Last
few
years
have
been
very
good
for
Kannada
Film
Industry
in
terms
of
producing
good
cinema
-
Lucia,
Rangitaranga,
Ugramm
and
Ulidavaru
Kandanthe
to
name
a
few.
A
few
movies
may
not
have
succeeded
at
the
box-office
but
these
are
the
movies
which
will
become
cult
classics
in
the
long
run
and
inspire
the
new
guns
to
make
a
good
movie.
We
are
yet
to
reach
the
middle
of
2016,
but
there
are
already
many
reasons
why
2016
will
be
the
best
year
for
Kannada
Cinema.
We
have
tried
to
list
out
a
few
movies
which
made
every
Kannadiga
proud
and
took
Kannada
cinema
to
new
heights.
U
Turn
Made
by
Pawan
Kumar
of
Lucia
fame,
the
movie
created
buzz
from
the
day
project
was
announced.
It
released
worldwide
last
month,
and
Pawan
succeeded
in
reaching
everyone's
expectations
which
made
this
movie
as
a
super
hit.
At
the
same
time,
movie
was
appreciated
by
critics
all
over
the
world,
for
its
screenplay
and
narration.
U
Turn
has
managed
to
collect
close
to
5
Crores
(worldwide
nett
collection)
till
date
which
is
very
good
and
iterates
the
point
that
good
cinema
has
audience
in
any
part
of
the
world.
It
is
being
remade
in
Telugu
and
Tamil
by
a
well-known
production
house
with
top
Telugu/Tamil
actress
Samantha
playing
the
lead
role,
which
would
be
a
testimonial
for
Pawan
Kumar's
work
in
times
when
our
top
stars
are
remaking
movies
from
Telugu
and
Tamil.
Thithi
The
movie
which
had
non
actors
and
made
by
newcomers
was
not
known
to
Kannada
media,
leave
alone
the
Kannada
audience,
until
movie
was
premiered
and
appreciated
in
Mumbai
Film
Festival
last
year.
The
movie
had
a
theatrical
release
almost
after
a
year
and
undoubtedly,
today
this
is
most
spoken
about
Kannada
movie.
Meanwhile,
movie
went
on
to
win
awards
in
many
international
film
festivals.
Also,
Thithi
was
adjudged
as
the
best
movie
in
both
National
and
State
Awards.
If
this
was
something
less
to
be
proud
of,
bigwigs
of
Bollywood
like
Aamir
Khan,
Irfan
Khan,
Anurag
Kashyap,
Kangana
Ranaut
and
many
other
celebrities
watched
this
classic
at
private
screenings
and
took
to
social
media
to
appreciate
this
gem.
Godhi
Banna
Sadharna
Mykattu
This
Anant
Nag
starrer
was
in
news
from
the
day
project
was
announced.
When
movie
released
earlier
this
month,
movie
surpassed
our
expectations
and
turned
out
to
be
a
very
good
movie.
The
performances
of
all
the
artists
especially
Anant
Nag
and
Vasishta
N
Simha
were
appreciated
unanimously.
The
movie
was
just
released
in
A
Centers
and
responses
have
been
fantabulous
till
date.
In
the
weekends,
it
had
almost
100%
occupancy
in
the
multiplexes
and
in
weekdays,
percentage
is
nothing
less
than
90,
which
is
again
excellent.
One
last
wish
for
fans
would
be,
Anant
Nag
Sir
winning
an
Oscar
for
the
stupefying
performance.
Shivalinga
A
few
may
be
shocked
looking
at
our
fourth
pick,
but
we
have
reasons
why
we
can
be
proud
of
this
movie
and
what
it
did
differently
from
the
other
movies.
Despite
having
a
star
hero
in
the
form
of
Shivanna
and
commercial
director
P
Vasu,
movie
did
not
follow
the
typical
commercial
formula.
Shivalinga
completed
100
days
in
6
theaters
including
4
single
screens
at
a
time
when
it
is
a
big
achievement
for
a
movie,
if
it
completes
a
week
or
two
in
a
theater.
The
movie
was
released
in
other
metropolitan
cities
and
overseas
as
well.
It
garnered
good
responses
in
those
centers
as
well,
proving
once
again
that
at
the
end
of
the
day,
only
content
matters.
Let's
hope
that
this
is
just
a
start,
we
have
many
more
meaningful
and
good
cinema
coming
up
in
Kannada
Film
Industry.
Keep
supporting
good
Kannada
cinema!
