Male Barali Manju Irali Music Review
BT Rating: (2.5/5)
Audio Review by Suchitra Preetham
Manoo Murthy’s luck with ‘M’ seems to be running out. After epic hits such as Mungaru Male, Milana and to some extent, Moggina Manasu tunes, the M factor in Male Barali Manju Irali is just one futile shot. The tunes of this album are a sad [...]

Ganesh with “Ili”ana!
The Pokri gal Illeana is rumored to have accepted a Kannada film with Ganesh. This was bound to happen.

Nothing stops Gandhinagar’s obsession for outsourcing. And now Parichaya announces a Gift (not a pun) to Sandalwood. The devils and evils of outsourcing accompany this occurrence. Jessi Gift raps in unlimited, so much so that too many foot tapping numbers makes you long for a chair. [...]

Maybe with the dubious exception of Moggina Manassu, Shubha Poonja never had any hits to write home about in Kannada. But that hasn’t stopped this beautiful girl from getting films one after another.
