The famous Telugu & Tamizh movies titled Mayabazaar are based on this folk story.

Bharat, Not only the Mayabazar was remade in Telugu and Tamil but was made in Hindi in early 1940s.I read somewhere that "Mayabazar' was staged at street dramas by Marathi travelling theater groups before the advent of cinema. I had taped the 1940s version of Mayabazar and was astounded how close the Telugu version of late 50s was to that version.
BTW I have the Telugu songs on the ipod and listen often while driving to work. In mid 80s we had hired a taxi to go to Adilabad from hyd. the driver put the cassettee of the whole film and since we were familiar we didnt need any video to imagine the scenes.
