When the audiences are still enjoying movies like Sundaranga Jaana and Kirik Party, which released a week or two ago, here comes the first Friday of 2017 with two notable releases.

Srikanta starring Sandalwood Shivanna, Chandini and Vijay Raghavendra is the first release this week. Directed by Manju Swaraj and produced by Manu Gowda under his banner Mahashaila Cinibandha.

Srikanta Pushpaka Vimana

Killing Veerappan was the first release in 2016 and even 2017 will be kick-started by Shivanna. Unlike Killing Veerappan which released with good buzz, Srikanta is being released with low buzz and reason for this is the low-key promotions by the makers.

But as we have seen in the past, buzz or no buzz, Shivanna's films are bound to take good openings. So makers of Srikanta would be praying for the same magic to happen.

The film is being released in over 180 theaters throughout the state. NM Entertainment and Mangalmurti films are releasing the film throughout the state. Prominent distributors like Shankara Enterprises and NG Chandrappa are releasing the film in a few regions.

Pushpaka Vimana is the second prominent release this week. The film which started off silently, later got good mileage because of it being Ramesh Aravind's 100th film. Expectations only increased after songs and trailers were launched.

The team promises an emotional ride of a father and daughter. Also teasers and trailers released so far promise excellent visuals from Bhuvan and BGM from Charan Raj, apart from noteworthy performances from Ramesh, Rachitha and Yuvika.

The film is being released throughout the state by CK Cine Creations in association with Thoogudepa who released Neer Dose last year. The makers have planned for limited release in around 50 theaters. They intend to increase the theater count once the film gets positive responses.

Let's wish good luck to the teams of Srikanta and Pushpaka Vimana. We hope Pushpaka Vimana turns out to be memorable film for Ramesh Aravind who has entertained audience from the last few decades.
