'Mungaru Male' may break Kannada cinema records
By R.G. Vijsayasarathy,

Bangalore, Feb 24 "Mungaru Male" is proving to be one of Kannada cinema's mega hits.

The top five Kannada films are:

1. "Mungaru Male" - The film's collections in the first 50 days in Bangalore alone are estimated at over Rs.12 million. Even in the Mysore distribution area, collections have crossed the Rs.4.5 million mark. This means that the film is a real blockbuster. It is still running to packed houses. Youngsters are watching it again and again.

2. "Jothe Jotheyalli" - The movie has made its producer richer by over Rs.20 million, according to trade pundits. It is expected to complete 25 weeks in at least four centres and is doing well even in interior areas where it was not expected to make a big impact.

3. "Arasu" - The star-studded film had a good opening and is doing well in major centres. But it is not running as well as expected in interior areas.

4. "Bhoopathy" - The Darshan-starrer, premiered last week, has opened well as it was released on a holiday. Darshan's films normally enjoy a better draw initially, but this one may not retain its appeal for long.

5. "Sixer" - The film is into its sixth week in major centres. This medium-budget production of Ramoji Rao of Usha Kiron Movies was the launch pad of Prajwal Devaraj, son of Kannada actor Devaraj. The film is attracting college students.

'Mungaru Male' can be Kannada audio of 2007
Bangalore, "Mungaru Male" is all set to become the biggest audio hit of the year.

The top five Kannada albums are:

1. "Mungaru Male" - The film has just completed seven weeks, but audio sales have broken all earlier records. All the songs have become hugely popular. Composer Mano Murthy has once again created musical magic with songs like "Anisuthidhe" and "Onde Ondu Saari". The title song and "Araluthiru" have become popular especially with youth.

2. "Jothe Jotheyalli" - The film will be completing a silver jubilee run shortly, and the success is attributed to the quality of the film's songs. "Oh, Gunavantha", "Barthaare barthaare" and the title song are hugely popular. Harikrishna has made a great debut as a music director.

3. "Arasu" - The album is selling well only because the film stars popular Puneet Raj Kumar in the lead. Music director Joshua Sridhar has benefited by its success.

4. "Ekadantha" - The film is yet to be released, but the songs are doing extremely well. Guru Kiran has scored again. "Bandal badaayi madhava" and "Na uppukaara thinno hudug" are among the chart-toppers. The album is expected to be a bigger hit after the film's release.

5. "Bhoopathy" - The audio was released two weeks ago. Since the film features Darshan and the music director is Harikrishna, who debuted with "Jothe Jotheyalli", the initial response has been good.
