Pallavi (English: Refrain) is a 1976 Indian Kannada-language drama film directed by novelist P. Lankesh, in his directorial debut. He also stars, alongside Vimala Naidu. The film is based on his own 1967 novella Biruku (English: Crack), and won three National Film Awards: Second Best Feature Film, Best Feature Film in Kannada and Best Direction. It also won five Karnataka State Film Awards: Best Film, Best Direction (Lankesh), Best Music (Rajeev Taranath), Best Screenplay and Best Dialogues (Lankesh).

Plot

Shanta (Vimala Naidu) is a bouncy university teenager who idolises film actresses. She is as idealistic as her boyfriend Chandru. The two apply for jobs; while Chandru is rejected because of his rudeness, Shanta is accepted because of her charm and self-confidence. Chandru and Shanta end their relationship. Shanta eventually marries her boss, Jagannathan (P. Lankesh), but continues working. Her old boyfriend suddenly resurfaces, a fugitive from justice, and accuses her of having sold out in return for security.^[1]^[2]

Production

Pallavi is novelist P. Lankesh's directorial debut.^[3] It is based on his own 1967 novella Biruku. In his 1997 autobiography Huli-Maavina Mara (English: A Sour-Mango Tree), Lankesh claimed that his passion for making films led him to direct a film without any prior experience in the field.^[4] The film was produced by K. S. Indira Lankesh under the banner Indira Lankesh Productions. Cinematography was handled by S. Ramachandra.^[1]^[5] Principal photography began on the same day as the declaration of "the Emergency".^[4] P. Lankesh's voice was dubbed by T. S. Ranga.^[6]

Themes

Pallavi deals with themes such as student union revolution,^[7] college life, and unemployment issues in the hands of bureaucrats.^[8] According to the 1998 edition of Encyclopaedia of Indian Cinema, it was one of only three films to have direct political and formal links with the Navya Movement.^[9]

Music

The music of the film was composed by Rajeev Taranath.^[1]

Reception

Peter Cowie wrote in the book International Film Guide 1978, "Pallavi has some of the flaws common to a first film (Lankesh, much admired as a Kannada writer, is new to the cinema), but is actually very competent and unswerving in its denunciation of the primitive role still accorded to most Indian women."^[10] At the 24th National Film Awards, Pallavi won in three categories: Second Best Feature Film, Best Feature Film in Kannada and Best Direction for Lankesh.^[11]^[12] It won in five categories at the Karnataka State Film Awards: Best Film, Best Direction (Lankesh), Best Music (Rajeev Taranath), Best Screenplay and Best Dialogues (Lankesh).^[8]

Impact

In the book A Handbook of Karnataka, historian Suryanath U. Kamath considered Pallavi, amongst many other films, to be responsible for establishing the 1970s as the "age of the new-wave or experimental films" in Karnataka.^[13]
