KANNADA Movies

[Oldposts]

Topic started by Manjunath on Sun Aug 29 04:09:51 .


Why there is no discussion on KANNAda movies? Amritavarshini is a very good movie recently. WHAt do you think?

[Oldposts]

manju,
good that u brought up this topic. there are several good and quite a few great kannada movies that so many have missed out simply because of the language. was watching Shankar Nag's Accident last week, man what a brillliant film, with a magnificent BGM by who else, our own Isaignani. so many other films we can discuss, provided there's interest.

[Oldposts]

cram: Pleasantly surprised that IR scored BGM for accident. Its a very good movie indeed. I did not know the MD but the BGM was very good too.

Manjunath: Amruthavarshini is one of the best Indian movies I have seen. Its a simple story very well narrated, with a good ending. Deva for a change did a good job with teh music and bgm. Who is teh director? Apparently, he makes really good movies.

[Oldposts]

'Beladingale bale' was one good movie. Was this inspired by some hollywood stuff?

[Oldposts]

rr,
i don't think it was "inspired" by any foreign movie, though the theme was definitely miles ahead of much of the trash that Hollywood churns out.
srk,
who stars in amruthavarshini, and what's the storyline? i haven;t been in touch with kannada filmdom for quite some time.

[Oldposts]

Amruthavarshini
Stars: Suhasini, sarath babu, Ramesh Arvind, Tara
Direction: Dinesh Babu
Story : A man(ramesh arvind) obsessed with his friend's (sarath babu) wife (Suhasini)ends up killing sarathbabu, wife starts suspecting the friend and takes revenge (in a different way). This is the plot.
great acting!!!!!

[Oldposts]

Cram,
yes it was miles ahead of other Indian junk. Do you know who the director was?

[Oldposts]

no idea rr,
only know that anant nag starred in it.

[Oldposts]

Hi,

I was reading the mails regarding Beladingala Bale and Amrithavarshini. Yes. Definitely classic movies as far as the kannada lots are concerned.

Just for the information sake:

Beladingala Bale was a complete offbeat movie wherein, the heroine's voice is heard over the phone talking to a chess champion. She starts giving hints on how to identify her and her house.

She uses different strategies and the entire flim, people watch it on the edge of the seat.

I was quite impressed with the last shot of the movie. The Hero (Anant Nag)finally is able to catch hold of her telephone number and address. But by the time he reaches her house, she is dead. Anant comes and out and it starts raining. The director has shows rain as a symbolic representation of the clouded emotions bursting off from his heart. By the way, the director of this movie is Sunil Kumar Desai, who has given block busters like Nammoora Mandara Hoove, Nishkarsha, Utkarsha, etc.

[Oldposts]

i think desai also directed tarka, a powerful film that was remade as puriyatha puthir in tamil.
btw, who is the monosyllable title specialist who has made Om, Ssh! and A?

[Oldposts]

Isn't it Upendra?

[Oldposts]

Beladingala Bale was copied from an english movie
"KNIGHT MOVES" starring Christopher lambert, Tom skeritt ( A murder mystery )

[Oldposts]

Golden Era of Kannada movies
------------------------------
Samaskara was one of the great kannada movies
produced in the 60s or 70s. This was based
on story by U. R. Anantha Murthy.
Book was so great that its English Translation
was prescribed text book in Literature Dept. in
many US universities.

[Oldposts]

Please discuss on Black and white classics.

What do u want to say on old kannada movies like school master , sakshatkara etc. Its really tocuhy and emotional.

[Oldposts]

'Udbhava' was a lovely movie I had seen in Kannada. This was a good social satire like cho's 'Mr Sampath' but a better movie than cho's. Anantnag brings out the stupidities of our society and the punch dialogue 'Even if the Maheswara and Ganeswara come out and say that, these folks are not going to believe' was a real punchy..

[Oldposts]

Good to see some discussion on Kannada movies. It is unfortunate that the (mostly) trashy Hindi movies are taken as the norm for Indian movie standards. We do not get to see many Kannada movies here in the Boston region. I wish there is a way to buy Kannada videos. Anyone who can provide this info will be much appreciated.

[Oldposts]

1) Has Vasudeva Rao acted in any other movie after 'Chomana Dudi'? Is he a Telugu or Kannadigaa?

2) Has Girish Kasaravalli directed any other movie after the national award winner 'Taparana Katha?'

3) Can someone give details of G.V.Iyer's movies prior to Hamsa Geethee?

[Oldposts]

Marudu,
I think "Thayi Saheba" is a movie by Girish Kasaravalli released two/three years back..

[Oldposts]

kasaravalli made Ghatashradhha, Mane (terrific movie starring Naseeruddin Shah, Deepti Naval and Rohini Hattangadi) and Kraurya (before Thayee Saheba).

[Oldposts]

Are there any kannada films running around boston area

[Oldposts]

Are there good kannada movies running around los angeles area

[Oldposts]

gelleyaree , does any one know of any indian movies particularly kannada movies where the theme or focus has been a mental illness. Here in pittsburgh we(Psychiatrists) are looking at adressing mental health issues of the indian community and may be helping them if needed. I am thankful for whoever created this site where kannada is a focus

[Oldposts]

has anyone seen the movie called Bhumi geetha which baggede the national award for the best movie on conservation of environment.people make good movies but the youth of today want to watch only bollywood and hollywood.if you want a video of the film i will be able to help you

[Oldposts]

I know of one kannada movie "Sharapanchara" starring Kalpana. Its a pretty good movie where the theme is mental illness

[Oldposts]

I think a film called 'Mithileya Seetheyaru' also dealt with some form of mental illness..
Thene there were 'kaadina benki' and 'prathama ushakirana' dealing with marital and child psychiatry respectively

[Oldposts]

I remember watching a movie called Vamsavriksha more than 12 years ago on TV. A very controversial story. A very bold effort. It surprises me that so many years later Fire and Water are stirring controversy while Vamsavriksha has gone unnoticed by many.

[Oldposts]

guys, have u seen utkarsha of sunil kumar desai. it's a master piece and so is tarka. if u guys see these movies, it's comparable to alfred hitch cocks movies.

[Oldposts]

u r all right!!!but this man upendra is a genius.i have grown up seeing english movies,but i have never seen a director as brilliant and talented as this man,upendra.maan!!!he's a genius.his movies shhhh!! ,om,a,upendra were fantastic.he's coming up with a movie called hollywood.the best part of him is his superb directoral skills.see it to believe me!!!!!!!!

ACTUALLY, "Beladingala Bale" was based on a Kannada which was translation of an original telugu novel by Yandamuri.

so.. nothing to do with that english movie!!

So if your in the mood for kannada videos

Hai,

I love kannada.

[Oldposts]

I was surprised by looking at this site. I am a hardcore kannadiga and this is a good forum to discuss kannada movies etc.
Also, the editor/moderator should remove offensive material from this site.

[Oldposts]

There were some great offbeat movies like,
'Kubi matthu Iyala', 'Abachoorina Post Office', 'Muyyi' (N.Lakshminarayan's classic),
Shankhanaada (superb comedy), 'Naandi'..
I think when there was not much inter-exchange of ideas among various langauges, some classic gems were created. Of late, it is very difficult to find a pure screenplay with a no-nonsense narration. I think rather than the lack of creativity, the pressure due to various external factors is the reason for the stifling of Kannada movies...

[Oldposts]

Can somebody please tell me where I can buy/rent
Kannada casettes/DVD's in US ?

[Oldposts]

The only DVD kannada movie available is 'America america'. And all VHS kannada cassettes are extremely bad prints. I asked many desi video stores as to why this is the case - and every one says that they never get original kannada cassettes !!! Even in Bangalore, it is next to impossible to get original prints of kannada movies !

[Oldposts]

hey,

did anyone watch "Sharapanjara" yesterday on "Chandana". What a master piece that was...even the nth time I watch, its as good as watching it for the first time. Kaveri's character is so touching. Anyways, I'm interested in knowing about the actress Kalpana and her life. If any of you all are aware of any site which has info about her, let me know the URL.

Thanks in advance.

regards.

[Oldposts]

Hi,

If some director copies a script from others it doesnt mean all kannadigas are bad. Pls try to remove few responses which is really shocking and surprising. Infact it clearly tells what kinda person has written that. He has given his URL.

Hello Friends,
to know in detail about kannada movies... please check this site http://TotalKannada.com and the section "About Kannada movies.." and also "We Recommend" section.
Definitely there are lot of good movies in Kannada. And also better movies than Hindi,Tamil or Telugu. Only problem is SOME people are biased about Kannada movies. I think even Manirathnam can't make the movies like Beladhingala Baale,Nishkarsha, A ,Upendra or Om. We have directors( Upendra,Desai) of caliber better than any other language directors.

Tamilians are the most cursed people on earth.

and who are the heroes of tamil industry?
rajnikanth etc. who have been kicked out of karnataka.
and out of total frustration another rascal tamil veerappan who is the god of tamialians kisnaps a kannada hero rajkumar to beg drinking water !!!
what a shameless rascals are these cursed tamilians.
frustrated and thirsty tamilians (dirty beggars who are slaves to kannadigas) write frustrating things here)
Ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!!

Oops am soory, WRITE in kannada. you better give respect take respect. if you hate kannada then don't even look it. and then answer so shably. want kannada language to be the world language by staying in other countries. you people are all over the world[stinking] tamilians STINK. what do you think of yourself. you people don't have space for yourself. coming to karnartaka and staying there without respecting kannada. KANNADA IS GREAT, if you want tamil to be then try to be nice though its very hard for you.

look you idiot. we are not talking about anuprabhakar or any part of her body. you better give respect in order to take some. if you want to pull yourself up doesn't mean you need to pull someone else down. you tamilians are all over the world. ask yourself where do you stay in karnartaka? you can speak very good kannada with very good words thats so difficult to read. look at your condition when veerapan kidnapped rajkumar. what you were very afraid of yourself trying to beg kannadigas for your own life. Ha!!! bigAss mud head base ball structured people.ha losers.

[Oldposts]

Haha. Look at the heroes and movies you have. Can't you guys come up with anything original? You have an old buffoon called Rajkumar as your superhero, not to mention his insufferable sons, and you have the nerve to make digs at actors of the stature of Rajnikant and Kamal Haasan. Ask that chuth Vishnuvardhan to stop copying Rajnikant. And that Upendra guy! Yuck! No wonder Tamil and Hindi movies are doing much better than your sicko movies, even in Bangalore! Go get a life, guys!

Arjun's mother is a kannadiga .
but she was raped by the tamil idiot veerappan

tamilians are idiots! u never read any of the other discussion forums did u? i don't get what word was wrong by kannadigas. Oh! let me guess you haven't seen tamil nadu [ its stinking ] i think its fine if we make some mistake in forums but you made mistakes on wallpapers, headlines. you people mistook hole for whole.there was something written as hole sale rather than whole sale!!! ha suckers. such a dirty mud heads. why are you blaming us? there are films not dubbed in kannada from your stinking language. duh! you people are all over karnartaka that good kannada movies are not running properly in theatres. On what side of world are you sitting in??????/// did you read the top of this page oh let me guess NO! you are so fricking that you coun't read our precious language.Oh! well that's another Fricker who wrote that. so long suckers

[Oldposts]

hi
kannadigas you can check www.chitraloka.com its a good website for news from kannada films. its almost updated everyday.

[Oldposts]

Boy! You guys need immediate treatment if you are actually saying Kannada movies are good as a whole. And for the record, I'm not a Tamilian. I am from Kerala and am proud to say that all these years I've had clear eye when it comes to analysing movies. I don't owe Tamil Nadu anything for me to say they are making refreshingly good movies. Cross your heart and say. There was a Karanth, a Kasravalli...and a Karnad. After them, who? I've been among those cursed souls, during my college years in Bangalore, who had to be subjected to unadulterated torture in the form of many Kannada movies. And the reasonably better ones are remakes of Tamil and Telugu movies. These are hard facts, buddies. No tampering with it. There was a time when Kannada movies stood second only to Malayalam in the south. Now, even being a Malayali, I can say that movies in Kerala are on a downslide, and the most young and happening movement in Indian cinema is happening in Tamil. In terms of mainstream designs, I'd rate the southie movies of the present day like this. 1. Tamil 2. Malayalam 3. Telugu and 4. Kannada. And please, if you guys don't have the thing to say that a spade is a spade, that you are in alarming need of talented actors and original writers/directors, then I rest my case. And boys, don't bring in Kaveri and stuff like that when you get riled up about me, 'coz I don't care a damn about Kaveri, Krishna or Jayalalitha. Cheerio!

[Oldposts]

Dear friends,

Why this unhealthy argument. When we are discussing about a subject we must be ready to accept certain bitter facts also.
Kannada movies certainly were the best in 60's to 80's in south india. However now a days our film makers want to see only money and hence want to compare and compete with Non-kannada films in karnataka and hence have produced mostly bad taste films(with some exceptions). It is required that these Non-Kannada films except Hindi and English be avoided screening in theatres to bring back that Kannada culture and style of viewing and producing quality films of the range of puttanna, hunsur, panthulu etc.

hi,
it is exactly write that our producers look only for money. kannadigas are not seeing their own kannada films but seeing other language films. we need to stop doing that.
May be that we should stop comparing things and cultures and try to talk about kannada.
O.K i wish you would agree for that. lets just take a look at present kannada movies and songs. well lets start like:
1>whats your favorite kannada film?
2>which songs do you most like?
3>who is your best actor?
4>who is your best actress?

i would really be thankfull if everybody anwsers these questions?

[Oldposts]

Is true that malayalees make only blue movies?

[Oldposts]

i get a feeling the same way that malayalees make only blue movies. i think it is true.

[Oldposts]

all languages are sacred that is what kannadigas believe but on the other hand tamilians believe that the centre of the earh is coimbatore.you do not get any news paper other than tamil. why?realy they are funny fellows.most of the tamil films are nearer to porno acts.such thing spoil the minds of young persons. i wish tamilians become broad hearted persons.

People, a couple of days back I saw a Kannada song programme on some TV channel. All the 6-7 songs I saw were from remakes of Tamil movies, with the songs lifted note by note. What took the cake was this song from the movie remade from the Tamil "Vaali". I don't know who the actor and actress are, but both of them were unabashedly copying, even the gestures of Ajit and Simran in the original. I mean, absolute lack of ideas has not been something new for Kannada movies for quite some time. But hey, at least show some difference in tilting faces and caressing manes. Yucks!

[Oldposts]

Look, i agree with you.
Kannada movies are always remake of other language films. There is no hatred between tamilians and kannadigas, execpt it starts with this fricking website, whomever comes to this website reads something bad about their own religion. Who the heck can tolerate this? Try to talk something good and look at the reaction other of people who read it and everything positive is going to occur.

[Oldposts]

Hello Arjun,
I can give a list of tamil movies which were remade from Kannada. Don't be a "frog-in-the-well". come out of your "BARRIERS". Tamil is not the only language in the world. You people are like muslims on this earth. Language fanatics.
You people force your language, culture on us. That is not going to put a good sense about you guys.
Change your thoughts first. Nation first and then the your religion,region.

[Oldposts]

Dude, what barriers are you talking about? I am not a Tamilian. I'm a Malayali. And boy, if you intend to say Kannada movies are better than Tamil or most Tamil movies are remakes from Kannada, no prizes for guessing who's the frog-in-the-well. For the record, have a look at this.

hello Arjun,
if u are a malayalee then why you have soft corner for tamilians ? what wrong we have done for you ? have u seen kannada films "Om" , "Nammoora mandaara hoove" , "Amrutha Varshini" , "A", etc,etc... ? These movies are remade/dubbed in Tamil. Do you know that ? I can give a list of tamil movies which where were copied from english also. Manirathnam copied scenes directly from "E.T." in his movie "Anjali". Do you call this "Copying business" as a "Creativity" ? What is your answer for this man ?

MANGDULLE (Look for kannada dictionary).. First learn to respect your mother and also respect some one who gives some shelter.. KATTE TULLE (Look for kannada dictionary)... You mallu's do not have any thing to show show on screen except dirty womans (Old lady dogs with no restiction and culture and resdy to sell themself for free... with special offer One male dog is free for 10 male dogs (Mallu's)!!!!!).. Kannadiga's have a true clean heart and won't force anyone, who wants to live in GARDEN STATE, and respect for all the languages.. If you really want to talk some thing about your state say some thing, but if you start arguing about some thing to pain some real kannada lovers, then it means you are an monther FUCCCCCKKKKKER... No need to explain meaning of this right???? Kannada is a very rich language... If you do not know any thing about it SHUT THE FCUUUUKKKKK UP....Here is some real kannada words which suits you very well take print out of this and have some kannda guide look for the meaning.. All these words have precious meaning... SOOLE, KATTE SOOLE, MINDRIGUTTIDANE, TAHIADKA, HALKA SOOLE MAGNE, KATTE TULLE, NIMMAJJI SHATA, MANGDULLE, AYOGYA, BEVARSI, MINDRI, TIRBOKI, BOSUDIKE, NINNAMMAN, NIMMAKKAN...

WOW WOW WOW U People are very good at srguing Look arjun, you are not a tamilian, we are making remakes of tamil, not saying fuc*kking kannada movies are perfect. Get this staight into your head. What have we done to hate us so much, you don't have a reason to? Really. i never knew fricking kannada movies are remakes. there are few kannada movies that are not remakes. Well bastar*ds will stop making remakes after march whaterver date that was and we can see if our directors and scriptwriters are creative or headless.

Mmmm...After all, people will one day show their true colours and class, or the lack of it. Ref: The posting by Hachcha Kannadiga. Friend, by the way, it's "Idiot" and not "Ediot". For people with better senses, plagiarism, whoever does it, shouldn't be entertained. Even if it comes from Maniratnam. My problem with Kannada movies is not just lack of originality. The production values are absolutely pathetic. And please enlighten me whether there are any exceptionally talented artists in Kannada now. And I don't think you guys will be brave enough to give names of Ambareesh, Rajkumar or his sick-looking son. For me, Vishnuvardhan has been the only Kannada actor with some charisma. As for people like Upendra and Ravichandran, well, less said the better. And people, next time while using English profanities, cross-check with the Dictionary. Cheers!

[Oldposts]

Arjun you accept you are a idiot.
O.K. kannada movies some of them are not remakes. We don't have talented actors. We do ambreesh, rajkumar, shivrajkumar [he is not sick-looking], vishnuvardhan, prema, anu prabhakar, tara, any many many more.

Arjun likes Tamil movies.
But he is originally from kerala.
He lives in Karnataka.
Malayalam and Tamil movies are good for him,
but he cannot tolerate to live in kerala or tamil nadu. The reasons are obvious, there is nothing to drink or eat in kerala and tamil nadu.
Arjun lives in karnataka but criticizes Kannada.
WHAT A SHAMELESS FELLOW!

[Oldposts]

For Arjun,
If shivaraj kumar is sick looking for Arjun then what we should tell about Rajanikanth , Vijaykanth, Vijay , Paandyan of tamil film land , Ajay devagan, Saif ali khan, Sanjay dhat of hindi film land ? why this partiality ? why this double standards treatment between Hindi ,Tamil and our Kannada ?

Arjun,what do u know about our Upendra ? It is his movie "OM" which was inspiration to "Sathya" of Hindi. And upendra's "operation antha" was the inspiration to Kamal's "Indian". His other movies "A" , "Upendra" collected nearly 10 crores in Karnataka and crossed the collections of even chiranjeevi movie in Andhra Pradhesh. In our Upendra "Talent" flows like a water. So, without knowing much about the person / subject don't ever jump to conclusions and comment.

I am not arguing about the quality of other language movies but just bringing to your notice that EVEN in kannada there are lots of good kannada movies. But you are not aware of that. That's all.

[Oldposts]

People, why are you guys taking things so personally? Have I ever said that I have anything against KANNADIGAS? My problem is with KANNADA MOVIES. Actually, I have a lot of Kannadiga friends, who swear that they'd prefer watching a Tamil, Hindi or English movie to a Kannada movie. Again, I'm talking about the educated, city-bred youngsters. I dunno about others. Further, I don't consider looks as a criterion for movies. That "sick-looking" comment about Shivraj Kumar was an off-hand one. It doesn't mean that all Tamil heroes are Greek gods. By the way, Rajnikant is NOT sick-looking for me. After Bachchan, he has the most magnetic presence on Indian screen. And Sanjay Dutt! Come on, dude, are you out of your mind?!! Vijaykant, yeah, he IS an obese, sick-looking dud. Vijay, though not terribly handsome, has his own charm. And Pandyan, boy! even in his heyday, he was just a second-rung hero. Now, he has the standing of an extra. So there. There may be the stray good movie released in Kannada. But my contention is clear. In terms of sheer quality, Kannada comes last in the south, as for NOW. And Lakshmikanth, it maybe a matter of perception, but I've tried sitting through a couple of movies of this guy called Upendra. His themes and treatment are refreshing, but for me it was practically impossible to stand the way he acts. Maybe he should quit acting and stick to filmmaking. No offence meant. And Truth, I DON'T stay in Karnataka. I'm proud that my home is in God's Own Country and I just happen to work in Tamil Nadu. I only did my college in Bangalore. Given a choice, I'd always love to be in my little lush green state, even if there isn't anything to eat. ;)

[Oldposts]

Arjun,
My name is Ramadhasan, born and brought up in Bangalore. My mother tounge is Tamil , but i claim myself as a Kannadiga. I see both Kannada and Tamil movies. But i don't think tamil movies are great expect for very few/year. There are some very good movies made in Kannada like "AmruthaVarshini" which is better than any manirathnam movie. i haven't seen a movies like "Om", "America America" , "A" in tamil.

Can u give me the list of all good movies for every year from your Tamil , malayam movies ? are there 100% good movies made every year ? it may be 10%. Do u agree with that ?. It can't be more than 10% good movies made every year in every language. Kannada movies are not getting noticed b'cas Kannadiga's "Lack of Abhimana". It doesn't mean that kannada stands last in southern film land.I think the last position is ALWAYS reserved for malayam PRON movies. so, you better go and enjoy those movies in your god's state. As soon as i hear the word "malayalam movies" i get the meaning as "A movies".
Kannada movies have won 7 times "Best film" award at national level. Do u know this fact ?
Have you seen the movie "Mutthina haara" ? Can u compare with any of your malayalam movie ? Any movie made in malayam of this calibre ? I can give give 10 good movies/year made in kannada. Can you give more than 10 good movies names( per year) from tamil,telugu,hindi, malayalam ? DO you have 100% success rate ?
Even in hollywood 80% movies made are junk.
With all these why you have so much of "HATRED", biased opinions about our Kannada movies.
Get lost to your "GOD's country".

It is the people like you who are pulling our language down and spreading the bad things about our kannada movies. Shame on you.

[Oldposts]

Look,
i am not sure of this.Does prabhudeva act in tamil?
Well he is doing in the H2o kannada film with upendra? i think that's not a remake. Arjun i know you visit rediff.com regularly. Don't your mind ever pass through something that means the production value of kannada could be increasing. Millions of ruppees have been spent on our films. Kannada film yekangi starring ravichandran is one example. it may not be a remake i hope. But our kannada films are pretty good nowadays.
Look, i am not telling tamilians are bad. i have many friends that are tamilians, very best friends, even telugu speaking friends too!
The real reason for why you can't stand upendra's acting is because you are jealous!
You won't really gain anything by saying kannada films come least in the south by not seeing one.

[Oldposts]

Ramadasan, I admire your guts and gumption when you give numbers of national awards won by Kannada movies, that too by comparing them to Malayalam movies! You seem to have an affinity towards anything that's sleazy and porn. That's why you think of "porn" when you hear "Malayalam movies". I'm not blaming you. It's all about tastes. Now to the "7 awards which Kannada movies have won". Dude, check these numbers. Mammootty (Best Actor three times). Mohanlal (Best Actor two times; Jury's Special Award once). Other winners(I'm just giving the list of people who have won the Best Actor statuette. I don't want to make this posting so very exhaustive): Balan K. Nair, P J Antony, Balachandra Menon, Suresh Gopi, Gopi, Kalabhavan Mani(Jury's Special Award). Which means actors in Malayalam alone(forget movies, actresses, supporting artistes, directors, cinematographers and other technicians) have won 12 awards. Do I need to say more? Please, don't bring awards and stuff into this. If you do that, all the three other language films would look like pigmies. Ramadasan, it's nice to hear a Tamilian say "our Kannada movies". I hope people in both the states follow your example. But I wouldn't like people to follow your tastes and be dumb enough to say that "Muthina Haara" is better than any Mal. movie. I really wish that this discussion forum had that Laughing Our Loud smiley, like they have in chats. :)) And Kannada, why should I be "jealous" of someone who doesn't even exist in my scheme of things? You don't expect me, who has always admired but never envied, men like Mohanlal, Rajnikant, Amitabh Bachchan, Mammootty and Kamal Haasan, to be jealous of someonelike, pray, Upendra! Do you? He's just an actor, like all the other men I mentioned. I don't owe them anything. I pay money to see them. If they are good, I'll say that. If they aren't, I'll say that too. As simple as that.

[Oldposts]

Look arjun right now, upendra is not my favorite actor.
I promise i don't know, but how many times have Dr Rajkumar won his national award, state award.[one actor not actors for your kind information] Do you know actress Prema [she acted in tamil film Devi] You might not know her but she or her 2nd or 3rd film won a national award.Anu Prabahakar also also won a express award.

Look Looser, you can't judge some people [well in the hell you are not judgeing people but us you don't hsve any idea about our awards or our achievements because you really don't know.
By the way i don't love Upendra, i can never stand his words but they have some good sense of humor for like seconds that's all. i never meant to compare him to your Perfect stars that matches you very well. Now about Amitabh Bachchan he hosts a remake show " kaun banega karorepati" thats a hit all over India what do you call that as? This is the fact that whole India doesn't know of.
People who do remakes are not pigmies, O.K well if they are you know what i am going to say!!!!!
NOW IT IS A BIG LOL [LAUGH OUT LOUD] or whatever
i have a question for you "What kannada movies have you seen?"
Another favor for me Arjun, see Kannada films that are not remakes and judge them as you usually do?/

Mr Ramdhasan you are really one of my best friends!! I wish kannadigas and tamilians would make a union one day. You could be their inspiration.

Why kannadigas dont watch kannada movies?
Is it because they make only art movies (which are considered high in quality than commercial)
I dont think so? Ravichandran, Upendra, Shivrajkumar dont make art movie.
They just remake commercial movies made in Tamil and telugu. So if I make A by copying from B I must admit that B is better. In that argument Tamil movies are better.
Number of remakes from Tamil to kannada are much higher than kannada to tamil ( 10: 1).

If you see number of awards so far won by kannada cinema, it will be more than Tamil but much less than Bengali or Malayalam. In that Case

Bengali, Malayalam , Kannada movies are good
Hindi, Tamil, Telugu are commercially successful.
Period.
Among Hindi/Tamil/Telugu There are more good quality tamil films.

My 2 cents guys. If you find any history on national awards please post it here. (with link)

Good Brain Protam
What are you doing in a KANNADA forum if TAMIL movies are better?
Kannadigas don't watch kannada movies because there are tamil movies screened in B'lore more than kannada movies. It is a Bandwagon to watch tamil movies. Just becuase everyone does watch them doesn't mean they are perfect. there are few films that became a hit. Why? Amruthavarshini [saw that and came here Om,A,shabdhavedhi,habba etc were hits were'nt they? What do you mean by Commercial movies. Do you know how to speak kannada? Oh do you speak Begali..

[Oldposts]

Mr. Kannada

>>I promise i don't know, but how many times have >>Dr Rajkumar won his national award, state award

in this state award only to ppl who act in kannada movies, or the state picture. you cannot count in the national level. As states does not have a award called foreign state picture award. cd you come out with exact statistics,

[Oldposts]

Kannada,
Why would more tamil movies released in Bangalore, a place controlled by kannadigas unless tamil movies are better in quality?
Dont give few movies as hits. count the number of hits. Do u think tamil movies are hit only because of the tamil minority community there?

[Oldposts]

I think, instead of getting hurt by the statements, we should sit and think where it went wrong. We should be open to the truth. I am not a kannadiga, but i live in banglore since 5yrs.

I think, the producers shd make movies, such a way, that make not only kannadigas, but other state ppl also to sit and watch.

The qn. arise how to make that. There is no harm in coping, but select the film to copy, and how to copy. egs. Kuruthipunal and Nayakan (even though the base theme is godfather they changed it according to indian condition ). I mean to say, instead of blindly imitating others, they shd come out with films that has got mannin mana/ touch of land or naturality.

What u think guys

[Oldposts]

I agree with both of you. You both are right. I am not saying Non-Kannada movies are bad or kannada movies are perfect. You know what i din't know kannada movies are full of remakes{51%]. But poorGuy you are right Producers are so after money. I think what they are doing is releasing a tamil movie and duubbing it into kannada for money as remakes work very well. The serial may be you have heard it "Parvathi" people who didn't even know kannada were watching it!! And Protam tamilians are not minorities in Bang'l there are a lot of people. May be we mail kannada producer chambers and tell them what we feel and what they can do!!! they might take that into consideration. I am a kannadiga i don't know if you both are. are you willing to help me????

[Oldposts]

Kannada,
I am not a kannadiga. I just thought what I felt about kannada movies. In your view Kannada movies should be revamped, I agree with you.
My point was it is not tamil movie's fault
After all I see only 3 tamil movies screened in bangalore now (from some website).

[Oldposts]

Protam,
I totally agree that it is not tamil movies fault or tamilians, it is our fault to let down ourselves. Kannada Movies are may be not so good as other language films but kannada movies are not worst.
However,
how many tamil movies are are screened in KARNARTAKA?
How many shows are there for each films and compare that to kannada movies?
Not only tamil movies, how about telugu, hindi films??/?

Hello guys,
I too am a great movie buff like all u guys and an ardent follower of Kannada movies. I have a great database and songs collection and am waiting for DVD's to be released in Kannada. Great Kannada movies which can impress any person on earth are Nagara havu, Amritha varshini, OM, A, Upendra, Mutthina Haara, Suprabhatha and the list goes on. I agree that Kannada is not top in commercial hits mainly because of the lack of glamour and music. But we shud be glad that there's not a single movie in Kannada which is dubbed from other languages. Many remakes are there( ihope u know the diff) but i must agree that Kannada is the only language in which movie making quality deteriorated as time passed by though its picking up recently.

Some time back i saw on kannad movie in tv,

cast was Anant NAg. ( pretty kool guy)

the movie had this different approach of a girl calling a guy, and throwing a challenging of finding who she is, and guessing about her .

She would on and off, give clues about her dresses, whereabouts etc. She dies in the climax (cause of some ailment) and the m ovie is WITHOUT A HEROINE!

TOO GRIPPING AND GOOD.

I forgot the movie name!

[Oldposts]

Till the end, anant nag, does not meet her, and when he finds about her, she is dead, her face closed. He sadly refuses to see her face, and walks away quietly, saying she would remain as ANON in my mind always!

The scenes where we feel, may be his friend (a guy ) does the prank, etc or

The guesses which the audience is bound to make kis amazing! GRIPPING

the other famous directos in kannada are: Late Puttanna Kangal, T.S.Naghabharana(got national awrd for this year, movie"Singaravva"), T.N.Seetharam, K.V.Raju, etc...

hello mr.harish


u said that kannada fims are remakes
actors themselves have come from tamilnadu

u haven't seen the original kannada fims of uppi alias upendra
films like A and upendra{name of the movie} are imaginary films which is powerful enough for anybody
ur tamil film DUM which was recently relased and became a hit is the remake of APPU
the heroine is a kannadiga
AK47 an old film was remade into tamil with saikumar in it
many devotional films like naga panchami,vijaya dashami,kalikaamba are remade from kannada.
kannada theaters have only a major drawback.no proper theaters and no viewers away from karnataka

I am finding it really difficult to understand if you guys are in favor of Kannada movies (also Kannadigas) or against them after going through the critics in the forum..I am living in the US for the last 2.5 years and am dying to see a new good Kannada movie..But voila, the Indian stores here dont carry many Kannada movies and the ones they have are of the 80s..They said hardly anyone asks for Kannada movies..But in comparison Telugu movies are released on DVDs even before their release in theaters in India..Its such a tragedy for the Kannada film industry and we Kannadigas in the US..Why dont you guys just critic on the new Kannada movies (rather than degrading actors & actresses from other languages) and try putting up some new downloadable Kannada movies on the net..Its really a very big favor for us Kannadigas in the US...Think about it...

I am a Malu living in Bangalore since my birth... I used to watch Kannada films, till the early 90's... I stopped watching since then due to the complete drop in Technical Quality or Story Quality...

If I could pinpoint a turning point, I would say 1987, the Year Prema LOka & Avale Nanna Hendathi released... the success of these 2 movies misguided the Kannada cine industry to take the wrong road from where it has so far not escaped... baring the occasional Beladingala Baale, Uthkarsha, Udhbava, Ganeshana Madhuve, Nishkarsha, Upendra, A, Sh, Om, Tharka, etc... there is hardly anything nice... in a year hardly 2 or 3 decent movies....

Kannada movies is stuck in a timewrap that is 20 years old... Kannada used to produce some of the best movies in the 70s and early 80s... but failed to grow as time passed...

Most of my fav Kannada directors have passed away, Puttnna (All his movies were meaningful and great) and Shankar Nag (A genious who died young). In today's Kannada movies I feel only Sunil Kumar Desai, Rajendra Singh Babu and Upendra (though he is not directing recently) have the talent and creativity to try out new things.


Taking for example comedy in Kannada, is still very primitive and hardly anyone has attempted to deviate baring a few movies like Ganeshana Maduve...

The other south indian languages have made tremendous progress, Malayalam from mid-80's till 2000 developed in terms of quality and content... Tamil since late 90ss has shown signs of progress... same telugu too...

Even today, I wouldnt miss a chance to watch Kannada movies like Nagarahavu (old), Geetha (for Jotheyali and the other songs, my all time favs), Minchina Vootta, Padavarahalli Pandavaru, etc...

Anyway, I hope that Kannada movies come out of this slumber and rise to its deserved position at the top of the quality index.

Raghu some good points raised in your post.

But one cannot agree to the assertion that Tamil films have bettered in late 90s!!!!!!
The tamil quality zenith might be late 70s to early 80s.

Bulls-Eye !!! But ater eighties also we got many good movies.Especially in the 90's technical qualities and production values increased to a great extent.In fact even today in terms of technical quality and production values , tamil movies lead and set standard for rest of India.

Kannada movies of the 70s and 80s were good mainly due to the quality of music (songs). That too largely because of SPBSubramanyam giving sincere renditions.
Thematically and technically hardly one odd excellent film was there in a year.

Bhavana shifts base to Mumbai.Actress Bhavana has said she is shifting base to Mumbai as there is no money in kannada cinema and no good roles.Another beauty leaves the kannadiga beggars to seek better pastures.ROTFL.Previously she went to Kollywood and told that " I am wiling to do anything for tamils" , but she was used and fuc***ked up and sent back with hardly a penny in her pocket...No she is going to try in Mumbai.Self-respecting kannadigas must hang themselves by the nearest ...you know what...but obviously they don't even realise this statement of hers is a slap on their face.

I basically belong to Madras, but I watch tamil, hindi, malayalam, kannada, telugu and english movies. I am sorry to say but Kannada movies are the worst. I don't consider upendra, ravichandran as actors. Moreover all the Kannada movies and music are copied from some other language, lacking originality always.

Well the movie Geetha is composed by Illayaraja, tamil music director and thats why songs like Jotheyali are still popular. Over all Kannada movies lack quality, individuality and originality. The whole industry is a dwarf when compared to the tamil or hindi industry. I saw so many Kannada movies and heard so many songs but sorry to say 99% of what i heard was copied from some other language, story or music.

[Oldposts]

it is not that if someone leaves the industry they have no good roles for them and there is no mony in the industry. more over kannada filmdom is like a univercity many of them like rajini,anil kapoor,arjun,nassruddin shah, madavan,mani rathnam,ilyaraja,all worked first in kannada and then moved on to other film ind,ustry.all the fil industry is using the talents of kannada industry harish you said thers is no mony in industry but this year more than 100 moveis had been realesed ,can you give the number in other language, geetha film is not composed by illyaraja only music was given by him,the direction of the movie made the songs popular and shankar nag in its director have you seen shankar nag's malgudy days ,see it then you will know what is sandel wood . you beggars are eating what we eat and left desgining and putting some masala and colour on them and have grown to such a height to speak about us . kannada movies remakes songs and story i agree but do you know the condition of othes film industry in 80&70's first wash your back then say to others to wash their face ,you uncivilized peaple.

Kicha, I am sorry to say in 70's and 80's tamil industry had very good actors like Shivaji ganesan, better than any body in India. U cannot argue on that. Do U know about Chandrababu who dies because of excess smoking and drinking. He was a comedy actor who could sing and dance very well other than composing music and writing very good lyrics. Well U know os Kamal Hassan's Standard of acting and do u have any body atleast close to that in Kannda. What about A.R.Rahman and Illayaraja. Illayaraja is from TN and his first music was for tamil and not Kannada. Where as Mani Rathnam also a tamilian directed his debut with Kannada movie which was a big flop.

Rajini is basically a Maharashtrian, Shivaji Rao being the original name and was born in Kolhapur. Please be careful when U quote facts and figures. what ever you try to argue facts are facts and truth is always bitter. Some times truth is stranger than fiction. Tell me how many movies are remade or dubbed from Kannaada where as see the reverse which is going on for a long period of time.

Did U know that JEANS movie was initially banned to be released in Bangalore, lots of protests from Karnataka cine industry thinking that JEANS will sink kannada movie industry in to waters. They delayed it in releasing but it was inevitable.

Well, the movie Geetha may have been directed by shankar Nag but music was composed by Illayaraja. Music is composed and released months before the movie is released. You don't need to see the song picturisation to like the song. I have never seen Geetha nor have seen the picturization of Jothey ali jothe song. But still thats my favorite song. Not only his music but SPB and Janaki voices also play a very good part. Picturization has not much significant importance for music to be hit.

I am also sorry to say actors like Upendra and Amaresh not only can't act but they don't have the looks to be a hero. The whole Kannada movie industry is going from bad to worst.

[Oldposts]

Kannada is no way less national than hindi.Infact Kannada is older than hindi and we were the original inhabitants of India.You don't have to be a part of India to be an Indian.Even if we secede and become separate we still remain Indians.However ,I am not saying that we should separate.A kannadiga who does not know Hindi is also an Indian.A hindi knowing kannadiga may not be so patriotic and may spend his time in discos and dancing.But a kannadiga who does not know hindi may fight well for Bharat Mata.

[Oldposts]

Fu**ker Kiccha , TN gets more aid and help from central government than Karnataka.Central Govt always favoured TN over Karnataka.Thats bcos Tamil Nadu is a rich state and conributing to national economy.So they are more patriotic than kannadigas.Central Govt does not mind tamils not knowing hindi as they contribute to the nation.They would prefer tamils to kannadigas who don't contribute anything to their country other than speaking in fluent hindi.

[Oldposts]

After all this conversation, I am really pumped up to see the Jothey Ali(Geeta)music video picturization. Any one having that pls mail me or try to help in showing the website where I can see that song. If U have then you can place it in ur website and mail me the same. I tried the movie casette here in USA but it is very tough getting Kannada movies here, leave alone Geetha.

[Oldposts]

hi,
bumped in to this site while searching for something on the net. Seems lot of unnecessary mud slinging going on here. :-)

Putaraj,
who is this Ilayaraaja u r talking abt? Is it the same guy who started his movie career as assistant to G K Venkatesh, guy who was music director for so many kannada movies?

http://www.raajangahm.com/irbio.html (http://www.raajangahm.com/irbio.html
)

Kamal, definitely great actor. I saw one of his movies called "Maria My Darling". Guys, i am sorry if that sounds like one of those porno Mallu movies. Its not a porno movie, but is worse than that. The movie sucked great time. Unfortunately Kannda had no super talented actor to act in such dumbo movie like that & thats why probably Kamal acted in that movie.

Sivaji? he is definitely a thespian. For all his talent, all he could get in Kannada movies was, a measly 2 minute role in that national award winning (not because of Sivaji though) kannada movie "School Master". With 2-3 dialogues that he had to deliver in that movie, Sivaji successfully murdered our "Kasturi Kannada" by rendering them very badly. Hindi speaking actor Prithviraj Kapoor rendered his Kannada dialogues in movie "Sakshatkara" with more precision than Sivaji did it in "School Master". For a hindi speaking person getting hold of a south indian language is very difficult. But Sivaji being a south indian himself, shouldnt have had had any difficulty in rendering 2-3 dialogues of just another south indian language. What a shame, he couldnt do even that. This being the case I wouldnt definitely argue about his acting capabilities. I am already convinced of his acting capabilities. I guess Sivaji can do with some lessons from Prithviraj Kapoor. Pantulu had crafted such a master piece in "School Master", that my heart goes for him when I see many scenes from that movie are straightaway lifted by a recent hindi movie like "Baghban".

Tamil movies are only remade in kannada. They are not dubbed like they do in Tamil. Tamil ppl just pick kannada movies and dub it in to tamil. Just to name one, remember movie called "Relax" starring Madhavan and abbas? wasnt it a dubbed movie?? and everybody thought dubbed movies was a stone age phenomena. Is tamil industry in its formative years that they still make dubbed movies???

Uppi and ambarish surely dont have looks to be heroes when compared to the most handsome of all Greek Gods on this entire earth like Vijaykanth, Prabhu (please excuse those barrel like tummies though), Rajani, Vijay, Prabhu Deva etc etc.

Kannada movies are definitely the worst of the lot. Reason? U said it: because they are all copied from Tamil !!

I have listed out above points just to prove that however good an artist/film industry is, he/it will have his/its downside also. No artist/film industry is perfect. It applies to both Tamil and Kannada industries and other industries also. I do have great respect for Sivaji and Kamal and others. But, yes they are not perfect, nobody is. They had their share of goof ups too!!

all said and done, we have to agree that in todays date, there are more number of tamil movies being made in kannada, however good or bad they are. But that definitely doesnt mean that there are no good original kannada movies coming out. There definitely are directors in kannada who have been consistently making some good original movies. Rajendrasing Babu is one of the most prolific directors. He has made every kind of movie a director can make. Be it romance(Bandhana, Mutthina Haara), adventure(Nagara Hole), action-thriller(antha), comedy(kurigalu saar kurigalu and two other on the same line) etc. Desai is one director whom u should never miss. He gave us this out of the world movie called "Beladingala Baale" with other memorable ones like Tarka, Nishkarsha, Nammoora Mandara Hoove etc. This movie was originally a novel by Yandamuri, one of the best of telugu writers. Yandamuri is also a movie director by himself and has directed movies like "Stuartpuram Police Station" starring bigwigs like Chiranjivi and Vijayashanti. Yandamuri himself had said that "Beladingala Baale" can not be made as movie and had dropped the idea. But Desai had the guts to pick up the story and make a movie out of it, that too a hit at that. Other directors worth watching are Nagatihalli, Kasaravalli, Uppi, Manohar, Mahendar, Om Prakash etc. One name I found missing in the discussion thread was that of T S Nagabharana. C'mon guys!!! how can u forget the guy who gave us movies like Akasmika, Chinnari Muttha, Janumada Jodi, Mysore Mallige, Nagamandala etc. Here is a guy who gave us undoubtedly the biggest hit song of kannada film industry "Huttidare Kannada Nadalli". His movies are technically very good, artistically made commercial movies. I hope in days to come, Kannada industry will see more and more good movies and directors because it is said "When all else is lost, there still is hope".

Sherin and Sakshi usually act in Telugu movies rather than Kannada movies.Sakshi especially acts/acted maninly in telugu movies.She dominated there quite a lot of time.The reason is , kannadigas are beggars.They cant pay decent money to actors.So they leave for the rich telugu industry.

OK.I wasjust telling facts thats all.Nothing to do with your posts.

[Oldposts]

thanks.....rather than pix i was enquiring. i would prefer film titles more, espwcially the name of Sherin's kannada film(s).
can i also just ask a few more questions, please
do they show Hindi, Tamil, telugu and english films regularly in karnataka?bangalore? i ask bcs i assume tamil and hindi films are banned. I read telugu films are more popular than other language films in karnataka and vice versa...is this true? i see ads in tamil paper that shows Hollywood films released in Madras with tamil dubbing. does this happen in karnataka with kannada dubbing?
i ask out of curiosity. (pls dont start any arguements using my enquiries)

[Oldposts]

Raju,
I am not sure about Sakshi's movies or Sherin's movies list. I suggest u do a GOOGLE, u would definitely get some sites.

As for ur questions, here u go.

They show movies of all languages in Karnataka. Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and English movies are regularly screened in Karnataka.Visit www.onlinebangalore.com to get details of different movies screened in B'lore city. I am not sure as to what made u think that Tamil and Hindi movies are banned in Karnataka. To keep u informed, let me tell u that they are not banned. Just that there are some halls that show only English movies or only Tamil movies and so on. However, all over Karnataka it is Kannada movies that rule the roost. Couple of districts in South Karnataka do show Tamil and Telugu movies as much as kannada movies. The kind of movies shown in an area mostly depend on the local population's language. That being the case, its Kannada which is main language in most part of Karnataka, so Kannada movies get screened every where in Karnataka in more number than other languages.

When it comes to Telugu movies, yes they are definitely gaining popularity. It all started with telugu movie "Gharana Mogudu", a remake of Rajkumar's kannada movie "anuraaga aralitu". Though the movie had butchered the concept and story of the original movie, it had some wonderful songs, dances and action scenes of Chiranjeevi. The movie had high production values, and was hugely successful in Karnataka. With this started stream of Telugu movies in to Karnataka. Lot of movies started being screened all over Karnataka even in those places where there were hardly any Telugu speaking people. The movies were being watched by people Mainly because of their music, dances, action scenes and high production values, rather than stories. However in recent times few Telugu movies like "Nuvve Kaavaali", "Jayam" etc made it big mainly due to good stories, songs and presentation.

Tamil movies had similar trend with the release of "Roja", but the trend died after couple of movies. Now their screening is mostly restricted to places in Karnataka that are adjacent to Tamil Nadu and Bangalore. But telugu movies are still going strong all over Karnataka.

In todays date, Telugu movies are far ahead of Tamil or Malayalam movies in Karnataka when it comes to being screened. However they definitely are behind Hindi movies. In mid and north Karnataka, Tamil movies are hardly screened. In my native in north Karnataka, I remember only one tamil movie (Roja) being screened in last 14 years, where as u can get to see a telugu movie at most time of the year. :-)
as for dubbed movies, Hollywood movies are not dubbed in to Kannada. For that matter hardly any dubbed movies are shown in Karnataka. Probably Kannadigas dont mind watching any other language movies in their originality unlike their counterparts elsewhere in South India. he he...... Just kidding guys. Please dont take it seriously. :-) Telugu and Tamil industries are considerably bigger and also there is wide viewership for them. Probably its for that wide viewership, that they go ahead and dub Hollywood movies into Tamil or Telugu.

Illayaraja may have worked for Kannada music director as assistant, so what do U want to infer. Sishya overtaking Guru.

Harish....not what u thinking. i think sherin wasbrill in thulluvatho ilamai and justcant believe she has no films and am glad to be a fan.

kannadada...thanks for the info. i got a bus to mangalore from Goa and when i got to the border i remember i had left my passport under the bed in Goa. me and my friend booked into a hotel and i went on the bus all the way back, got my passport and then all the way back to M'lore!!! my friend just spent the time at a beach and she said it was a fine beach and the town was good. we saw a film (we had a policy of seeing a film every other night while backpacking through south india) and we saw a kannada film. all i know is that raajkumar and geetha was in it. he was a singer etc.. he hotel couldnt tell us the name of the film so i dont know.

another Q... are telugu and kannada similar. the writing looks similar.

[Oldposts]

Yes.A good many words are in use in both languages.One who knows kannada can easily learn telugu and vice versa.We also have good relationship with each other.The scripts are also similar.In fact they are almost identical.

kannada movies are really good and meaningful, only some 25% are masala movies in a year, we people give importance to story and acting rather than gimmick and cigarrate styles, dr.rajkumar is one of the best actor in the world because nobody has done as variety of rolles as him like bond , historical, social, villain,folk,sad,action,romance etc,not even kamal or rajini or sivaji or ntr etc,

now the actors to be noted are upendra, ravichandran, sivarajkumar,punith rajkumar and ofcourse old lion vishnuvardahn

[Oldposts]

The latest few movies did well.Some new faces were introduced.

[Jom]

I am a Malayalee who has spent my entire life here in Bangalore... I have loved kannada films till the 80s... that was when Kannada movies were shining... Tamil & telugu were mostly all masala & melodrama... Each and every Puttanna Kanagal films were great... many themes were tried out... great talents were brought out... Though I am a fan of Dr.Rajkumar's acting especially in those natural roles not the melodramatic ones and certainly a hard core fan of his singing... but Shankar Nag, Vishnuvardhan, Ambhareesh, Ananth Nag, etc are top class actors... their earlier films really brought their talent out but later on all of them got TYPE cast into images which restricted their growth as actors...

But unfortunately the present situation in Kannada films is very poor... hardly any original stories are being made... 80% movies being made are remakes... taking the last 4 months as a small sample
Apthamithra - Ramake of 1993 Mal film Manichithrathazhu
Sahukara - Remake of Thenmavin Kombathu... which was made as Muthu..
Maurya - remake of a Telugu film which was later made into tamil as M Kumaran son of Mahalakshmi
Nalla - A mix of various Tamil films like Moonram Pirai
Tring Tring - Ramji Rao Speaking / Hera Pheri
Jeshta - Remake of Valyetan...
Joke Falls - Remake of a old 70s Hindi film

Most of Upendra's recent films... Before Omkara were all remakes... which is the most tragic part, as Uppi seems to have tremendous talent as proved by his early films like Sh, Om, etc... he is one talent that should not be wasted on crappy remakes...

This really is poor, there is so much that can be derived from Karnataka culture it self that these film makers are failing to capture... its only when film makers draw from a languages cultural heritage that good films will be made... unfortunately the Kannada film makers are taking a SHORT cut by remaing other language films...

Anyway, I really hope that the real talents emerge and bring back Kannada films to its rightful place at the top of Indian cinema

[bangalorean]

I like the post from the guy above me. He makes good sense. I love Kannada. Again, I am a Mallu.

I love my Bangalore and I am proud to be born in this land :).My only complaint is maraya, there are no kannada movie websites where you can download movies :(.

Hi everybody. Like all of you I am also looking for my Kannada Movies. I am from a very much remote village called Jogfalls. I was educated compltely in Dharwad and now in Ireland.

I like Dr. Raj's Old movies from which I learnt many values of being human. I want to find them over net. One thing if anyone has friends in India you can ask them to get some Movie CD on rent and put them on www.coolgoose.com. From there every one can access them. I have downloaded many Kannada Songs and keep listening to them always.

I love Songs by S. Janaki. Some times I shed tears when I listen to her songs like Kangalu Tumbiralu.... This you can download from www.coolgoose.com. For that you should register for free.

Jai Kannadamma
