandidas who acts out against the deep-rooted bigotry against caste, untouchoubility and the hypocrisy of society, and a washer woman with whom he falls in love. Music is by Hiren Bose. Hear the awesome Geeta Dutt & Hemant Kumar duet in this film .....Kanan more Shyam rang dhole kaun hari hari bole kaun...Hear this & njoy on the occasion of Janmashtami.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNPV0Ia9BHg..
