ಸೀರೆ ಎಂದರೆ ಸಾಕು..ಸ್ವಾಭಿಮಾನ ಚಿತ್ರದ ದೂರದ ಊರಿಂದ ಹಮ್ಮೀರ ಬಂದ.. ಮಿ.ರಾಜಾ ಚಿತ್ರದ ಸೀರೆ ಕೊಟ್ಟ ಧೀರ..ಜನುಮದ ಜೋಡಿ ಚಿತ್ರದ ಸೀರೆ..ಸೀರೆ..ಸೀರೆ..ಎಲ್ಲೆಲ್ಲೋ ಹಾರೈತೆ..ಮಿಡಿದ ಹೃದಯಗಳು ಚಿತ್ರದ ತಂದೆ ಕೊಡಿಸೋ ಸೀರೆ..ಪಂಚರಂಗಿ ಚಿತ್ರದ ಉಡಿಸುವೆ ಬೆಳಕಿನ ಸೀರೆಯಾ..ರನ್ನ ಚಿತ್ರದ ಸೀರೆಲಿ ಹುಡುಗಿಯ ನೋಡಲೆಬಾರದು..

ಸೇರಿದಂತೆ ಹತ್ತಾರು ಹಾಡುಗಳು.. ಸೀರೆ ತೊಟ್ಟವರೂ ನೆನಪಾಗ್ತಾರೆ. ಅಂದಹಾಗೆ ಈ ಮೇಲೆ ಹೇಳಿದ ಹಾಡುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಪಂಚರಂಗಿಯ ಬೆಳಕಿನ ಸೀರೆ ಹಾಗೂ ರನ್ನನ ಸೀರೆಲಿ ಹುಡುಗಿಯ.. ಹಾಡುಗಳ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಕರ್ತ ಯೋಗರಾಜ್ ಭಟ್ಟರೇ. ಅದೇಕೋ ಏನೋ.. ಭಟ್ಟರು ಸೀರೆಯ ಬೆನ್ನು ಬಿದ್ದಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ಸೀರೆ ಅನ್ನೋದು ಯೋಗರಾಜ್ ಭಟ್ಟರ ಹೊಸ ಸಿನಿಮಾದ ಟೈಟಲ್ಲು. ಹಾಗಂತ ಅವರು ನಿರ್ದೇಶನ ಮಾಡ್ತಿಲ್ಲ. ಭಟ್ಟರು ಮತ್ತು ಶಶಾಂಕ್ ಒಟ್ಟಿಗೇ ನಿರ್ಮಿಸುತ್ತಿರುವ ಈ ಚಿತ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ಭಟ್ಟರ ಶಿಷ್ಯ ಮೋಹನ್ ಸಿಂಗ್ ನಿರ್ದೇಶಕ.

ನಟ ರಿಷಿಗಾಗಿ ಒಂದೊಳ್ಳೆ ಕಥೆಯ ಹುಡುಕಾಟದಲ್ಲಿದ್ದ ಭಟ್ಟರು, ಕಥೆಯನ್ನು ಶಶಾಂಕ್ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಹೇಳಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಶಶಾಂಕ್ ಅವರಿಗೂ ಕಥೆ ಇಷ್ಟವಾಗಿದೆ. ಗಾಳಿಪಟ 2ನಲ್ಲಿ ರಿಷಿ ನಟಿಸಬೇಕಿತ್ತು. ನಂತರ ಬದಲಾವಣೆಯಾಗಿತ್ತು. ರಿಷಿಗಾಗಿ ಬೇರೊಂದು ಸಿನಿಮಾ ಮಾಡುತ್ತೇನೆ ಎಂದಿದ್ದ ಭಟ್ಟರು, ಸ್ವತಃ ತಾವೇ ನಿರ್ಮಾಪಕರಾಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಜೊತೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಶಶಾಂಕ್ ಇದ್ದಾರೆ. ಭಟ್ಟರ ಗ್ಯಾಂಗಿನ ಮಾಸ್ತಿ ಡೈಲಾಗ್ ಬರೆಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ಈಗ ಥಿಯೇಟರಿನಲ್ಲಿ, ದೇಶದಾದ್ಯಂತ ಕೆಜಿಎಫ್‍ನದ್ದೇ ಸದ್ದು. 100 ಕೋಟಿ ದಾಟಿ ಮುನ್ನುಗ್ಗುತ್ತಿರುವ ಕೆಜಿಎಫ್, ದಾಖಲೆಗಳನ್ನು ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸುತ್ತಾ ಸಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಇಂತಹ ಸಮಯದಲ್ಲೇ ನೆನಪಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ ಮುಂಗಾರು ಮಳೆ. ಈ ದಿನ ಅಂದ್ರೆ ಡಿಸೆಂಬರ್ 29, ಮುಂಗಾರು ಮಳೆ ರಿಲೀಸ್ ಆದ ದಿನ. 2006ರಲ್ಲಿ ರಿಲೀಸ್ ಆಗಿದ್ದ ಮುಂಗಾರು ಮಳೆ, ದಾಖಲೆಗಳ ಸುನಾಮಿಯನ್ನೇ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸಿತ್ತು. ಆ ಚಿತ್ರದಿಂದ ಕೆಲವರು ರಾತ್ರೋರಾತ್ರಿ ಸ್ಟಾರ್ ಆಗಿಬಿಟ್ಟರು. ಊಹೂಂ.. ರಾತ್ರೋರಾತ್ರಿ ಅನ್ನುವುದು ತಪ್ಪಾಗಬಹುದು. ಆ ಚಿತ್ರದಿಂದ ಸ್ಟಾರ್ ಆದ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಬ್ಬರೂ ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಕಾಲ ಬೆವರು ಸುರಿಸಿದ್ದರು. ತಮ್ಮ ಪ್ರತಿಭೆಗೆ ಸಾಣೆ ಹಿಡಿದಿದ್ದರು.

ಮುಂಗಾರು ಮಳೆ ಸ್ಟಾರ್ ನಂ. 4 : ಮನೋ ಮೂರ್ತಿ

ಮುಂಗಾರು ಮಳೆ ಸ್ಟಾ ನಂ. 10 - ಇ. ಕೃಷ್ಣಪ್ಪ

Yogaraj Bhatt's 'Panchatantra' which was released on Friday across Karnataka is getting good response all over. Meanwhile, Bhatt has said that the film might not only be remade in Telugu, but he himself may direct the Telugu version of 'Panchatantra' in the coming days.

'Panchatantra' is getting dubbing and remake inquiries from other languages and there is a proposal from a Telugu producer to remake the film in Telugu. The producer is also planning to rope in Yogaraj Bhatt to direct the film in Telugu. Bhatt has also fixed the title of the film and has named the film as 'Andhra versus Telangana'. While Andhra represents the elders in the film, Telangana represents youngsters.

More details about the film is yet awaited.

The Urban Congress Committee of Theerthahalli has filed a police complaint against Yogaraj Bhatt and actor 'Duniya' Vijay for making derogatory comments against minister Ratnakar.

What Yogaraj Bhat Says On Chemistry Exam Paper

Earlier, Yogaraj Bhatt had written a funny song regarding the recent question paper leaks of 2nd Year PUC. While Bhatt had written the song, he along with 'Duniya' Vijay and Chethan Soska had sung the song.

Listen Voice - WE ARE NOT DRINKERS 

So, the followers of Primary Education Minister Kimmane Ratnakar including Dharanesh, Nagesh and others of the Urban Congress Committee has filed a complaint against Bhatt and Vijay saying that there are derogatory remarks against the minister and the duo must be arrested immediately.ew one

The post production of Vijay starrer 'Dana Kayonu' which is directed by Yogaraj Bhatt is almost complete and the team is all set to release the songs of the film on the 10th of April. V Harikrishna has composed the songs of the film.

'Dana Kayonu' is produced by Kanakapura Srinivas under the R S Productions banner. Yogaraj Bhatt himself has written the story, screenplay and dialogues apart from directing the film. Sugnan is the cameraman.

The songs of Vijay starrer 'Dana Kayonu' was released amidst much fan fare in Kanakapura on Friday night. Actress Rachita Ram, distributor Basha released the songs of the film. If everything had gone right, then Power Minister D K Shivakumar was supposed to release the audio of the film. However, D K Shivakumar and his brother D K Suresh were absent for the audio release.

Even Vijay and Priyamani were not present during the occasion. In their absence, Rachita Ram released the audio. Director Yogaraj Bhatt and Kanakapura Srinivas were present.

Director Yograj Bhat has written to concerned authorities that the producer of Danakayonu Kanakapura Srinivas has withheld the payment pending to him and other persons who have worked for the film. This was promised to be paid before the release of the film Bharjari but it has not been done. This complaint has put a question mark on the release of the new film Bharjari next week. Yograj Bhat has alleged that the tax free certificate of the film has not been signed by the concerned authorities but even then the producer's share of the box office collection has been withdrawn from theatres by the producers. He has said that he does not know if it is legal and proper but the authorities should look into it. He has said that the producer owes him Rs 24.5 lakh in arrears. 

Yograj Bhat has pleaded with the authorities and the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce to force the producer to pay the dues to him and the other technicians including cinematographer Sugnan. Danakayonu released in October last year and had a decent run at the box office. The problems between the producer on the one side and the director and other technicians had not come out in the open till now. 

After Yograj Bhat's complaint the Information Department has replied that the producer has not applied for the 100 per cent tax exemption certificate. Now it is surprising if the producer has indeed managed to take his share of the box office collection without the certificate in hand. If he has managed to as Bhat alleges it would be a major wrong and the producer will be in trouble. 

A publicity photo released by Yogaraj Movies shows actor Diganth, in what appears to be, completely nude. The actor is running on a road and his private parts are blacked out. This is the first look of the film Parapancha directed by Krish Joshi and under the Yograj Bhat banner.

This is not the first time Diganth has found himself in such a photograph. In Dev S/o Mudde Gowda, the film's title covered his private parts while his pants were shown down. This had created huge controversy and had to be later withdrawn. But the photo from Parapancha goes a step further and looks like a fully nude scene by an actor in Kannada for the first time.

Journalists turning film producers, directors, script writers is not new to any film industry. Here is the latest addition but as an actor! S Shyam Prasad is a legal reporter in a Bengaluru newspaper and also a film journalist who writes about Kannada films. He is also a film critic reviewing Kannada films. A surprise on Saturday evening at the launch of Yograj Bhat produced and Krish Joshi directed Parapancha was Shyam's photo in the trailer.

Film sources said Bhat asked him to essay the small character in the film. Shyam has also written dialogues for Garshane and C/oFootpath2 earlier. Journalists who have acted and made a mark as actors in recent years are RG Vijayasarathi and Yethiraj.

Chitraloka editor KM Veeresh is also a Kannada film producer and distributor.

Gaalipata 2 Movie Review 

Director: Yograj Bhat

Cast: Ganesh, Diganth, Anant Nag, Sharmila Mandre, Vaibhavi Shandilya, Samyuktha Menon, Pawan Kumar

Duration: 2 hours 38 minutes

Stars: 4/5

 Sunshine of emotions amidst rain and snow

Working together seems to get the best out of director Yograj Bhat and actor Ganesh. They haven’t been prolific together but all their films together have been well-made and designed to transport audience to a world of emotions.

 Gaalipata 2 comes nearly a decade and half after the original and had much riding on it. The template of the original is followed; three college students meet three girls they fall in love with. How these relationships change the dandies is a script that Bhat has been writing all along.

 If the template is the same, how does Gaalipata 2 become special or watchable? To Bhat’s credit, he comes up with saying all the familiar things in a new way. The dialogues, which is usually the high-point of his films oozes with freshness.

 The usual wit and humour is present in a considerable dose. But he does not overdo it this time. Usually, his films seem to have more than the quantity of dialogues required. He has managed to hold his horses and deliver only what is required here.

The songs, which are another highlights of Bhat’s films contain meaningful lyrics rather than pop philosophy. So unlike his regular songs which become instant hits, these songs grow up on you. After hearing it once, you are compelled to remember the lyrics and long to listen to them again.

 The youthful banter, jokes, fun, irreverence, tapori characters all combine to make Gaalipata 2 a perfect recipe for a new generation of audience who may not have watched Mungaru Male and Gaalipata in theatres in the first decade of the 21st Century. This is the third decade of the Century and the words, jokes and fun are updated. What remains the same are the emotions.

 Technically, this is a brilliant film. The camera work of Santhosh Rai Pathaje deserves an award or two. He is so flawless in executing brilliant shots that look so simple. The editing is another department that deserves special mention. The art work in some places is amazing and you are left wondering how they did it. The canvas is really colorful and Gaalipata is best enjoyed on the big screen, for all its vibrancy.

On the acting front Ganesh nails it like a pro. He is king of emotions, a real golden performance. Among the other cast, Anant Nag is his usual best and you cannot even think of another actor in his place.

 Forget the story, forget the relevance and forget the past films. Go to Gaalipata 2 and soak in the wet emotions, cool breeze of fun and soft kisses of snowy fun. This may not be a landmark film, but has the right amount of everything to draw all kinds of audience.

ಊಟಕ್ಕೆ ಟ್ಯಾಕ್ಸು.. ವಾಂತಿಗೂ ಟ್ಯಾಕ್ಸು, ಹುಟ್ಟು ಚಟ್ಟಕೆ ತೆರಿಗೆ ಫಿಕ್ಸು..ಹೊಡಿ ಒಂಭತ್ತ್...

ಇದು ಯೋಗರಾಜ್ ಭಟ್ಟರ ಗೀತೆ. ಮಗುಳು ನಗೆ ಸಿನಿಮಾದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೊಡಿ ಒಂಬತ್ತ್. ಅನ್ನೋ ಹಾಡಿದೆ. ಆ ಹಾಡಿನ ಸ್ಟೈಲಲ್ಲೇ ಜಿಎಸ್​ಟಿ ಹಾಡು ಬರೆದಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಯೋಗರಾಜ್ ಭಟ್.

ಈ ಮೊದಲೂ ಪಂಚರಂಗಿ, ವಾಸ್ತುಪ್ರಕಾರ, ದನಕಾಯೋನು ಮೊದಲಾದ ಚಿತ್ರಗಳ ಹಾಡುಗಳಿಗೆ ಸಮಕಾಲೀನ ಘಟನೆಗಳನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿಸಿ ಹಾಡು ಬರೆದಿದ್ದ ಯೋಗರಾಜ್ ಭಟ್, ಈಗ ಜಿಎಸ್​ಟಿಗೆ ಬರೆದಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ಹಾಡಿನ ಸಾಲುಗಳು ಹೀಗಿವೆ

ಊಟಕ್ಕೆ ಟ್ಯಾಕ್ಸು ವಾಂತಿಗೂ ಟ್ಯಾಕ್ಸು ಹುಟ್ಟು ಚಟ್ಟಕೆ ತೆರಿಗೆ ಫಿಕ್ಸು ಹೊಡಿ ಒಂಭತ್ತ್ 

ಸ್ನಾನಕೆ ನಿಂತ್ರೆ ಚೊಂಬಿಗೆ ಟ್ಯಾಕ್ಸು, ಬ್ಲೇಡಿನ ಟ್ಯಾಕ್ಸು, ಗಡ್ಡಕೆ ಸಿಗ್ಸು ಹೊಡಿ ಒಂಭತ್ತ್

ಜಿಎಸ್​ಟಿ ಬಂತೋ..

ಜಿಎಸ್​ಟಿ ಬಂದ್ಬಿಡ್ತೋ..

ಅದರರ್ಥ ಏನಂತ..

ಇಲ್ಯಾವನಿಗ್ ಗೊತ್ತೋ..

ಕಾಸಿದ್ದೋನೇ ಕಾಸ್ ಮಾಡೋದು ಹೊಡಿ ಒಂಭತ್ತ್..

ಕಾಸೇ ಇಲ್ದಿರವ್ನು ಏನ್ ಮಾಡೋದು.? ಹೊಡಿ ಒಂಭತ್ತ್..

ಹೊಡಿ ಒಂಭತ್ತ್..

ಇದ್ದವ್ನೊಬ್ಬ ಬ್ಯಾಂಕು ಬ್ಲಾಗಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳ್ಬಿಟ್ಟಾ ಗುಟ್ಟು..

ಇಲ್ಲಿದ್ದವ್ನು ಏಟಿಎಮ್ಮಿಗೆ ಒಯ್ದ ಬೆಡ್​ಶೀಟು

ಡಿಮಾನಿಟೈಸೇಷನ್ನು..

ಅಂತ ಅಂದಕೂಡ್ಲೇ..

ಹೊರಬಂತು ನಗ್ತಾ ನಗ್ತಾ 

ಜೇಬಲ್ಲಿದ್ದ ಚಿಲ್ರೆ

ಗಂಟು ಕಟ್ಟಿ ಇಟ್ಕಂಡವ್ರು ನೆಟ್ಗೇ ಇದಾರೆ 

ಕಳ್ಳ ಕಾಸು

ಇದ್ದೋನೇ ಬಾಸು

ರಂಟೆ ಹೊಡೆವ ಬಡವ ಕೂಡಾ ಕಲಿತುಕೊಂಡ 

ಎಕನಾಮಿಕ್ಸು..

ಅವ್ನು ಜಸ್ಟು ಪಾಸು

ಅವ್ನು ಬಿಕಾಮು ಪಾಸು

ಫೇಲಾದೋವ್ನೆ ಪಾಸಾಗೋದು ಹೊಡಿ ಒಂಭತ್ತ್..

ಇದನ್ನ ತಿಳಕಂಡವ್ರೆ ಮೇಷ್ಟ್ರಾಗೋದು ಹೊಡಿ ಒಂಭತ್ತ್..

Two of the big upcoming films, I Love You starring Upendra and directed by R Chandru and Panchatantra directed by Yogaraj Bhat will clash at the box office. Both films will release on February 14. The release date of I Love You was announced last week.

The audio launch of the film is this week. Meanwhile Panchatantra has finalised on the release date now. The clash of expected films is inevitable in the next few months as there are a huge number of big films lined up for release. This is the first high profile clash of 2019. But audience can expect more such offerings in the weeks to come.

The post production work on Panchatantra is underway. The shooting was completed sometime ago and the editing has also been locked. Some graphic work, background  score and other works are underway. 

At this juncture, I got the opportunity to watch some portions of the film. It is stunning to say the least. This is the first film of Yograj Bhat that is not completely a romantic film. Most of his films have romance as the basic subject. In Panchatantra  the subject is sports and action though there is a romantic angle also. The action portions I watched were some of the best I have seen in Kannada films. 

These are not the regular fights between hero and the villains. The action is more on the dirt tracks. Race car zoom across in a thrilling encounter which is to be seen to be believed. The pulse-racing adventure has been brilliantly captured and choreographed. It is a thriller and adrenaline pumping feast. 

When I interacted with Yograj Bhat after watching the film's scenes, I was wonder struck by how passionate he still is about every aspect of the film making process. Most fans are addicted to the lyrics he writes for his own films and those of other films. He has made 14 films in 14 years. It is just one film per year. That means, fans have to wait a long time for every new offering. That is because he invests so much time and effort in each film he makes. 

For Panchatantra he took the story from his team. He usually writes the story for his own films but has given a break to that this time. Panchatantra, from what I have seen so far, is quite unlike any film of Yograj Bhat or for that matter most films in Sandalwood. 

For starters it is one of the rare films on sports in Kannada. We have so many films on sports coming in Hindi in recent years. Stories of real sportspersons are being adapted to films frequently. That is missing in other language films in India. Though Panchantra is not about a real sports person it is about a sport that is not often featured in films. 

The film required a great deal of help for professionals of motorsport. You cannot just bring a sports car driven on dirt tracks and put an actor into it and start shooting. I could only imagine the effort gone into making these portions of the film. Speaking to Bhat, I realised that the effort was much more than I imagined. There are very interesting stories about the making of the film which I will reveal regularly on Chitraloka.com.

Two of the biggest hits of 2022, KGF Chapter 2 and Kantara are leading the nomination race in the Chandanavana Film Critics Academy Awards 2023. The two films have secured nominations in most of the top categories including Best Film, Best Direction, Best Screenplay and Best Actor awards. Other films which have secured multiple nominations include 777 Charlie, Vikrant Rona and Dharani Mandala Madyadolage.  

The shortlists for the IV Chandanavana Film Critics Academy Awards 2023 were announced on Saturday in Bengaluru. The awards are constituted by the Chandanavana Film Critics Academy and the nominations are based on voting by Kannada film journalists and critics.

The Fourth edition of the Awards will include seven new award categories. Five of these are for debut actors and technicians. These are Best Actor (Debut) Sanchari Vijay Award, Best Actress (Debut) Tripuramba Award, Best Director (Debut) Shankar Nag Award, Best Producer (Debut) Puneeth Rajkumar Award, and Best Writer (Debut) Chi Udayshankar Award. The total number of awards this year is 27.

The trophy of the 4th edition was unveiled by Sandalwood’s popular director Yogaraj Bhat and actors Iti Acharya, Pavana Gowda and Sangeetha Bhat. They praised the film critics for the initiative to constitute these awards.

“These awards are unique. I was a recipient of the Best Lyricist award last year and I know its value. The opinions of critics shape new creations and force film makers to upgrade, improve and strive for something special all the time. The stature of the Chandanavana Film Critics’ Awards is growing with the passing year and as filmmakers we look forward to this annual event with so much expectation,” Yogaraj Bhat said.

Film critics have voted to select the nominations from Kannada films released in 2022. Kanatra, KGF Chapter 2, 777 Charlie are among the films nominated in multiple categories this year. The Awards Event is scheduled to be held on March 5.

Soori is ready with his latest film 'Kendasampige - Part 2 - Ginimari Case' and the trailer of the film was released on Saturday by Puneeth Rajkumar at the Renukamba Digital Theater in Bangalore.

'Kendasampige' stars Vicky and Manvita Harish in lead roles. The film is based on a story written by Surendranath fondly known as ETV Soori in 1997. The film is being produced by Parimala Talkies and V Harikrishna is the music director while Satya Hegade is the cameraman.

The trailer launch was attended by Yogaraj Bhatt, Jayanth Kaikini, Surendranath, Shashidhar Adapa, Rajesh Nataranga, Govindu and others. Puneeth Rajkumar arrived late and released the trailer officially.

The music album of Yograj Bhat and Ganesh combination's Mugulu Nage will be released on Ganesh Birthday in July.

The final corrections on the songs is underway and director Yograj Bhat and composer V Harikrishna are busy with it. Bhat confirmed that the album will be released in the first week of July. This is one of the most expected films and music albums.

The combination of Bhat, Ganesh and Harikrishna had last come together in 2008 in the film Gaalipata. After nearly 10 years they are working together and the film has therefore created a very huge expectations among the audience. The musical magic of Gaalipata is expected to be recreated with Mugulu Nage. 

The shooting for Ganesh starrer 'Mugulu Nage' was completed on Saturday night in Bangalore. The team shot a song featuring Ganesh and others and with the song, the shooting for the film also got completed.

'Mugulu Nage' marks the return of Ganesh and Yogaraj Bhatt after 'Galipata'. The film has four heroines and Apoorva, 'Nikitha Narayan, Ashitha and Amulya have acted opposite Ganesh in the film. Apart from that Ananth Nag, Rangayana Raghu and others play prominent roles in the film.

Yogaraj Bhatt himself has written the story, screenplay and dialogues of 'Mugulunage'. Sugnan is the cameraman, while V Harikrishna is the music director. The film is being produced by Syed Salam.

Since the last 10 years when Mungaru Male was made, hundreds of directors actors and technicians have tried to make the next Mungaru Male. There was also an attempt to make Mungaru Male part 2, but none of these films reached the peak in excellence or the box office collection of the original film. Finally there is a film that matches the intensity and emotional touch of Mungaru Male. It is none other than Mugulu Nage. Not surprisingly it is director Yograj Bhat and actor Ganesh who are together again in this film.

Mughal Nage should rank among one of the best movies in the careers of Yograj Bhat and Ganesh. The film is not only an emotional journey but an entertaining feast for the audience. The film chronicles the journey of a young man in the ups and downs of his journey in his relationship with four different girls.

The film takes the audience through various moods even as the various shooting locations pass through the screen like Mysore-Bangalore, Pondicherry and coastal Karnataka. Each of the four heroines in the film brings out various personality traits of the lead actor in this film. Ganesh plays the role of Pulkeshi an engineer. He has a strange problem. He has been unable to crying since he was born. As his relationship with the various girls he comes in contact with takes a turn for the worse is it possible for him to remain like this throughout his life? That is the philosophical question Yograj Bhat answers in this mesmerizing film.

It would be a mistake to reveal the story of the film. It would be best enjoyed watching it on the screen. There is not one but four different stories that combined together to bring about the idea Yogaraj Bhat wants to convey.

The characters created by the director are enchanting and will stay in the minds of the audience for a very long time. As usual the dialogues written by him are peppy and interesting. Ganesh gets a role of a lifetime it is one of the best roles has done since Mungaru Male.

Apart from a good story, good cinematography and good dialogues the film also has beautiful music. The song have been composed by Hari Krishna and the lyrics are by Yograj Bhat and Jayanth Kaikini. The cinematography is a big plus point for the film. Sugnaan has come out with beautiful camera work.

Apart from Ganesh the four leading ladies have done a wonderful job in the acting department. The supporting cast is also very good.

Chitraloka Rating - 4/5

Renowned sandalwood director Yograj Bhat, is not only known for his versatility and multiple hit movies but also for encouraging new talented filmmakers and providing them the much needed opportunities in the industry. Numerous successful technicians have emerged from his camp till date.

While the director who is busy these days with the release of his latest from his production house 'Yograj Cinemas' - Panchatantra, which marks the debut of actor Vihan Gowda and others, has announced a short film contest for the aspiring filmmakers.

According to the director, the opportunity is for the aspiring talents, who are passionate about films. The competition comes with a set of conditions that it should not exceed more than 5 minutes, and it should compulsorily have the audio of the Panchatantra movie with minimum 10 seconds to 30 seconds.

Further, the a scene should be shot within the premises of a multiplex or single screen theatre, and it should also have a character of a senior citizen, a youngster and a car. Most importantly it should be shot in full HD mode.

Last date of submissions of the short films is on or before February 10. For more information contact Yograj Cinemas.

Director Yogaraj Bhat is back with yet another masterpiece, and this time he dwells upon the mindsets of two different generations - one which is full of youth but lacks maturity and other comprising the gang of senior citizens who are mischievous by nature. The value addition to it comes in the form of a care race due to which Panchatantra wins the entertaining game in the end.

This one is filled with every typical element, which the Yogaraj Bhat fans can ask for. From his typical dialogues, songs to humour and emotional content, the director has spared none to make it a complete family entertainer. Plus the adventurous race in the second half makes it a must watch film.

On the outset, it is a simple tale which is inspired from the Hare and the Tortoise story from Aesop's fable, which emphasises the value of being slow and steady in achieving one's goal. Pegged around it, Bhat's Panchatantra has two rival gangs fighting it out for supremacy. The younger lot is headed by Karthik played by Vihan Gowda and and the elderly gang headed by Raganna played by Rangayana Raghu.

With a property dispute as the epicenter, the two gang fight it out to claim the ownership of it. The escapades during the process of pulling each other's leg gives Panchatantra the much needed punch for a joyful ride. In between there is a love story of Karthik and Sahitya, the daughter of Raganna. 

When Raganna finds about his daughter's love affair, the furious clash leads to an unusual challenge. The two gang then legally agree on a car race. The one who wins the race gets the property and Karthik gets his girl too. Vihaan, Akshara, Sonal and the gang puts up a formidable performance and the Rangayana Raghu, Kari Subbu and their experienced gang are at their usual best.

V. Harikrishna scores a couple of soothing romantic song along with the unusual ones penned by the director himself.

After all the laughter ride, the second half is about the car race and how the director smartly webs the age old value and its moral lessons is the essence of it. Watch it without fail to know who wins the race in the end.
