Rahul and Ravishankar starrer Jigarthanda is releasing in over 200 screens across Karnataka tomorrow. For Rahul who is just a few films old, the release is as big as that of a big star. The demand for the film from single screen forced a few films that were earlier scheduled to release this Friday to postpone their releases.
The film is also Ravishankar's 50th as an actor. The film's songs have already turned out to be chart toppers and the combination of Rahul and Samyukta Hornad has become a talking point. In KG Road, Majestic, Bhoomika is the main theater for the film

Jigarthanda is one of the best comedy films to come out of Sandalwood in recent times. The film also has the right mix of romance, sentiments and action to make it a complete commercial package. Rahul is back and so is Samyukta Horanadu. Sadhu Kokila and Chikkanna are the torchbearers of comedy. There is also Rakshit Shetty, K Manju and Guruprasad in small roles that add masala. And above all is Ravishankar as the menacing don Armuga (the name of his character in Kempegowda). The story is really about the don and his way of life and his transformation. But you do not realise it is his story till the very end. That is how the screenplay is structured which takes you on a jolly ride for nearly two and a half hours.

The film starts with a reality show and the fight between a producer and director about what is a good film; one that makes money or one that is intellectual. The beneficiary of this is a short-film maker (Rahul) who gets his first feature film to direct. But the producer tells him to make an action film. So he goes in search of a real character. He goes to a small town called Rudrapura which is virtually ruled by the don Armuga. In trying to get information about it, Rahul is himself trapped in the clutches of the don. How he manages to not only escape but also transform the dreaded don is narrated in a fast paced story by the director.

There is superb camera work and brilliant background score and editing. Arjun Janya scores some melodious tunes to match the mood of the film. There is no unnecessary things in the film. But whatever is present is for entertainment. So you also have an innovative drunk song inside a well.

The performances by all the actors is good. Ravishankar stands out as he has the most important role even bigger than that of the lead pair. Make sure that you book your tickets in advance for Jigarthanda is a sure shot success.

Chitraloka Rating - 4/5

The team of JigarThanda which is overwhelmed with the reaction from the audience is all set to visit prominent theaters in six cities on Monday. The JigarThanda team will first visit the Shantala theater in Nelamanga on Monday morning and will Ranganatha (Shira), Krishna (Tumkur), Prasanna (Chitradurga), Aruna (Davanagere) and Saraswathi (Haveri) theaters.

Actor Kabir Duhan Singh who acted in films like 'Hebbuli' and 'Atiratha' is all set to play a prominent role in Sudeep's new film 'Phailwan' to be directed by S Krishna.

Though Kabir's role in the film is not divulged, sources say he plays a prominent role in the film and Kabir has been working out hard in the gym to tone his body. Now his body is in full shape and the actor is ready to face the camera.

'Phailwan' is being produced by Swapna Krishna and written and directed by S Krishna. Karunakar is the cameraman, while Arjun Janya is the music director

The title of Shivarajakumar-Sudeep starrer 'Kali' has been unveiled on Sunday and the film is likely to start early next year. If sources are to be believed, then the film will release only in 2018.

Yes, 'Kali' being directed by Prem is likely to be released in only 2018 because Prem says that he need one and a half years only for the shooting of the film and as there is a lot of cg works the post-production of the film, may take six more months to finish. Overall, 'Kali' will take two years to finish.

Prem is planning to start the shooting of the film only by mid 2016 and may release only in 2018.

The Nandi awards for the year 2012 and 2013 have been released and many Kannadigas including Sudeep has won many awards in both the years.

Most prominently, Sudeep has won the best villain award for his performance for 'Eega'. Another Kannadiga S S Rajamouli, who is basically from Raichur in Karnataka has been adjudged the best director and best screenplay writer for the same film. These awards are for the year 2012.

For the year 2013, Prakash Raj has won the best supporting award for 'Sitamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu', while Sampat Raj has got the best villain award for his best portrayal for the film 'Mirchi'.

The awards for both the years will be given away soon.

A long list of biographies are being made about international cricketers in Hindi. From Sachin Tendulkar to Mohammad Azharuddin, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and now the upcoming film on Kapil Dev, there have been many. In Sandalwood however, sporting biographies are absent. However cricketers of Karnataka origin are not averse to Kannada films. Some of them have acted in Kannada films too. 

Legendary batsman GR Vishwanath acted in the film Navatare starring Kumar Bangarappa. The film was about a sportsman and the character of GRV was also of a mentor. Syed Kirmani acted in two Kannada films including Deadly 2. He has also acted in a Hindi and a Malayalam film. Three Karnataka cricketers, Sunil Joshi, Akhil and Aiyappa acted in a song in the film Ee Preethi Onthara. More recently Venkatesh Prasad played a major role in the film Sachin-Tendulkar Alla. 

All this recollection is because Golden Star Ganesh met Jumbo Anil Kumble on Tuesday in the cricketer's office. There is no official version of why the meeting was held. Is Kumble acting in a Kannada film? We will know shortly.

Kumble has revealed recently on Vishnuvardhan's birthday that his current favourite actor is Sudeep. The last Kannada film he watched was Hebbuli. Kumble has made it a point to wish fans on the birthday of Vishnuvardhan. Another cricketer who is a fan of Vishnuvardhan is Robin Uthappa who fondly calls Vishnuvardhan 'Madikeri Sipayi' in reference to his role in the film Muttina Haara. 

Actress Karunya Ram has been eliminated from Sudeep's show Big Boss 4 today. Malavika, Pratham, Mohan and Bhuvan were also nominated for the elimination this week. Pratham has been nominated for the sixth consecutive time on Bigg Boss 4.

Karunya original name is Priyanka Chandra and she has acted in Love in singapore and other movies. She came to limelight from the movie Vajrakaya starring with shiva Rajakumar.

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and his love for showing off his bare body is a known thing, but namma very own Abhinaya Chakravarthy Kichcha Sudeepa fighting bare body with none other than Salman Khan is a phenomena by itself!

The actor who is presently shooting for the climax sequence of Dabangg 3, has shared that he could have never ever imagine that he would be fight bare body against Salman Khan, but with the little confidence he has now after started working out, he adds saying he is enjoying doing it.

He also adds that it has been a great experience shooting for the Hindi film involving a great bunch of team behind the making of it.

For Pailwaan, Kichcha Sudeepa had started to hit the gym, for that chiseled body as the posters revealed his bare body looks as a 'kusti patu'. Fans cannot wait to catch a glimpse of the bare body fight of two superstars on the silver screen.

Abhinaya Chakravarthy Kichcha Sudeepa has revealed that he had borrowed Rs.25,000 from his wife Priya during the making of his film Nalla.

The star actor has said that they went on to make 'Sparaha’' on a low budget but when it exceeded, it was his sister who helped by selling her gold bangles and even borrowed money from his better half Priya, who was then working in a private company. 

"Finally, it was Madhu Bangarappa, who lend five lakhs to wrap up the film. Undoubtedly, it is my family and films like Huccha which made me what I am today," Kichcha says.

With just two films old, Nikhil Kumar, son of Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy, has earned a lot of accolades for his performance especially for his role in his latest release - Seetharama Kalyana, made under Channambika Films.

The biggest compliment of all was when Kichcha Sudeepa himself praised his acting skills after watching the movie. He went onto praise Nikhil saying that he certainly looks like a promising actor.

“Nikhil surely looks a promising actor. Loved his subtlety in performance and has delivered what’s expected out of him towards the scene written. Would love to see him in a script and a character much simpler to take him close to people's hearts,” Kichcha says, while wishing him the best for his future endeavours.

Recently even the actor's grandfather and former prime minister, H D Deve Gowda who along with his entire family watched Seetharama Kalyana. Even a special screening of the movie was arranged for the who's who of politicians in the state.

Tsunami Kitty and Gowthami have been eliminated from the third season of the 'Big Boss' and now there are only six contestants left in the house. With Sushma eliminated from the house last week, only eight contestants were left including Shruthi, Anand, Chandan, Ayyappa, Pooja Gandhi, Rehman,Tsunami Kitty and Gowthami in the house.

'Bigg Boss' had nominated all the eight contestants straightly this week and out of the eight contestants, Tsunami Kitty and Gowthami have been eliminated from the house.

Tsunami Kitty has created the record in all the Bigg boss history for getting nominated for elimination most of the time!

Sudeep starrer 'Kotigobba 2'  which is being produced by Soorappa Babu and directed by K S Ravikumar is all set to be released on the auspicious day of Varmahalakshmi festival.

Distributor Jack Manju says the film is doing extremely well in multiplexes. "It has 106 shows a week even in the third week in multiplexes which is the highest ever for a Kannada film. I am happy, the multiplexes are happy. Hardly any Kannada films released in some multiplexes like Fun Cinemas on Cunningham Road, Innovative Multiplex and some others. We released the film in all of these and it surprised everyone that it is continuing to be screened in the third week also. Big budget films like Mohenjodaro, Rustom in Hindi and a few big English films also released but did not affect Kotigobba2," Jack Manju said.
