Manam cinema picchollam. Manaki cinema aithe chaalu, bhasha bhedham undadhu. Andhullo chaala years Bangalore lo undi raavadam valla anni bhashala cinemaalu choose avakaasam dorikindhi. Kannada cinema ippudu oka transformation phase lo undhi. Ippudu unna young and dynamic bunch of makers mix asalu super. Commercial values ni technical values ni expert ga balance chesthunnaaru. These movies are my personal favorites having either great content or technical values and in some cases both.
