KANNADA Movies

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.

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.

I AM VERY SORRY I FORGOT TO PROOF READ MY LETS SEE. I SAID "not saying fuc*kking kannada movies are perfect" I MEANT JUST REMAKES. I OWE ALL KANNADIGAS IN HELL AND HEAVEN AND I APOLOGISE.

,SINCERELY YOURS

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)

Many kannadigas wont watch kannada movies in Blore!! Why?

Bengali, Malayalam , Kannada movies got more awards than commercially successful languages.

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..

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,

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?

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

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????
