2016 Sandalwood Star Hero movies fate.

2016 Sandalwood Star Hero movies fate.

Puneeth: Dodmane Hudga Sep 30
Sudeep: Mukunda Muraari 
             Kotigobba-2 Aug 12
Darshan: Jaggu Dada July 10
Vijay: Dana Kaayonu: Oct 7
Yash: Santu Straight Forward Oct 28
:) Nikhil Kumar(aswamy): Jaguar Oct 6
Ganesh: Mungaaru Male: Sep 10
             Joom July 10
Jaggesh: Neer Dose Sep 2
Shivaraj kumar: Santeyalli Ninta Kabeera : Aug 12
Upendra: Mukunda Muraari 
                Kalpana 2 - July 15
Vinay Rajkumar: Run Antony July 15
Ravichandran: Apoorva July 10
Ananth Nag: Godhi banna saadhaarana maikattu


Godhi banna saadhaarana maikattu got good word of mouth.
Rest are Hit for producers & Stars & TV Anchors.
Unsure, how many of us have seen it.


Rajkumar always used to say, Story is important, not the Star.
His joke was "If king claps, hey come here, some one must be there to come? If only King is shown & no one answers him, Where's the respect for king?".

1996-99 was better period in Kannada Filmdom. Directors got respect & were seen as Stars.

Sunil Kumar Desai stood out with Beladingala baale & Nammoora Mandaara Hoove
Umakanth gave anuraaga sangama.
Nagabharana gave Janumada Jodi.

Vishnuvardhan, Ambarish, Ravichandran, Shivarajkumar, Movies that relied on Star power failed miserably.

Ramesh became a bankable star. With lot of hot-scenes, Prakash Rai's naagamandala too became hit. (Ravichandran took that hot-scenes in Malla to a new level :) )


I hope these string of flops forces film-folks to chase Good-Stories (Subject in their jargon)

It is high time, people who can direct a good commercial film like Upendra, Naganna, Yogaraj Bhat, Soori, all join hands for a day-wide workshop & discuss.

No amount of hand-wriggling about non-issues like Reality Shows run by Stars, Theatres, Dubbing, will help.

RBI Statement - Don't hoard Cash.


http://www.rediff.com/business/report/dont-hoard-cash-asks-rbi/20161113.htm

‘The Reserve Bank urges that public need not be anxious; need not come over to banks repeatedly to draw and hoard; Cash is available when they need it,’ the central bank said in a statement

When I need cash, I need to go to bank...No where else we have 10,20,50 & 100 Rs Notes.
 RBI has this tactic of forcing us to read between the lines.

Cash is available, when they need it. ==> I doubt there's not enough cash & hence, we are made to stand in Queues, until enough notes are printed.

It's a tactic from ages. Stay unprepared, endup creating panic & asking to stay calm.

ATM were disbursing 1000, 500 & 100 (occasionally 50 Rs), but now they aren't doing it.

ATM's dispense 40 notes maximum, Now that 100 Rs is the maximum currency, 40 notes == 40 X 100 = 4000 is the max withdrawal amount.
