can you post more information about Galipenchala garu !! Please !!! In the last few days I listened to the song "seetaramula kalyanamu chutamu raarandi" close to hundred times and still can't come out of it ... One should listen to it from the dvd instead of audio cassette[ I think the audio cassettes remove that 59 seconds instrumental piece in between .. what a loss ..].
How blissful and nostalgic is that music !

thanks
