Kannada Cinema Exposed



Bangalore is one amongst the few cities which happens to have societies which are conscious of art films. Few of the still sustaining film societies which feed this interest of such masses are Suchitra Film Society, Bangalore Film Society, and others in and around Bangalore; aiming at developing awareness and involvement in good cinema.
Juxtaposing stands the Karnataka Film Industry in Bangalore, which should strive to improve the standard of the films produced. Competition especially from Telugu and Tamil films ceases popularity of Kannada cinema for it not being an original and getting stuck up with clichés. Cinema houses in Kempegowda road are few which still remain patriotic towards local films and continue to play them for the audience which demands it.
Late Dr. Rajkumar’s son Punit Rajkumar is one amongst few who gets fan fellowship in legacy. The popularity of recent Kannada actors stands no match to either Tamil or Telugu actors.. Several actors prefer to shift towards neighboring industries which can provide exciting opportunities to hold their dream; seldom prospects such as acting in ‘Original films’.
Karnataka Film Industry can increase taxes of other non-regional films. It can attempt to provide 100 per cent tax exemption to remake Kannada films and simplify rules for granting licences to build cinemas. But the real sport is to compete regardless these obstacles. Wasn’t prohibiting Non-Regional Films being dubbed into Kannada a really important fight for the film industry, since their revenues depends on the remakes of such films? Personally it’s easier to get acquainted by non-regional cinema than to tolerate nuisances of budget being spent on remake. To even stand the struggles let alone rule South Indian film industry, Karnataka Film Industry needs to pull new strings. To begin could experiment with the content and theme of films, to create ‘Original Films’ help?

  1. Ninnindale's plot was very interesting (though it is cliched), it had a few things such as comedy, good dance, and beautiful cinematography and framing which I now miss in Bollywood films. The Fight even though it was a little loud, it was nothing like 'Jai ho' thankfully. No prominent villain to separate the couple and just a light lingering presents of two comedians.
    Punit Rajkumar had this down to earth, calm and serene face. He has this sweet smile playing on his lips for a largest part of the film. I now understand the fan follow-ship. In this film his role was more like Ranbir Kapoor in 'Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani'.
    This was the Third week, Morning 10:30 show, and it was quiet empty.
