Kannada film actress Jayamala created history of sorts when she became the only actress in the Indian film industry to be conferred a doctorate for her thesis on the rehabilitation of rural woman in Karnataka.
Rathnaja fails to recreate the magic of Nenapirali in his second directorial venture. Prem looks cute in songs and has worked hard for his role. Hamsalekha delivers good songs, but the film drags forever.
Galipata is witty, pretty and emotional film directed by Yogaraj Bhat. Ganesh rocks in a role tailor made for him. His one liners steal the show.
A high voltage entertainer with good performances from Darshan and Navya Nair. Music is the highlight of this Kannada entertainer. Worth a watch.
Director-actor Prem appears confused in his new Kannada film.
Ee Bhandana has a classy touch. The family story is inspired by a Hollywood hit and has some top performances from lead artists Dr Vishnuvardhan, Anant Nag and Jayaprada. Mano Murthy's music rocks.
Lava Kusha will appeal to the fans of Upendra and Shivaraj Kumar, but it is not a well made entertainer. Director Sai Prakash flaws and Guru Kiran's average music contributes heavily to the film's major minus points.
Weak direction, lack luster performances, contrived plot, bad script make Gunavantha one of the worst films released recently.
To commemorate the fifty years of completion of the state of Karnataka, the government has decided to make documentaries on personalities who have contributed to the political, social, cultural and sports segments of the state.
In a nutshell, though Orata I Love You may not be in the same league as Duniya or Mungaru Male, it certainly is a well-made film with good dialogues, decent performances, scintillating music and good choreography.
Chanda is an above average film, though a lot was expected from it. Vijay's action sequences and S Narayan's flashes of brilliance in direction save the film. Shubha Poonja disappoints.
Ganesha is an entertaining and clean film with competent performances by Jaggesh and Anant Nag. Technically poor, the film however stands out due to its strong narration.
A badly made film with weak script and average music. Only Vijay's fights make impact in this otherwise shabby film.
Telugu film industry's top star Pawan Kalyan and Chiranjeevi's brother has launched a non-governmental organisation named, rather aptly, the Common Man Protection Force
The Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce has decided to suspend Duniya's Vijay, one of Kannada cinema's top stars, for a year for violating the decision of the KFCC's taken on October 25 to dub for the film Chanda directed by S Narayan.
Aa Dinagalu captures the terrifying world of Bangalore Underworld with utmost sincerity and transparency. The film is sensible, frightening, and yet cool. Ilayaraja's camera work and Venu's camera work are the highlights.
Geleya may well appeal to the young and the mass audience. In a nutshell the film is high on technical aspects, but low on content -- a clichd fare with some entertaining moments.
Vinod Raj plays double role in this film with poor technical values and an insipid script. Priya Dikshit is just okay. Director Mudduraj fails once again to make a neat commercial film. If you still prefer to watch it you may enjoy Vinod Raj's action.
Ganesh's new Kannada film Krishna is a simple story well told. Director M D Sridhar has been able to narrate the film in an engaging pace with great dialogues to support.
Ashitha and debutant Dileep Pai shine in this otherwise lacklustre fare directed by much the experienced Sai Prakash. There is not even an iota of freshness in the film.
