there will be no change in my image . i will not do another film like this for some years .
in a bid to avenge the defeat , the british plan another attack and by deceit they capture kittur and chennamma . the queen is taken in as a prisoner of war and thus rayanna is also held . soon after rayanna is out , he begins to build his own army with all and sundry to recapture kittur and reinstall chennamma on the throne .

the british play a foul game in conveying to chennamma that rayanna is killed . chennamma is unable to believe but the british provide her with a concocted proof . chennamma breathes her last in the prison . chennamma ' s death puts paid to rayanna ' s struggle to build an army to fight the british . but his friends and erstwhile force him to change his mind .

to be the most expensive ( 30 crore ) kannada film to date , and one of the highest grossing film ( 55 crore ) in the history of kannada cinema . the highest grossing kannada movie is mungaru male , collecting 75 crores in its 1 year theatrical run .
kvsr is a film that makes you proud of being a kannadiga and an indian . in that way the making of the film and its grandeur reminds you of classic films like moghul e azam , mangal pandey , alluri seetharama raju , veera pandya kattabomman and jodha akbar . kvsr does not have a dull moment and every technical work in the film places it on the top of the list . the camera work , backgound music , song picturisations , editing , art work , costumes and make up work all add up to provide a realistic touch to the film . and the two gems of the film are the two war sequences which are not only breath taking but also wonderfully choreographed .

the film was earlier rumoured to be a remake of malayalam hit film udayananu tharam and was also rumoured to be having shades of rajkumar starrer katari veera which was released back in 1966 . however , in a press meet upendra denied all the rumours and said that his version is completely fresh and has no links with the above mentioned films whatsoever . producer munirathna , who was once the main reason behind the banning of actress nikita thukral had approached her to do an item number dance for this film . nikita had turned down the offer . [ 4 ] upendra had earlier titled this film as yamendra upendra and sadhu kokila had to direct this film . however due to several reasons , suresh krishna was roped in to direct it finally . a single song in the film has three actresses ; suman ranganath , ramanito choudary and rishika singh .
sudeep - nagashekhar together for a film ? in other development , sudeep is reportedly being approached by nagashekhar for a film on the hoysala king . the director , whose masthi gudi is getting ready for the release , is doing extensive research on the subject . the multilingual film will be made with a budget of rs 60 crore , keeping kiccha ' s market in mind . but sudeep is yet to give his consent .
the film had a lot of comical and entertaining elements , including the scenes where sharan and tabala nani play two touts involved in selling cars .
the film boosted komal ' s career as an actor and pushed its director pavan wadeyar , a protege of yogaraj bhat , into the limelight .
this is a must watch for all indians if they are looking for a patriotic movie . if you know kannada the movie will bring tears in your eyes . the movie is based on real story of 1800 ' s india ' s fight against the british and is very well projected . great acting by darshan as sangolli ryanna and superb direction . some facts about sangolli rayanna : he was inteestinglt born on 15th august and died on 26th january . he was a prominent warrior from chittor ( karnataka , india ) . the british army had to find a cunning way to capture him and then sentenced him as cowards . even the great chennamma was killed by the british by lying to her that rayanna was dead . she killed herself by consuming poison . a banyan tree is planted with some of his ashes and the tree is very well grown toady . the district is now called as
belgaum
. a big salute the great warrior from karnataka !
filming for muniratna ' s kurukshetra is going on in ramoji film city , hyderabad and sonu sood is expected to join the sets at the earliest .
katari veera suruasundarangi was the second highest grossing kannada film of 2012 and was declared as a ' super hit ' . [ 1 ] [ 1 ]
once pre - production work is over , the crew plans to shoot the film at ramoji film city in hyderabad where baahubali 1 and 2 were shot . the sets will be similar to those used in baahubali and sample clips have been already shot . the kannada film ' s budget may not be a match to baahubali 2 , touted to have been produced at a cost of rs 250 crore , but muniratna said money isn ' t a constraint .
anand appugol ' s kranti veera sangolli raayanna directed by naganna starring challenging star darshan is a fantastic , extravagant presentation with mindblowing technical work and awesome performances from many artists . it is certainly the best work of darshan , director naganna and writer keshav adithya so far .
the film is also likely to get a free run with no major releases during the next one or two weeks even after the festival holidays are over .
also , i had to recall the earlier scenes to get into the flow . i was there all the 185 days of the film ' s shoot .
co - incidentally , rayanna was born on august 15 and he died on january 26 . who would have expected the movie to release on november 1 , kannada rajyothsava day ? there were so many co - incidences during the making as well .
the film was in the making for more than a year . it introduced dhruva sarja , nephew of arjun sarja , in the lead role opposite radhika pandit .
we had ss rajamouli creating a buzz with talk of such a production , and even having discussions with aamir khan . now we hear v a shrikumar menon will be directing indian cinema’s most expensive film randamoozham ( mahabharata in other languages ) starring mohanlal . sandalwood is not far behind with kurukshetra , which will now be darshan’s 50th film .
kannada actress umashree won a best actress national award for the movie gulabi talkies in 2009 . the film also screened at osian ' s cinefan festival of asian and arab cinema and won three awards : best film in indian competition , best actress in indian competition ( umashree ) , and best actor in indian competition ( vinay bm ) .
dr . rajkumar and dr . vishnuvardhan from then are considered the two pillars of the kannada film industry . they both have been very instrumental in shaping the kannada identity .
the dialogues , where keshavaditya ( who has done a splendid job otherwise ) has taken some freedom , also take his role to a different level history can still be altered , you see . darshan’s character , though a far cry from his mass - driven roles , begs to be elevated to that exalted level genuine heroes are placed upon . however , the pace of the film which is nearly three hours long doesn’t let anyone sit still . so absorbing is the screenplay , flaws and all , that it is only towards the climax , that one begins to see that the story is sagging . however , while some may be offended the way rayanna’s end is picturised , the attempt to humanise and depict reality should also be appreciated . sangolli rayanna clicks in many ways and not just due to its dialogues , that border on jingoism sometimes . harikrishna’s background score obscures yeshovardhan’s tunes . ramesh babu’s camerawork is adequate . palani raj and ravivarma’s action choreography is well planned and executed . deepu s kumar’s work is exemplary .
ku ra seetharama sastry (
kurasi
) was an actor , film director , lyricist , and screen playwright from the mid - forties through the late seventies . kurasi introduced several artists to kannada film industry , including shivaram ( beratha jeeva ) and shakthi prasad ( karaga shakti , father of kannada , telugu & tamil actor / director arjun ) .
meanwhile , sudeep ' s hebbuli has completed its 50 - day run in theatres . the film is still going strong and has become one of the biggest hits in his career .
the kannada film industry reported a success rate of about 14 to 15 per cent with returns on investment being less than half of the rs 250 crore that was invested during the year .
jayapradha played the role of rani chennamma while darshan played her trusted lieutenant . the film was directed by naganna , had splendid camerawork by ramesh babu , and superb background music by harikrishna .
' s story who is the army chief of kittur in rani chennamma ' s kingdom . the film starts with chennamma raising a banner of revolt against the british as she refuses to pay tax to the british government . the british get slighted over chennamma and they decide to attack kittur with all their might . rayanna awaits orders from his queen mother to attack but is forced to keep mum until the british launch an attack . the british get defeated in the battle that follows .
katari veera surasundarangi received mostly positive reviews . oneindia praised the technical aspect of the film by saying ,
upendra and ramya ' s katari veera surasundarangi is the biggest - ever 3d film made in kannada till date . katari veera surasundarangi is technically astounding and visually arrests the audience . kannadigas , who have not seen 3d sandalwood film in the last two decades , will be thrilled to experience the joy of watching the film in this format
. [ 10 ] rediff terms the film as a clear winner :
katari veera sura sundaraangi is a winner all the way . it will do for kannada cinema what avatar did for hollywood . producer munirathna naidu needs to be commended for investing in a 3d film and pioneering it in kannada cinema . just forget the story . watch it with your 3d glasses on and be entertained !
. chitraloka too gave the movie a positive review ,
kataari veera sura sundaraangi engulfs you with rich production values , grandeur when it gets started . later it is uppi who takes over the reigns to entertain , enlighten and educate the audience with his dialogues and superb dialogue delivery .
[ 11 ]
darshan will be collaborating with naganna for kurukshetra , inspired by mahabharatha , while sudeep is likely to team up with nagashekhar for a film based on the life and times of hoyasala king vishnuvardhana .
after a long time , a period drama has got its casting right . avinash , shashi kumar , rajesh , umashri , shivakumar , saurav , srinivasamurthy , ramesh bhat – all try to outdo each other . poor nikitha is reduced to just a one - song ( wholly unnecessary ) wonder . she is conveniently cast aside and is almost forgotten . why bring her on board then ? darshan shows good improvement but is yet to overcome his diction impediment . ultimately , sangolli rayanna is one man’s passion realised with equal determination by others . that passion , in this case , is easily transferred to the viewer and set the cash box ringing . kudos keshavaditya and team .
child actor kishan shrikanth became the youngest director of a professionally made feature film in the world ( guinness book of world records ) by directind c / o footpath at 9 years in kannada which won him the best children ' s film national award in 2007 , two karnataka state awards and 11 international awards from countries including italy , spain , greece , egypt , qatar , iran , usa and uk .
a 3d mythological romantic fantasy film , it was partly a sequel to rakta kanneeru . it was also the first full length 3d film in kannada cinema . upendra reprises his role of the highly educated rich - man turned beggar mohan now in hell , who meets his look alike gangster son ( upendra again ) who is killed in a gang war . the film tells the story of how mohan s son upendra falls in love with lord indra ' s daughter indraja ( ramya ) in indraloka ( heaven ) and how he faces the challenges of lord brahma , lord yama and other devatas of indraloka to marry indraja . [ 2 ]
the film that stars ' challenging star ' of kannada cinema , darshan in the brave warrior ' s role has grossed more than rs 6 crore in the first five days of its release at the box - office .
it would have been a different story had i considered this movie as another commercial movie . i am happy that a producer like apugol came forward to do such a film and i am part of such a big project .
the trailers of kataari veera sura sundaraangi which were shown in the single screen theaters and multipelxes across karnataka aroused lot of appreciation among the audience . meanwhile , upendra , ramya and munirathna actively promoted the film . [ 5 ]
previously , sonu sood had worked with kichcha sudeep in the film , vishnuvardhana . he had won accolades for his portrayal of an antagonist . now , the same actor is getting to work alongside some of the biggest names of sandalwood .
darshan has delivered a power - packed performance from the word go . he has truly lived up to the role of a patriotic warrior who stirs the emotions of his villagers . nikitha thukral who plays mallamma and rayanna ' s love interest disappears after a song and dance sequence never to return in the second half . she is completely forgotten and her absence is not justified in any way .
sandalwood stars are pushing the boundaries by taking up challenging roles . after darshan gave nod to mega - budget film mahabharatha , his on - screen rival sudeep has reportedly shown interest in a historical subject based on the life and times of king vishnuvardhana .

“mythological themes are going to be the trend next year , with at least two big movies lined up . the atmosphere is going to be buoyant and it is a smart move on the part of kannada producers to ride on this wave and produce mythological movies , “ said k puttaswamy , film historian and analyst .
b . v . karanth ' s chomana dudi ( an evocative film on caste distinctions ) , girish karnad ' s kaadu and girish kasaravalli ' s ghatashraddha spearheaded the kannada parallel cinema . vamshavruksha , prema karanth ' s phaniyamma , kadu kudure , hamsageethe , accident , akramana , mooru dhaarigalu , tabarana kathe , bannadha vesha and puttanna kanagal ' s naagarahaavu were some of the important movies of this era . dr . vishnuvardhan and dr . ambareesh were the two stars born from the film naagarahaavu . dr . vishnuvardhan went on to become a super star of south india acting in 220 films in 5 main languages of the country .
the fact remains that out of rs 30 crore being collected , the net share for the producer is roughly around rs 18 to 20 crore . which means the film would do a good business in next 20 days and will add on to collection . the collections of challenging star darshan previous best was ' sarathi ' .
there were speculations that kurukshetra will be a multi - starrer with most of the top sandalwood stars in it . but it turns out that though an ensemble cast is being roped in , darshan will play the protagonist . while duryodhana is the villain in the original epic , the film will narrate the epic from that character’s perspective .
both sati sulochana and bhakta dhruva were major successes . sati sulochana was shot in kolhapur at the chatrapathi studio ; most filming , sound recording , and post - production was done in chennai . it was difficult to find financial backing for new film projects in the region , thus very few movies in kannada were released during the early years of indian sound cinema .
kannada cinema celebrated its 75 - year anniversary in 2009 . a function was held on the palace grounds in bangalore on 1 march 2009 under the direction of v . ravichandran , featuring a set resembling an open - winged bird . it was attended by many stars from kannada cinema as well as actors from other film industries who had a stint in kannada films .
even during the making , the film drew the attention of stars from other industries . bollywood actors sunil shetty , mithun chakraborty , jayaprada and tamil star karthik visited the shooting after the makers used seven cameras at a time . 3d stereoscopic solutions were given by epic studios . stereoscopic director of the 3d effects was jeemon and stereosgrapher was k . p nambiathiri . sound design and final mixing of the movie done by renjith viswanathan .

kvsr may well go down in history as one of the best historical films made in kannada which can stand up in comparison with well made historical films like kiththoor chennamma . director naganna has ensured that the film has enough commercial elements to engage the mass audience and has some heart touching sentimental sequences which can strike an emotional chord with family audience . the huge production values apart , excellent performances by artists starting from darshan to even artists who play smaller roles have put in their best efforts .

darshan perfectly suits the role with his body language and dialogue in north karnataka accent coming out very well . he shows tremondous commitment in carrying off the role of a patriot . the film will certainly go down as the best in his career . it will certainly be a treat to watch him mouthing patirotic dialogues and indulging in guerilla warfare against the oppressive british rule . jayaprada puts in best efforts to carry off her role of kiththoor chennamma . though nikitha has a brief role , she is impressive . the performances from veterans like sreenivasa murthy , doddanna , shobharaj , ramesh bhat , shashi kumar and sourav are really very good .
the 1970s and the 1980s are often considered to be the golden age of kannada cinema . it was also the period that witnessed the birth of alternate cinema or parallel cinema . kannada cinema spearheaded the parallel cinema movement in india along with hindi , bengali and malayalam cinemas . dr . rajkumar had already acquired demigod status in karnataka by then . rajkumar concentrated only on kannada and confined himself to the kannada film industry until his last movie , shabdavedhi . it is because of his passion for kannada films that he ruled kfi as its undisputed leader from 1954 - 2006 . he is considered the greatest actor that kannada cinema has seen mainly because of the ease with which he enacted historical , mythological , social , adventurous and comedic roles .
the kannada film industry managed to generate several blockbusters in the first decade of the new millennium . the new millennium saw the release of dr . rajkumar ' s last movie , shabdavedhi , which ran for a packed 175 days across the state . the movie ' s run was interrupted by veerapan ' s kidnapping of rajkumar . dr . rajkumar was held captive for 108 days , after which he was released . during this time the state of karnataka was on a string of bandhs and protests . the industry suffered heavy losses with the demise of superstars dr . rajkumar and dr . vishnuvardhan . the passing of other kfi actors like tiger prabhakar , k . s . ashwath and vajramuni also gave a huge setback to the industry .
the story thinly revolves around power shortage aptly freshened up by ample doses of action , comedy and love . viraat prasad ( darshan ) is a businessman who wants to provide a solution to the existing power problem and in consultation with the chief minister , a role played by suhasini , he plans to build a thermal power project . enter surendra singh ( ravi shankar ) , an opportunist , who tries to distract the chief minister and take over the project . but the project is handed over to viraat which does not go down well with singh . balancing the friction and the action is romance involving three ladies - keerthi ( chaitra chandranath ) , spoorthi ( vidisha srivastava ) and preethi ( isha chawla ) , who are head over heels for viraat , but the latter chooses one among them , managing to maintain his friendship with the other two . how does he handle singh and the thermal project and who does he select as his love runs in parallel and forms the crux of the film .

fter missing many dates and deadlines , this much - awaited historical biopic has got a befitting thunderous opening on kannada rajyotsava day , today .
directed by naganna , which is also one of the costliest kannada films ever made in the history for its grandeur and production values , has lived up to its expectation despite a few flaws .
yashovardhan ' s music is a let - down although the background score is good . ramesh babu ' s camera work is good especially in the war scenes . the war scenes have been shot well in rajasthan .
the climax is quite touching and it appeals to your patriotic motives . though director naganna could have done away with at least 25 - 30 minutes of footage , it still manages to keep you engaged which is quite an achievement . there are a few flaws in documenting the period .

spending most of its 110 minute run time in a prison , the film takes advantage of an intriguing story to keep the momentum going . the game of cat and mouse that takes place for most of the film , but unfortunately not all , is what makes escape plan as good as it is . it is the final act where , despite a solid plot twist , things turn into a run of the mill action piece .

escape plan is a dumb , but satisfying , theatrical equivalent to any recent direct - to - video actioner featuring above the line talent that used to be known for their star power . as for the film’s leads , i think it’s safe to say the “star power” of sylvester stallone and arnold schwarzenegger ‘s is looking quite dim as of late as i’m sure even they would admit escape plan is no substitute for the myriad of solid films these two churned out 20 - 30 years ago . it is , however , their aging personas that give audiences familiar with their classic work any reason to see this movie , as one slow motion shot of arnold just before he lays waste to an onslaught of prison guards becomes the film’s signature moment .
the first film also starred jim caviezel , curtis “50 cent” jackson , vinnie jones , vincent d’onofrio and amy ryan .

it’s got me and sylvester stallone in it , yeah ! ( laughs ) i can tell you this . it’s completely different than escape plan one .

the arnold schwarzenegger one liner is an international institution that was sorely missed from cinemas for many years , due to their purveyor ' s political ambitions . a few quips during his expendables cameos may have procured a nostalgic smirk or two , but escape plan serves up several gems - including a contender for the finest arnie one liner yet .
considering the degree to which slavish fan service has come to dominate the development process for genre pics , it’s amazing that no one managed to load ‘80s action gods sylvester stallone and arnold schwarzenegger into a true co - starring vehicle until now . with that in mind , the highest compliment one can pay “escape plan” is that [ … ]
based on the book by paul brickhill , the great escape is the true story of allied prisoners plotting to break out of nazi detention camp . bartlett ( richard attenborough ) is the british officer who masterminds the escape . out of 250 prisoners , only 76 manage to escape , and the number soon dwindles to two dozen . hilts ( steve mcqueen ) and company must get through nazi occupied territory , which is the premise for most of the film . mcqueen rides a motorcycle through heavy gunfire in a spectacular action sequence to avoid certain death at the hands of the enemy . james garner , donald pleasence , charles bronson and james coburn also star in this exciting , suspenseful action adventure . although he had appeared in other previous film , this is the one that brought superstar status to steve mcqueen . the handsome , brooding actor performed all his own stunts in the action sequences in the type of action adventure film that became mcqueen ' s trademark .
the first bit of news is the rather shocking overseas performance of lionsgate ' s escape plan . the stallone / schwarzenegger prison break adventure pretty much tanked in america , earning just $ 24 million . but overseas tells a different story , where the film has earned just under $ 100 million , including $ 40 million in china alone . now on paper we ' re still looking at a $ 122 million gross for a $ 70 million budgeted film , but the various rights were divided up accordingly , with certain parties funding respective chunks of the cost , to the point where a number of participants made money on their investment while others did not .
considering the degree to which slavish fan service has come to dominate the development process for genre pics , it’s amazing that no one managed to load ‘80s action gods sylvester stallone and arnold schwarzenegger into a true co - starring vehicle until now . with that in mind , the highest compliment one can pay “ escape plan ” is that this prison - break actioner plays much like the kind of film the two might have made in their heyday , albeit with far more scripted downtime for its sexagenarian stars . mercifully free of tongue - in - cheek meta - humor , “ escape plan ” is a likably lunkheaded meat - and - potatoes brawler that never pretends to be more sophisticated than it is , and though “expendables” - level b . o . numbers will be out of reach , genre fans and international auds should lap it up .
but , what about an eight - minute film ? that’s the average length of our film club features , and these short documentary films do much more than just entertain . they challenge assumptions and offer new perspectives . they tell stories that often remain hidden , and introduce us to people and places foreign to us .
former california governor arnold schwarzenegger and hardcore gun - control advocate sylvester stallone have teamed up once again , this time for mikael håfström ‘s jailbreak movie escape plan . the film is a vehicle for two legendary action stars to relive their days of vanquishing foes and dropping hot one - liners . “you hit like a vegetarian ! ” schwarzenegger spits at stallone as their characters tussle . but this action flick ( written by miles chapman and jason keller ) is also severely critical of military contractors , indefinite detention , solitary confinement , and private prison companies . in fact , the real villain of the movie is the for - profit prison industry . on top of this , escape plan presents a vigorous rejection of post - 9 / 11 , anti - muslim fear - mongering . call it shoot - ’em - up liberal escapism , if you will .
it ' s thus all the more comforting that the film does what it sets out to do with enough quality that it can at least be considered satisfactory .

escape plan follows ray breslin ( stallone ) who is the world’s foremost authority on structural security . he’s analyzed every high security prison and has gained a vast array of survival skills . but all ray’s ingenuity and knowledge are about to be put to work in the most challenging test he’s ever faced : escaping from the master prison of his own design .
it was a mild surprise when we learned sylvester stallone was going to star in an escape plan sequel . mikael håfström ‘s light thriller underperformed in the states , making only around $ 25 million , but it made over $ 100 million overseas . it was enough of an international hit to bring back everybody’s favorite escape artist , ray breslin ( stallone ) , back for another round . stallone is in good company with the sequel , too , as he’s now being joined by dave bautista ( guardians of the galaxy ) .

the effervescent energy of escape plan defies those who wrote off the abilities of its stars to cut the muscular mustard in today ' s youth - orientated cultural climate . these supposedly old dogs have plenty of life - but their effectiveness relies on the foundation of a smart script that plays to their strengths and the audience ' s perception of their star personas .
the most badass moment of escape plan has nothing to do with schwarzenegger or stallone ; the best part of the movie is the last stand of javed ( faran tahir ) , the devoutly religious leader of the muslim prison gang . sometime in the middle of the film , javed becomes a loyal ally and friend of breslin and rottmayer . he is honorable , smart , courageous , and self - sacrificing . during their grand escape , javed takes a bullet to the gut . he orders rottmayer to leave him behind . following their emotional farewell , javed grabs his two pistols and proceeds to singlehandedly eliminate a small army of blackwater wannabes . it’s the movie’s most memorable sequence of close quarters combat .
escape plan didn ' t do great business in america , but thanks to the international box office it ended up making a tidy profit . that’s why the film has led to a surprise franchise , with stallone returning to front both the second and third entries . schwarzenegger won’t be involved in either movie , but stallone’s guardians of the galaxy vol . 2 costar dave bautista has signed on for both sequels . 50 cent will also be reprising his role for both movies as hush , the world’s ( least convincing ) computer nerd .
