Fortuner
Fortuner
was
one
of
the
first
big
budget
Kannada
films
to
release
in
2019.
The
multi-starrer
helmed
by
Manjunath
J
Anivaarya
cast
Diganth,
Sinu
Gowda,
Swathi
Sharma
and
more
in
the
lead
roles.
Though
this
romantic-drama
earned
good
decent
reviews,
it
just
couldn't
impress
the
mass.
Ammana
Mane
Kannada
actor-producer
Raghavendra
Rajkumar
returned
to
cinemas
after
a
hiatus
with
Ammana
Mane,
which
was
dramatically
long.
The
actor
tried
replicating
on-screen,
the
relationship
he
held
with
his
real
mother
Parvathamma.
Raghavendra
Rajkumar
was
highly
appreciated
for
his
brilliant
comeback,
but
the
film
couldn't
do
well
at
the
box
office.
Panchatantra
Kannada
audience
had
high
expectations
from
Yograj
Bhatt's
Panchatantra,
which
released
this
year.
The
film
which
was
specifically
made
with
youth
as
the
target
audience,
wasn't
well-received
by
the
mass
in
general.
After
garnering
a
lot
of
negative
reviews
from
critics,
Panchatantra
experienced
a
massive
fail
at
the
box
office.
99
99,
the
Kannada
remake
of
Tamil
film
96,
starring
Ganesh
and
Bhavana
in
the
lead
released
in
May.
While
the
Tamil
film
turned
out
to
be
a
superhit,
99
did
not
perform
as
well
at
the
box
office.
Nevertheless,
Ganesh
was
praised
for
choosing
a
role
different
from
his
usual
commercial
ones.
Rustum
Two
of
Shivrajkumar's
films
released
in
2019.
In
Kavacha,
he
played
the
role
of
a
visually-impaired
man,
for
which
he
was
highly
appreciated
by
fans
and
critics
alike.
But,
his
latest
release
Rustum
seems
to
have
failed
at
impressing
the
audience.
Though
his
fans
expected
to
see
him
in
an
action-packed
mass
film,
Rustum
wasn't
the
right
choice.
