Rain songs one used to hog the limelight in the film industry. There were times when films were not completed without a single rain song. Filmmakers used to have rain songs to highlight the glamor of heroines and elevate their beauty in rain to give sleepless nights to movie lovers. Movie lovers cannot forget the songs 'chitapata chinukulu','aku chatu pinde tadise' to name a few.
During the 70s and 80s Telugu films used to have beautiful and memorable rain songs and even during the 90s heroines like Vani Vishwanath gained the tag of water beauty. However, after 2000, rain songs reduced and now films are not having any rain songs.
Rain songs are very difficult to picturise and hero, heroines have to work and strain hard. So genex actors are saying no to rain songs. But there is no denying that old rain songs are still in great demand.
