In Kannada films, the time for romance was not limited to Valentine's day. In fact the proof lies in a song from the movie 'Bili Hendathi' by veteran director Puttanna Kanagal. In a typical romantic duet, with the traditional 'running around the trees' (more precicely, walking around the hanging roots in Bengaluru's Big Banyan Tree), the heroine Arathi declares that the first word that came out of God's mouth was 'Prema'. In the movie 'Gejje Pooje' yet again by Puttana, the hero submits that love is actually the Fifth Veda. So in Kannada films Prema predates everyone except god and is also a sacred text. So, that was the background of the radio program on 2010 Feb 13th aka Premigala dina .
