Why there is no discussion on KANNAda movies? Amritavarshini is a very good movie recently. WHAt do you think?
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.
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.
'Beladingale bale' was one good movie. Was this inspired by some hollywood stuff?
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.
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!!!!!
Cram,
yes it was miles ahead of other Indian junk. Do you know who the director was?
no idea rr,
only know that anant nag starred in it.
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.
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?
Isn't it Upendra?
Beladingala Bale was copied from an english movie
"KNIGHT MOVES" starring Christopher lambert, Tom skeritt ( A murder mystery )
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.
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.
'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..
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.
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?
Marudu,
I think "Thayi Saheba" is a movie by Girish Kasaravalli released two/three years back..
kasaravalli made Ghatashradhha, Mane (terrific movie starring Naseeruddin Shah, Deepti Naval and Rohini Hattangadi) and Kraurya (before Thayee Saheba).
Are there any kannada films running around boston area
Are there good kannada movies running around los angeles area
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
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
I know of one kannada movie "Sharapanchara" starring Kalpana. Its a pretty good movie where the theme is mental illness
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
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.
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.
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!!!!!!!!
just a correction..

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!!

Hai,
I love kannada.
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.
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...
Can somebody please tell me where I can buy/rent
Kannada casettes/DVD's in US ?
