•The parallel film moment in Karnataka took by storm by a series of enthusiastic directors like Dr.Pattabhirama Reddy (samskara) B.V.Karanth and Girsh Karnad (vamsha vruksha, chomanadhudi, Kadu, Taballi..) Nagabharana (Grahana) T.S.Ranga (savithri, gidh), Girish Kasaravalli (gathashradha) M.S Sathyu (bhara, kanneshwara rama) were all gave much importance to art direction here I want to make special mention of film Hamsageethe by veteran director G.V.Iyer
•
Sri.G.V.Iyer had directed scores of kannada films since 50’s but fell into the line of parallel film fold. Hamsageethe means swans song. The kannada novel written by famous writer TaRaSu was made into famous Hindi film BasanthBahar staring Bharath Bhushan and Nimmi. Hamageethe on the other hand filmed 2 decades later but with difference.

The Art direction by ShamaZaidhi depicting the period of Tipu and Palegar era, the dance stage on hillock . The procession carrying thambura in palanquin, and the climax were all a lesson.
