Big B Amitabh on his song scene in Asoga

Jul 27, 2016 by Editor 18 Comments

belagavi

abhiman-1

A village named Asoga on the banks of river Malaprabha’s very attractive tourist place famous for its temple. This temple was built during the Kadamba kings in the mediveal period. Important sequences from the 70s hit movie ‘Abhimaan’ (featuring Amithabh Bacchan and Jaya bhaduri) were shot near the river Malprabha at Asoga. The entire song ‘Nadiya kinare’ has been shot there.

abhiman-asoga bacchan
Still capture from the Song

bacchan-asoga abhiman

abhiman  Amitabh Bacchan had said- This film was very special for Jaya and me because we had produced it. Hrishida was our godfather. SD Burmansaab gave the music and the time we spent with him during the music sittings was unforgettable. The way he’d sing, we failed to bring the essence into our recordings. I always felt that there was some kami somewhere, he would sing so beautifully. The song was shot in a village near Belagavi. Hrishida wanted a village environment with a small temple, a river, a sacred pond with its water capable of uniting two people in love. We found such a pond. Back then, Jaya and I weren’t married. It was a very special time for both of us. Jaya had long, ankle-length hair then.

    What’s the prob if unmarried couples go there? What is the need and the reason behind handing them over to police? Cheap mentality …. Even Amitabh says in the article that he was unmarried when the scene was shot with Jaya…
    Will I be handed over to police if I come there along with my cousin sister? Coz were unmarried..? Mr.Misal?

    This article reminds me of a trip I took along with few of my friends to Asoga on a rainy day in Jul 2007. We crossed the khanapur Railway crossing and headed down the muddy road to Asoga, half way through due to heavy rain and road being too slippery we had to cut short the journey without reaching final destination!
    Never the less the beauty of Asoga as captured in “Abhimaan” and the humming tune of SD were so powerful that we went to the place a few days after the failed first attempt. The place is still wonderful and the flowing river and hundreds of “Shivalingas” on the banks are mesmerizing.

    This place is a must see for any one trying to explore BGM and around, especially during the rainy season. It is great to hear Big-B mentioning about this place.
