Haven’t we all watched the classic, `The Sound of Music` (1965), humming with Julie Andrews to Do re mi and My favourite things? Shriya Saran, a die-hard fan of the musical, is one of us in that regard. Which is why her 2023 summer release, `Music School`, took her back to her childhood days. In a unique move, the Papa Rao Biyyala-directed venture features three evergreen songs from `The Sound of Music — Do re mi`, `Sixteen going on seventeen`, and `My favourite things`. Before the film went on floors in Goa in 2021, the ditties were orchestrated by the London Philharmonic Orchestra for the project.

The Sound of Music had won five Academy Awards
