Challenging
Star
Darshan,
as
he
is
called
by
his
fans,
has
delivered
a
number
of
hits
in
his
career
like
Sarathi,
Bul
Bul,
Kranthi
Veera,
Sangolli
Rayanna
and
many
more.
But
there
are
a
few
movies
of
Darshan,
which
released
without
much
expectations
or
had
a
low
key
release
but
turned
out
to
be
the
biggest
hits.
Not
all
heroes
have
delivered
hits
when
they
were
not
expected
to,
may
be
Darshan
is
one
of
the
very
few
stars
who
has
been
surprising
his
detractors
from
day
one.
Let's
see
the
movies
which
we
are
talking
about
and
why
we
think
so.
Dasa
This
was
the
second
outing
for
Darshan
and
PN
Sathya,
who
had
made
super
successful
debuts
with
Majestic
but
there
were
not
much
expectations
around
this
project.
It
had
a
low
key
release
but
thanks
to
the
masses,
the
movie
turned
out
to
be
the
biggest
grosser
of
2003.
The
movie
did
record
business
and
was
highest
in
Challenging
Star's
career
at
that
point
of
time.
Kalasipalya
Kalasipalya
was
made
by
the
top
producer
Ramu,
director
Om
Prakash
Rao
and
top
star
Darshan,
the
movie
had
decent
buzz
around
it.
The
movie
did
excellent
business
and
rewrote
all
the
records
of
Darshan
and
this
success
pushed
Darshan
to
the
top
league.
With
this
movie,
Darshan
became
a
synonym
for
action
and
mass
movies.
Not
to
forget,
Rakshitha
was
the
Crazy
Queen
hereafter,
and
Darshan-Rakshitha
pair
became
a
rage.
Gaja
Gaja
was
a
based
on
a
Telugu
Movie
which
was
a
family
entertainer,
not
what
fans
would
expect
from
Mass
Hero
Darshan
and
was
being
directed
by
debutant
Madesh.
This
movie
which
released
for
Sankranthi
turned
out
to
be
a
perfect
movie
for
families
in
the
festive
season
and
ended
up
as
the
biggest
grosser
of
2008.
The
audiences
ratified
Darshan's
presence
in
the
top
league
with
this
blockbuster.
Sarathi
The
movie
had
the
successful
combination
of
Thoogudeepa
brothers
Darshan
and
Dinakar,
but
just
when
the
movie
was
about
to
release,
Darshan
could
not
promote
the
movie
or
attend
any
promotional
events.
The
release
of
the
movie
was
doubtful
because
of
financial
problems
and
there
were
hardly
any
ads
in
leading
publications
on
the
release
date.
Despite
no
publicity
and
promotions,
the
movie
became
one
of
the
biggest
hits
of
Kannada
Film
Industry.
After
success
of
Sarathi,
there
was
no
looking
back
for
Darshan,
who
moved
to
the
top
position
in
the
industry.
Jaggu
Dada
This
movie
came
after
three
bad
outings
of
Challenging
Star
and
movie
was
directed
by
a
debutant,
so
the
expectations
were
not
really
high
for
this
movie.
Detractors
expected
this
to
be
another
failure
but
the
Challenging
Star
surprised
us
with
his
cynics
with
blockbuster
opening.
The
movie
was
appreciated
by
fans
and
critics
liked
the
movie
as
well,
which
helped
the
movie
to
gross
over
12
Crores
in
the
opening
weekend.
The
movie
is
on
its
way
to
be
a
much
needed
hit,
for
Challenging
Star
Darshan.
With
Darshan
back
to
the
success
track,
we
expect
him
to
continue
giving
us
good
and
successful
films
which
is
very
much
required
to
any
industry.
We
end
this
by
congratulating
Challenging
Star
Darshan
on
the
success
of
Jaggu
Dada.
