dhool.com has a seies of articles on her
http://www.dhool.com/banumathi.htm
She quit films once and was persuaded to come back by B.N. Reddy. The comeback film ‘Swargaseema’ has a famous song
which is popular to this day. For Telugu people, probably her most popular film is ‘Malliswari’, I do not thin that it was remade in Hindi. Several of the songs from ‘Chandirani’ are still very popular.
There is a song in ‘Apurva Sahodarulu’ (also in Tamil)which she sang in five languages
The Hindi version in Nishan was sung mostly (?)by Shamshad Begum

Gaddeswarup ji,
If I am not mistaken,there is also a song by Janaki from film Manchi Mansulu which starts from” oho oho paurama”.
This song was later copied ditto by Madan mohan(on the insistence of the producer,ofcourse) as Lata’s “Miyanw2 meri sakhi,achi achhi meri sakhi,bol mere balma ki surat hai kaisi”.

Arunkumar ji,
Yes, it is a 1962 film. It was sung by S. Janaki and the actress was Shavukar Janaki. It was on YouTube awhile ago
” Oho Oho pavurama vayyari pavurama”
It may still be on YouTube but I could not find it immediately. I think there are a quite a few pavuram (pigeon) and chiluka (parrot) songs.

Kamath ji,
You have aptly said that the entire life of great artist like Bhanumathi can not be capsulated in just 1 paragraph.
Bhanumathi had established the BHARANI STUDIOS in 1947 and it produced 10 films,starting with Ratnamala in 1947 and ending with Vivaha Bandhanam in 1964.
The original composer C.R.Subburaman actually died after recording one song-incidentally the above song- and the rest of the 8 songs were managed by the team of M.S.Viswanatham and Ramamurthy who were the assistants then and later,as you said ,played a havoc in southern music industry.
Hindi version was the last of the three,so to the Telugu and Tamil versions the composer was Subburaman only.

Bhanumati was a gorgeous beauty indeed! Her voice had that distinct ‘chhappa’. She acted in some all time hits in Tamil. In ‘Ali Babavum 40 thirudargal’, ‘Malay Kallan’ and ‘Madurai Veeran’ she starred opposite a young MGR. ‘Mallai Kallan’ was remade as ‘Azaad’ in Hindi starring Dilip Kumar and Meena Kumari. Her duet with A M Raja from ‘Alibabavum…’ ” Maasila…” is still a very popular song. Incidentally, ‘Bharani’ is her son’s name.
