What happens

Sandhya Raga () is a 1966 Indian Kannada-language film directed by A. C. Narasimha Murthy and co-produced by him alongside A. Prabhakara Rao. The film stars Dr. Rajkumar, Udaykumar, Narasimharaju and K. S. Ashwath. The musical score was composed by G. K. Venkatesh. The famous song "Nambide Ninna Naadadevathe" features three versions: one sung by M. Balamuralikrishna, another by Bhimsen Joshi (during the climax), and a female version by S. Janaki. Director S. K Bhagawan revealed that, though he directed the film, he was not officially credited for it. He also mentioned that A. N. Krishna Rao and Beechi had co-written the dialogues with him for the film. The film is based on the novel of same name by Rao. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
