GAANA BAJANA - New Kannada film review

• DIRECTOR: Prashanth Raj
• ACTORS : Tharun Chandra, Radhika Pandit, Dilip Raj, Sharan, CR Simha, Yeshwanth Sirdeshpande


There is a superstition in the kannada film industry -if someone’s lucky for you, use them till they turn unlukcy! Looks like Prashanth, director of kannada film Gaana Bajana (Free download Gana bajana songs here), is following that dictum. He’s repeated the three main actors from his debut kannada film Love Guru. Not only that, even the characters in Gaana Bajana seems similar to Love Guru. Deja vu! However, the film scores in style. With youngsters as his target audience, Prashanth keeps the film fast-paced enough to keep them glued.



It's a simple love story. Two youngsters, Krish (Tharun) and Radhe (Radhika Pandit) fall in love and the relationship develops at the usual city hangouts. There is Dilip Raj playing a dandy who gives the film a fillip every time he is on screen. Radhe initially rejects Krish because she loves the other guy. The premise is mundane. But the stylish presentation somehow makes you want to tolerate the film, which lacks in substance. Gaana Bajana is entertaining for the sake of being entertaining.



Joshua Sridhar's music, which remains 'inspired', is the highlight of the film. Shekar's camerawork allows Prashanth what he wanted, an avant-garde Kannada production. Take a break from the serious stuff and enjoy this kannada film.

Kannada actres Radhika Pandit bags puneet's next kannada film

Crazy Star Ravichandran seems to be Puneet Raj Kumar's lucky mascot when it comes to launching his films. Right from Puneet's first film Appu to the recently released Jackie he has been the chosen one.
It was no surprise when he was invited for Puneet's new kannada film which was launched recently at Kanteerava studios, Bangalore. The movie is yet to be titled, which is a remake of hit film nadodigal. Many top signatories of the film industry including Mr.Basanth Kumar Patil President of KFCC and many leading artists attended the muhurath.



Shivaraj Kumar, brother of Puneet and Mrs Parvathamma Raj Kumar were there to bless the new project which is a remake of the trend setting Tamil film Nadodigal. Radhika Pandith, Loose Mada star Yogish, Srinagara Kitty are playing other major roles in the kannada movie.

This is the 79th film of Vajreshwari Combines, Dr. Raj's family banner. It is being directed by K Madesha, music is by V Harikrishna and Sathya Hegde is wielding the camera.

Kannada film Mylari music controversy

The posters of kannada film Mylari, the 99th film of Shiva Rajkumar, seem to have a bug. The posters mention either Ashwini Audio or Anand Audio as the company through which the kannada film's music is available. The film’s audio was launched recently and Mohan Chabria of Anand Audio had said that the film had sold a record number of audio units before its theatrical release.



The presence of Ashwini Audio’s name on the posters is due to a business arrangement that was not kept. Ashwini Audio’s Ram Prasad owned the title Mylari, the rights to which he had steadfastly refused to give. That failed to deter the film's director R Chandru and producer Srinivas from using the title during any promotional activity. Ram Prasad had even complained to the Film Chamber about it. Finally, the good offices of Shiva Rajkumar and Ram Prasad’s brother Krishna Prasad solved the dispute.

As a peace offering, Ram Prasad was promised the audio rights of the film. But the understanding did not come to fruition as the audio rights were sold to Anand Audio. “It is not easy recovering money on big films. So we let it go,” says Krishna Prasad, prefering not to comment on the news that the audio rights were given to a rival company without his knowledge. The posters carrying the Ashwini Audio logo are the relics of this earlier understanding.



“It was their (Ashwini) film and I didn’t think it would come to me in my wldest dreams. Ashwini gave me a no-objection certificate but they did not reveal the reason and I did not ask. As for the name and logo on the posters, buyers really do not bother or worry about it. They do not ask why a particular film's music has not been released by a particular audio company. If that was the case there would be no piracy,” said Mohan Chabria.

Upendra's new kannada film super

Like the picture says, please squint, overlap the two images and find a third image jumping out at you. That’s what you need to do to view the 3D poster of Uppi’s latest kannada film super. Because the man doesn’t go by the usual print ads, posters and TV interviews. And trust the Real Star to come up with an innovative promotional tactic every couple of months in the run-up to his kannada film’s release.



After the hand symbol and the unique ad that called for upcoming talent to feature in his kannada film, the latest are 3D posters of his film featuring leading lady Nayanthara and him. “It’s the concept that conveys the theme of my movie. Just like the images, there are two tracks in my film that have a common link leading to a third story,” explains Upendra. And the idea behind it, he reveals, is to educate audiences about the subject of the story in a unique way rather than just talking about it. And his entire team was involved in the making of the poster. “Since the title Super was also suggested by the audience — which they arrived at after getting a dekko at the hand symbol — I felt they’d be able to figure out the storyline through this 3D image,” he tells us.

But he’s been so secretive about the subject of his film all this while. “Ella vishaya helidre cinema nodo maja yelli? The audience will not feel special when they watch this kannada film,” he reasons. But the Real Star promises that Super will have all the elements of a full-on entertainer — including love, revenge, mast dialogues and even foot-tapping music — like all his previous directorials. “Most of all, our film is based on comedy and sarcasm,” he reveals. The actor plans to hold the audio release of the film in the first week of November and release the film later that month.

Kannada beauty Nidhi interview and pictures

Trrrr. Recognised that? Kannada film PanchaRangi fans would immediately relate it to Nidhi Subbaiah’s character in the Yogaraj Bhat film. “In fact, many people have told me that they loved my role, especially the ‘Trrrr’ dialogue,” says Nidhi, who’s thrilled with the success of the film, which recently celebrated 50 days at the BO.



The Coorg lass admits that until now, no director has been able to tap her real talent. “I was unrecognised until Pancha Rangi happened. My true potential was tapped in this kannada film. The audience got a glimpse into my acting skills and discovered that I too could be a wholesome artiste,” she tells us.



And life has changed a lot for her since Pancha Rangi’s release. “People look at me differently now. They’ve realised that I not only have the acting chops, but also the ability to groove,” she says.
She’s all praise for her director Yogaraj Bhat. “It’s every heroine’s dream to work with him. He’s a class apart. Yog sir functions in a different way, just like one of those new-age directors. He gets the best out of you without you realising it. Another thing is that he’d write the dialogues on the spot. He’d gauge you as a person and write the dialogues accordingly. That’s the kind of genius he is,” states Nidhi. Nidhi’s on-screen chemistry with her co-star kannada actor Diganth (see also biography, age, family photo) has drawn much praise.



 The actress tells us that he’s exactly like his Pancha Rangi character in real life. “Totally chilled out. I thought that since he’s worked with Yog sir in so many movies, he’d have a bit of an attitude, the ‘I’ve worked with this team so many times’ kind. But he’s so humble and chilled out. He doesn’t interfere with your shots or hair and make-up. I’ve worked with heroes who poked their nose into everything. Diganth minds his business and I did the same on the sets,” she reveals. Her current project Veera Bahu sees her play a traditional Iyengar girl. “A complete turnaround from the shorts-sporting girl of Pancha Rangi. I’m just like an S Mahendar heroine — wise, calm and with strong values,” explains the actress, who’s happy she got to be part of a “real action sequence”, replete with bullets, gundas and “me running in a saree”. “And when I’m not shooting, I chill at home or spend time with friends. I have friends in the industry, but I don’t discuss work with them,” she wraps up.

Kannada comedy actor Komal as woman in vaare vah

The kannada comedy actor has done Aamir’s ardhanareeshwara act, which the B-town star did for a satellite TV ad in his forthcoming kannada film Vaare Vah.



Here comes a confession from director Vijaylakshmi Singh. Apparently, the hero of her upcoming film Vaare Vah, Komal, “is a man with a woman’s heart”. “And gradually, he becomes so sensitive to the needs and feelings of women that he’s able to understand them even more than they know themselves,” adds Vijaylakshmi. The director is talking about Komal’s character in Vaare Vah, a movie that we hear is based on the Mel Gibson-starrer What Women Want. That’s why Komal’s posed as a woman in the posters of the film, which Vijaylakshmi says has become a talking point among fans.

Point out to her that not long ago, Aamir Khan was seen essaying a similar part — a half-man, halfwoman — for the promos of a satellite TV, and Vijaylakshmi agrees that the commercial was actually the i n s p i r at i o n b e h i n d Komal’s look. “I really liked the ad and it gelled with our storyline,” she tells us. “Komal’s role in the film is something that hasn’t been experimented with before and he’s done full justice to it. According to the script, he’s supposed to connect with women and tap their inner being. Even though it’s just an act, Komal has impressed us all with his portrayal,” explains Vijaylakshmi.

So as an extension to the act, they asked him if he’d dress up like an ardhanareeshwara, for which Komal was game. “He would sit for his makeover for three hours and uncomplainingly get his hair and make-up done,” she says. Komal adds that even though the act is just a symbolic representation of what he essays in the film, he enjoyed every bit of playing a woman and the attention that came with it.

Amoolya in new kannada film Manasolage

The Cheluvina Chittara girl was the cynosure of all eyes, causing a minor commotion while shooting in Mysore.



Looks like namma Cheluvina Amulya has put the alleged kiss episode behind her and moved on. And good for her, we say. The kannada actress amoolya has also proved her detractors wrong and even put speculation of losing out on fans and her position in the market after the scandal to rest. This, the teenager proved while shooting for a kannada film recently in Mysore.

We hear that kannada actress Amulya caused a mini-stampede while shooting for her latest film, Manasologe. The film’s unit was shooting on Urs Road close to the Chamundi Guest House while the incident occurred. “Film actors and movie sets are a common sight in Mysore as the city has once again become a favourite location for filmmakers,” says our khabru. “But on Monday m o r n i n g , while I was passing by Urs Road with a friend, it was a rather strange sight. People were tripping over each other to get a closer look at the proceedings. On enquiring, I was told that Amulya was shooting for a film. And people were very curious to see her,” he adds.

Director Deepak Urs admits that he was also surprised by the turnout. “It got really tough to control the crowd after a point. Everyone was screaming, “Aishu, Aishu”, which was Amulya’s screen name in Cheluvina Chittara. We’ve seen people whistling in theatres. This is the first time we’ve experienced a volley of whistles when a heroine completed a take,” adds Deepak.

As for Amulya, she’s thrilled with the response she elicited from onlookers. “It’s a high for any artiste when the audience showers you with so much love. And to witness such adulation at my age feels like an achievement. Even when I had come for kannada actress Premism, people showed me the same love,” she says.

Deepak, who’s also her brother, adds that all the bitter incidents are in the past. “A 60-year old man came to me and confessed how his entire household loved Amulya and that he’s happy that she hasn’t been bogged down by the s c a n d a l , ” adds Deepak, who is also prod u c i n g this kannada film.

Is kannada actor Darshan and Nikhita rumour true?

What is cooking between Kannada film industry's leading star Darshan and multilingual actress Nikitha? If a gossip of well circulated Kannada tabloids is to be believed, both Darshan and Nikitha are cosy with each other and got married a few days ago.

Some tabloids have also written kannada actor Darshan has even brought a flat in Mumbai for the glamorous actress who is now busy in Kannada and Tamil films. There were also some rumours circulating that Darshan is slowly moving away from his wife Vijayalakshmi with whom he has been married for five years. The couple has a two year old son.
Darshan has not been reacting to these reports.

The unit members working for the Kannada film Prince which is now being shot in Mysore says that the actor has just laughed at these rumours. This is the first time that he has been linked to any of his co-artists as he has always claimed that he does not involve himself in choosing his heroine and would be happy to work with whom so ever the producer or director chooses.

Nikitha said that the whole thing is funny. The actress said that she has been meeting Vijayalakshmi practically every day on the sets of Prince and both of them are just laughing at these atrocious and baseless rumours. "Three days ago Vijayalakshmi Madam even told me that some more reports may come in a few tabloids. She said that she is not bothered with such rumours. There was a marriage sequence that was shot in Mysore for this film. Director Om Prakash shot the sequence for two days and within a few days I found speculative reports appearing in press that Darshan sir and I are married. It is so ridiculous. Why should these tabloids paint me in the black and spread false rumours. And none of these journalists have talked to me or to any other unit members to ascertain the truth. It is plain silly," says Nikitha.

Nikitha who has worked with Darshan in kannada film Yodha an year ago has signed two films with the actor in the past few months. Prince is the first of these two films and she has also been signed to play the lead in the historical film Sangolli Raayanna directed by Naganna. She has signed another new Kannada film with Ramesh Arvind.

Kannada actress Radhika to star opposite Puneet Rajkumar

Everything is going right for Kannada film industry’s new sensational talent Radhika Pandit. Just last week her kannada film Krishnan Love Story completed a hundred day run establishing her as a dependable actress in the Box office.



A few days ago she won the Best actress Filmfare award for her performance in kannada film Love Guru and was nominated for the same award for the South Scope Cine award. And now the biggest feather in her cap has come about as she has been confirmed as the heroine for Puneet Raj Kumar in the Kannada remake of Tamil Hit Nadodigal which is to be produced under Power Star’s home banner Vajreshwari Combines.

Radhika Pandit has already signed Adhdhoori where she is being paired with Dhruv Sarja. The film is starting its regular shooting from October 4.

Nadodigal will be launched on October 17, Vijayadhashami day. The regular shooting of the film may start from the next day.

Kannada actress Vaishali Kasaravalli: A multifaceted personality

The 58 year old multifaceted personality Vaishali Kasaravalli's death has left a large number of her

friends and kannada fans from theatre, television and kannada film industry devastated. This hugely talented kannada artist, costume designer and director who was known for her amicable behaviour has left behind a huge body of work in all segments of performing arts which stands for
perfection, quality and extraordinary merit.

Vaishali has left behind a much acclaimed National award winning husband, kannada movie director Girish Kasaravalli, daughter and kannda actress Ananya Kasaravalli and son Apoorva Kasaravalli.

Vaishali Kasaravalli was born to theatre enthusiast parents Dr. Chitagopi and Nirmala. She was initiated to theatre by none other than the theatre giant late Dr. B.V.Karanth. After her family migrated to Bengaluru, Vaishali acted in many plays including Hayavadana, Jokumaraswamy, Midsummer Nights Dream, Natakakaarana Shdhaneyalli Aaru Paathragalu and many others. She also directed Sevanthi Prasanga and translated many classic works from Marathi and Hindi.

The transition to kannada films was natural for Vaishali. She was paired with Dr. Vishnuvardhan in Professor Huchchuraya, Hombisilu and many other films. Puttanna Kanagal, Bhotayyana Maga Ayyu, Shankar Guru, Bangarada Panjara and Kittu Puttu are some of her successful kannada films. But it was her performance as the leading lady in Aakramana directed by Girish Kasaravalli which won her laurels and also a state government award for the Best actress.

Later she married Girish Kasaravalli. In kannada films like Ganeshana Maduve, Vaishali outclassed even the leading artists by her comical performance as a cricket enthusiast who is extremely fond of Sachin Tendulkar.

Vaishali was a natural choice for many serials including Maya Mruga and Manvanthara. Namma Nammalli directed by T.S.Nagabharana was the first of the kannada serials she was featured in. Later she worked in Sadhane and the Hindi serial Malgudi Days.

Vaishali took a lot of interest in directing plays and teleserials. She assisted Girish Kasaravalli as a costume designer and even got a National award for her work in Thaayi Sahebha. Then she worked on Moodala Mane which became a popular television serial.

After a long hibernation, actress-director Vaishali Kasaravalli returned to work as a director of a tele serial. The intervening period saw her come out from a near fatal sickness. She continued her winning streak with the tele serial Muththina Thorana.

She won the Nataka Academy award for her contribution to the theatre. Earlier she had won the Karnataka Rajyothsava award and many awards for her performance as an actress and a director of theatre and teleserials.

Vaishali Kasaravalli is one of the most talented creative personalities who has done some extra ordinary work in many segments of performing arts like theatre, films and television. Her death is a big loss to the Kannada film and television industry.
