Two films marked 100 days
Kannada
films are going great guns. With tremendous success of Jogi,
now two more films have hit the century mark. Punith Rajumar
starrer Namma Basava and Upendra's Auto Shankar completes
100 days this week.
Satyakiran and Santhosh K. have made a significant mark with
their debut production Namma Basava completing 100 days in
25 theaters. With Punith Rajkumar going through the best phase
in his career, this film translated into good box-office grosser.
Despite of cricket matches, downpour in many part of the state
and most importantly, very low-key pre-release promotions,
Namma Basava found itself on a sticky wicket barring a few
centers.
With tremendous hype created by Jogi and the other competitor
Auto Shankar releasing on the same day, naturally, the producer
duos were chewing their nails in anxiety when the film got
released. But the movie picked up gradually with Punith's
impressive track record and the loyal fans. In fact, this
film had an edge over its competitors! Producer Satyakiran
is planning to celebrate this milestone in a grand manner.
However, the date is not fixed yet.
Excited by his debut success, Satyakiran aims at producing
many more family entertainers moving forward and he has plans
for couple more projects in the years to come. Their topmost
preference is for 'original' stories. Best of all, they want
to produce those films in Kannada first and them remake in
other languages.
 Auto
Shankar that completes 100 days was the dark horse. Business
of Auto Shankar, though had a mixed opinion, showed a gradual
rise at several areas across the state. The film did have
a shaky start but it managed to gear up as moved along. Of
course, the business didn't show a meteoric rise, but the
figures were interesting. The advantage with Auto Shankar
was that it's a pure mass entertainer which is the trend now
and like all Ramu Productions, it was made with a big budget
with whopping publicity.
Ramu also announced his next production 'Preetigagi' with
Murali in the lead. Search for the heroine is on.
