Remake Ravana, Yogish!

April 3rd, 2009 at 5:25 pm

yogish_ambari It’s raining remakes in Gandhinagar. The creatively barren land of Kannada film industry has virtually got a shot in its weakened arm by the government as it has announced subsidy for the remake films. It seems every actor and filmmaker has been visiting producers’ office with a Telugu or Tamil movie DVD. Anything goes as long as it’s a hit in another language.

But our loose Mada, Yogish has maintained uniqueness even in copying films from other languages. He usually copies only Dhanush’s films under the pretext that it suits his image here in Kannada. Continuing that sacred tradition, the guy will now act in the Kannada version of “Thiruvilayadal Aarambam,” another Dhanush film, which released in 2006. The film is directed by Raghavendra who earlier directed Balashiva.

The original film starred Shriya Saran and Prakash Raj opposite Dhanush. The film is a simple love story between a boy and a girl and to make it last for two half hours, the girl’s brother opposes their love (we hope the producers are not upset with us for ‘revealing’ the story!). The cast for Yogish’s new movie is yet to be finalized.

Well, we hope Dhanush does some sensible movies back there in Tamil. Because we will end up seeing the same stuff years later in Kannada; and it’s not always an uplifting experience.

    Hi,
    Somebody has to give gyan to kannada movie makers to stop remakes in Kannada, Cant they follow Puttanna kanagal and other reknown directors of Kannada film industry , Cant they know kannadigas dont like to watch remake films ? why are our directors and producers lagging behing in creativity, and they expect people to watch all the films they make. I think they have to do lot of home work on attracting kannadigas to kannda films.

    worst comedians in kannada cant compare kannada with tamil & telugu

    Comedians like Bramandham, aali, sunil, venu, Vadivelu, Vivek, santhanam, karunaas, manohar, kovai sarala are all rounder in everything.

    But sadhu kokila, tennis krishna, doddanna, bank janardhan sucks komal is perfect but does remake of tamil again.

    Kannada movies like mungaru male, milana, moggina manasu, america maerica, mata, aptha mitra, manasaare, are good….

    also the actors have Worst dancing skills

    seeing the recent kannada movies i feel ashamed to see or discuss abt kannada movies with our friends,
    I would like to slap, spit, kick the producers for spending money on kannada films.
    i like to mention some useless movies and actors
    Yogesh – Thinks him self as Kannada Dhanush
    Vijay – Cruel looks, worst movies
    Prajwal – No acting
    New commers – Unfit ones
    Ajay, tarun – less acting skills
    other old actors like Darshan, Shiv rajkumar, Murali, Ravichandran, S.narayan`s son, are spoiling kannada movies in name of Raj & Vishnu

    PuneetRaj, sudeep rocks

    worst movies – Jogi, Yogi, iniya, jeeva, sardara, 10th class, josh, Yaaradhu, maadesha, madhanaa, ghilli, devru, Kalakaar, Love guru, EE preethi yaake……., Rajini, hollywood, Abhay, all darshan movies exept namma preethiya Ramu & E Bandhana.

    Kannada producers are shameless parasites. Despite so many flops and so many remakes, look at the way these a**holes celebrated Amrutha Mahotsava!!

    It is really disappointing to see our kannada film industry living on borrowed content – in short, remakes. Any movie that runs well in our neighboring states is quickly lapped up by our creative deficient film makers. Just where are we heading?

    Is this the same industry that delivered movies like Nagarahaavu, Bhootaiyyana Maga Aiyyu, Gejje Pooje, Banagarada Manushya, Kasturi Nivasa and others. I dont agree that remakes assure of returns. Just invest good money on a script and it will bring results. There are hundreds of writers with quality ideas but are not ready to work for peanuts. After all, you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. It is only when that producers think that a writer is as important as a hero and a director will we get to see some quality movies. After all, how many of our movies have been copied by other states????

Got something to say?
