The sudden flood of good content Kannada movies !!

Whenever there is a discussion about south Indian cinema, it would often revolve around the other three languages and less on the Kannada cinema, but without any second thought, there are many great movies and great actors from Kannada cinema. Unfortunately, there has not been much acknowledgment for Kannada cinema from other language movie lovers and there are many reasons for it.

The above scenario completely changed from the past one or two years. There’s a sudden flood of great content Kannada movies that got the appreciation from the entire country. Kannada cinema surprised the trade and movie lovers across the country with one of the Biggest Blockbusters in that year “KGF”, the whole nation was in awe and it changed the perception towards the Kannada Cinema, but still, that was not enough. There has to be a continuous flow of good cinema irrespective of the budget scale.

Earlier Upendra’s movies used to get dubbed into other languages and in fact were huge hits. There have been many good movies in the past as well i.e.., before KGF and they got huge appreciation, there was ‘Lucia’ and ‘Thithi’ which were highly critically acclaimed, and then there was ‘kirik party’. The movie Kirik Party was a huge hit in Kannada and it was well-received by the youth irrespective of language, making it the first modern Kannada cinema to cross the border and to get appreciated by the other language movie lovers as well.

There are other movies called ‘Ondu Mottaye Kathe’ and ‘U-turn’ which even got remade into other languages later. So, till KGF there were many good movies but they did not get enough reception from the other languages movie lovers.

After the release of KGF, movie lovers started to check on Kannada cinema every now and then, and luckily there was a sudden flow of good movies like ‘Naathicharami’, ‘Gantumoote’ and ‘Kavaludhari’, which received good reception outside Karnataka after their entry in OTT. As OTT increased the reach of regional language cinema, the same got applied to the Kannada cinema as well. There are many Kannada gems on OTT which are being watched by audience of other languages as well now.

Then earlier this ear, there were two movies from Kannada called ‘Dia’ and ‘Love Mocktail’ which upped their game even more and made into the list of everyone favourite movies. As the good movies kept coming continuously, at one point of time the Kannada movie recommendations were very high and the discussion about those movies used to be regular.

Now everyone’s waiting for KGF 2 and the expectations are sky-high, all the movie lovers are now excited to see what Kannada cinema offers in the coming future.
