Kannada Movies In Theaters This Week (Jan 20)

We are in the third week of the month and we have three notable Kannada releases hitting the screens. The last week's release Lee, was not able to make a mark competing with the slew of big ticket films from other languages.

Other language biggies released last week are still holding a good number of theaters and next week, we have big films from Hindi and Tamil releasing for which the theaters are already reserved. This implies that Kannada films in such theaters are limited to one week.

In such a scenario, three Kannada films - Beautiful Manasugalu, Riktha and Yen Nin Problemmu are releasing throughout the state. Except for Yen Nin Problemmu, makers of other two films have strived hard to get the theaters.

Beautiful Manasugalu marks the return of Lucia pair Sathish and Sruthi. The film based on true incidents in Mangalore, is directed by Jayatheertha. The films's trailer and songs have garnered good responses.

The film is being released through Thoogudeepa Distributions. Distributors managed to get around 80 theaters throughout the state. In Bangalore, the film will be released only in 5-6 theaters and film has got a mere 50 shows in multiplexes.

Riktha is a horror-comedy film starring Sanchari Vijay donning four different roles: a child, a drunkard, a comedian and a lover. The film is directed by debutante Amruth Kumar and produced by G. Arun Kumar.

The movie being released in around 60 theaters throughout the state. Distributors could not get the main theater in KG Road, so Nataraj will be the main theater.

Yen Nin Problemmu featuring the star cast of Thithi, is releasing in around 100 theaters throughout the state. Surprisingly, this film has got the biggest and better theater set-up amongst this week's releases. Mysore Talkies is releasing the film.

We wish good luck to all the teams and let's hope the audiences embrace Kannada movies.
