A Ganesh fortnight in Kannada cinema
By R.G. Vijayasarathy

Bangalore, July 11 It has been a glittering fortnight for Kannada star Ganesh, two of whose films are ruling the box office.

The top five Kannada films are:

1. "Mungaru Male" - No other film has taken the premier position of this Ganesh starrer that was released six months ago. It is the biggest hit in the history of Kannada
cinema.

2. "Cheluvina Chiththaara" - This is another Ganesh starrer whose collections have surpassed all expectations. Directed by S. Narayan, this movie is a remake of the Tamil hit "Kaadal".

3. "Duniya" - The film is reaching its sliver jubilee run shortly and the collections have proved to be extraordinary even in the interior centres.

4. "Santha" - Though the Shivraj Kumar-starrer is not a big hit in the interiors, the collections in urban centres have been fantastic. It has proved to be a profitable movie for
producers and the distributors.

5. "Sathyavaan Saavithri" - This trendy and glamorous comedy has become a favourite with the young and family audience in urban centres like Bangalore and Mysore.

'Mungaru Male' music holds Karnataka spellbound
By R.G. Vijayasarathy

Bangalore, July 11 The album of "Mungaru Male" is the listeners' top choice in Karnataka this fortnight.

The top five Kannada albums are:

1. "Mungaru Male" - The album stays at the head of this list, six months after the film's release. Mano Murthy's magical music has penetrated into the deepest corners of
the State.

2. "Cheluvina Chiththaara" - This is yet another Mano Murthy album. The film is a remake of the Tamil hit "Kaadal" and the tune of one song has been lifted from the original.
But this has not taken anything away from the huge success of the album.

3. "Hudugaata" - The album has become a huge hit though the film is not a big box-office success. "Stylo stylo" and "Eno onthara" are the top numbers. Malayalam music
director Jessie Gift has used the tune of popular song "Lajjawatiye" in this film as well.

4. "Pallakki" - "Bidu bidu kaddu nododanna" and "Kannalloo neenene" have become highly popular numbers. If the film had been a hit, the Guru Kiran album would have
done even better.

5. "Sathyavaan Saavithri" - Guru Kiran's music has proved catchy. "Mister sathya" is the top song.
