The original was a superhit in tamil dubbed as shivaputrudu in telugu and agin was a hit..already a hit in bangalore...watched by so many people because of the quality..but anaatharu an aptly titled rubbish ..a very badly remade shit of a classic is watched only by anatharu of indian cinema..

Well - for you dude - no doubt original was a great hit and Vikram won national award[he did deserve that]. and coming to Anaatharu - it will be a hit and it is nicely done. You comments shows your immaturity. have you seen the movie? grow up. watch the movie first and then comment. atleast - go and read the review everywhere. don't post non-sense comments around here,

you are free to criticize movies you feel bad. what is not acceptable is you criticizing we kannadigas. you don't have any rights to call us "Annatharu".. why to get into that low?

if you watched fine. i too have watched i liked it. I found Upendra quite natural and done graet justice to his role. no doubt - Vikram was better in original - i admit that. For me - it wasn't horrible. it was nicely done movie.

also - if you have a problem with movie - you have all rights to criticize that. but don't accept people of that region. We, kannadigas haven't done anything harm to you. I don't even know who you are. keep your abusive nature beside and try to be a good person in life.
As Kannadigas, we need a film critic who is focused solely on Kannada films. Somebody who has watched Kannada movies over time and knows the history. We do not need somebody who just compares and tries to put down Kannada movie makers and goers. We need somebody to just tell us if a movie is good or bad and not compare it other ones. There are good and bad movies in all languages. Some languages do well in movies while not so in other areas. In literature, Kannada leads India with six Jynanapeeth award winners. So, please let Mr. Vijayasarathy go as far as reviewing Kannada movies go.
Now, dear Vijayasarathy,
We really do not care about how a Tamil movie was better than a Kannada movie; I suggest you should just review Tamil movies from here on. Please spare us!

Then you guys dont remake films from other languages. If you always do remake films then obviously the critic will compare the films. That is basic.

Being courteous to Kannada readers is also basic. We can understand if this movie pales in comparison to the one from another language. But this can be conveyed in a sentence, not devote the entire review to beat up the movie! As far as your request about not remaking movies, please address it directly to the Kannada movie makers. By the way, you can also include Tamil movie makers in that request. I don't think they do any better movies in Tamil anyway.

Newcomb, When you remake a movie from some other language, comparisons are inevitable...Why are you guys doing only remakes ?? Make some original movies once in a while (like the brilliant cyanide), nobody will compare. As for the quality (both screenplay and technical), kannada movies are decades behind Tamil in all departments of film making.

Its realy a good note from Newcomb, about the critics, I wonder how can a person who hardly seen a Kannada movie can compare the quality of Kannada movie, as saying Kannada movies are a decade behind the Tamil movies!!!!???, its clearly mean he never seen a Kannada movie. Its better who watches both Language movies can campare the each other and it is invitable but othervise it is stupidity.

You are making assumptions here, friend ! I'm a non kannadiga, but have learnt the language for being here in Blr (I am proud of it), and watch kannada movies as well. (I'm not a tamil, btw, I'm a mallu). I haven't seen a movie in kannada as technically sound as any Mahendran/ManiRatnam/Shankar movie, or musical scores, as good as the ones given by Raja and ARR except one amruthavarshini here, and a mungaru maLe there.... I don't see quality movies such as "nAyi neralu"/"cyanide" all that often either. I see only poorly made remakes. I have all reasons to complain.
RE:Rediff editor pls take note!
by Murgesh on Sep 17, 2007 04:45 PM
well shankar.. agree with you on most of the points. i myself is kannadiga and i watch almost all southern language movies. Agree - number quality movies in my industry were quite less few year back. it got improved only this year..particularly 2007- we saw some really good kannada movies and excellent music in some movies - great going.
Now - i don't know why someone should compare kannada and tamil movies. I am a great fan of kamal, mani, arr...what is wrong in admitting that? doesn't tamil industry give duds? every industry has bad movies and also great movies. we should know which one to watch and appreciate. Gues- time to comeout of this regionalism and learn appreciating things around.

Rightly Said,,,,,during Rajkumar time it was the Kannada film industry which rocked over tamil or other languages...Yes Tamil industry is decade ahead of films containing belly dance, item songs and some no realistic stunts.. I agree to this..
RE:RE:Rediff editor pls take note!
by shankar Ramanathan on Sep 17, 2007 02:07 PM
you complain about it and try to imitate the same by remaking it :-)
I don't know at what point in time was kannada movies were superior to tamil. Pls substantiate...Find out the number of remakes from one side to the other...that will tell you the truth.
RE:Rediff editor pls take note!
by Newcomb on Sep 16, 2007 05:21 PM
Shankar,
Why stop at Kannada, you may as well say Tamil movies do better than ones made in Hollywood. Nonsense! Some movies are good while others are bad, some are remakes others are original. Applies to Tamil movies as well. Just watch them and don't compare.

comparison with original was inevitable when you remake and that is quite healthy as well. Nothing wrong with that comparison. There are couple of instances, remake versions comes out better and in most cases original remains better. In this particular case, Uppi has done a great job. His acting was superb. I have seen both version and i feel there is hardly any difference.
And coming to remaking issue - it is good as long as you take all required rights from original directors/producers. and every industry does that.
Kannada industry has changed a lot in last 2 years. Good to see lots of experimentation going on. Finally we have many talented new comers as well. Particularly 2007 has been excellent for this particular industry - many good and original movies coming out of talented directors. Imagine small movies like Munggaru Male made out of just 1.5 Cr collecting 50 Cr.. great going.. hail good movies :)
