Crazy Kutumba - Interesting kannada movie

Crazy Kutumba kannada film is about a family of seven riding in an autorickshaw from Belgaum to Bangalore for a talent show. It sounds similar to hollywood movie "Little Miss Sunshine". And the fact is it is true. The new Ramesh Aravind-Anant Nag starrer Crazy Kutumba is inspired by the Marathi film De Dhakka which in turn was inspired by the 2006 Hollywood movie.

Instead of a minibus in which the American family travels to get their little girl to participate in a beauty pageant, the Crazy family will take to an auto rickshaw. The journey will start in Belgaum and end in Bangalore. In reality, the auto itself will be carried in a truck!!!. The seven members of the Crazy Kutumba are Anant Nag as the drunk grandfather, Ramesh Aravind as a mechanic, Sana as his wife, child artiste Dhanya as the the aspiring Bharatanatyam dancer, Chindodi Veerashanker, Chindodi Vijayakumar and Harish. Rajinikanth will play the role of the auto thief.

Dhanya is a standard IV student in the City’s Kumaran School and has been studying Bharatanatyam for sometime now. This will be the 51st film as director for B Ramamurthy and first film as producer for Ravi Joshi, who is also brotherin-law to Ramesh Aravind.

Ricky Kej will be composing new kannada tunes for three popular songs. Coincidentally each song has been written by a poet. Kuvempu’s Nade Munde Nade Munde..., K S Narashima Swamy’s Hendati Obbalu Maneyolagiddare... and H S Venkatesh Murthy’s Amma Naanu devaraane Benne Kaddilla... are the three songs. The only new lyrics for the film are written by Jayanth Kaikini.

Kannada actor Ramesh gets busy

With two of his kannada films being launched the same day, the kannada actor-director has a lot on his hands these days.




For Nammura Mandara Hoove Ramesh Aravind shaved off his moustache. For his new kannada film Duru Guttu, Ondu Sullu, Ondu Nija, the actor has grown handlebar whiskers.

After wrapping up two films in 20 days flat, director Dinesh Baboo will take another 20 days to shoot Duru Guttu.... He has also written the story, screenplay and dialogues for the film, and will handle the camera for it. Another of Ramesh’s untitled new film is a remake of Malayalam film Chandralekha.

Sarita Jain (of Machcha) is its leading lady. The mahurats of both the films was held on June 9.

After he took to directing films, it has been only one film at a time for Ramesh in the last couple of years. But now there is a bonanza awaiting his fans as he has just completed dubbing for his friend Mohan’s Krishna Nee Lateaagi Baa. A film to be directed by Ramesh himself is likely to go on floors after the two new films.

Kannada Movie Review - Venkata In Sankata

The fun starts now

DIRECTOR: Ramesh Aravind
ACTORS: Ramesh Aravind, Devdas,Kapikad, Sharmila Mandre



Finally, a kannada film that can be confidently categorised as wholesome entertainer. Kannada actor and director Ramesh wins hands down as a director, actor and for bringing together the perfect cast for a non-stop laugh riot. This Pink Panther style police comedy manages to depict believable characters.

Venkata (Ramesh Aravind) is a daredevil cop but one who is always unlucky in getting the credit for his good work . His junior (Devdas as Laddu) snags the promotions while Venkata is demoted, each time. One day, Venkata gets a chance to prove his mettle against a terrorist group which is sourcing lethal chemicals from a college. He poses as a student to uncover the goings-on and that results in some unusual, funny incidents.

Then there are the made-tomake you-laugh characters like the gluttonous old woman played by veteran kannda comedian Umesh, a fake godman, a group of naughty students and fumbling lecturers who are in perfect sync with the story. The highlights of the film are the quirky dialogues and the swift narrative.

There are a few unconvincing situations like the one where the Prime Minister attends a college’s anniversary celebrations in what looks like a television show set. But, in the mad rush of comic situations these are easily excused. Forget everything and join the fun.

Kannada comedian Umesh's Sex Change

Kannada movie Venkata In Sankata has the veteran actor playing a woman.

After 50 years as a kanada film actor, Umesh is donning the clothes of a woman. He will appear as grandmother to kannada actor Ramesh Aravind in Venkata In Sankata. The idea was the brainchild of Ramesh who apart from being the lead actor is also the director of the film. “In these five decades, I was never offered such a role. But I did not find it too difficult. I am 64 and I was playing my age, albeit that of a woman. The difficult part was the dubbing. I had to practise a bit to speak like an old woman. I am happy with what I have done,” said Umesh.

Umesh took to professional theatre when he was just four years old. A decade later he started acting in films as a child artiste. Over the decades he has acted in hundreds of films. He has worked with three generations of filmmakers but considers the role in Venkata In Sankata as a one-off.

Ramesh Aravind is a cop in his 4th kannada film

The talented actor and director of Kannada cinema, Ramesh Aravind has taken up his fourth film for direction that is not titled yet.
The kannda film will be another laugh riot like the Rama Shama Bhama in which he is playing the role of a cop. There are two heroines for this film.
The earlier film directions of Ramesh Aravind Rama Shama Bhama starring Dr.Kamal Hassan, Satyavan Savitri a comedy flick and Accident a taut thriller were made with lot of intelligence.
Sinema House a corporate company in Bangalore has evinced interest in producing the film with Ramesh Aravind this time. Rickey Kej who created a sensation from his debut Kannada film 'Accident' is scoring the music and highly talented PKH Das is the cameraman.

Kannda actor Ramesh drops Kuselan

Kannada actor, director Ramesh Aravind always comes up with some really cool concepts in his films. Which is why he even agreed to remake Kuselan in Kannada, when the makers of the film approached him to direct it in Kannada. “But now, we’ve decided to junk it as Kuselan hasn’t been received well,” the actor informs us. So he’s begun scripting an action cum comic flick, which he will be making for a corporate house. Meanwhile, when Ramesh isn’t working on his film, he’s watching the latest films. “I want to watch Bachna Ae Haseeno; and only for Ranbir Kapoor,” he says
