Kannada Movies 2021 First Quarterly Report: Pogaru And Roberrt Bring Audience Back To The Theatres
After a lacklustre 2020 owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, Kannada movies succeeded in bringing back the audiences to the theatres in the first quarter of 2021. Filmmakers breathed a sigh of relief when theatres were allowed to function at full capacity and wasted no time in announcing the release date of their movies.
However, the watershed moment for Sandalwood came with the release of Dhruva Sarja-starrer action drama film, Pogaru in February. The Nanda Kishore directorial unarguably managed to revive the Kannada cinema box office. Pogaru performed exceedingly well at the ticket window and also instilled confidence in several makers as audiences come out to cinemas post COVID-19 lockdown.
This was closely followed by many highly anticipated films releasing on the big screen in quick succession between January and March of 2021. Several films including Darshan-starrer Roberrt enjoyed tremendous success as they were seen striking a chord with the cine-goers.
