vivaha bhojanambu aka THE LAUGHING POLICEMAN



Ask any old generation moviebee about their favorite wedding/fun songs, and among the top in that list will feature Vivaha Bhojanambu from the movie Mayabazar (1957). How many times did we not grin while SV Rangarao playing the mythical character Ghatodgaja devouring the wedding lunch meant for thousands all alone? Well, even this song, the favorite of many Telugu Cinefans from more than half a century, has been 'inspired' from an English song. Yes, the song is a music hall song called The Laughing Policeman by Charles Penrose in 1922. This song has sold over a million copies world-over and has been a frequently requested song on BBC Radio 1 in the show 'Junior Choice'.
