The Kannada film industry, also known as Sandalwood, seems to be going through a dull season in 2024, with only a handful of big star movies hitting the screens so far. After the success of “Karataka Dhamanaka” starring Dr. Shivarajkumar and Prabhudeva, the industry has been waiting for another blockbuster to grace the screens.
However, the wait continues as only a few star-studded big-budget ventures have been released, with most of the focus being on experimental and newcomer films. Movies like “Blink,” “Shakahaari,” and “Chow Chow Bath” have impressed audiences with their unique content and making.
As the Lok Sabha elections and IPL keep audiences occupied, upcoming releases like “Ramana Avatara,” “Choomantar,” and “Kangaroo” are set to hit the screens in May. These films are expected to bring some excitement to the industry, with fans eagerly anticipating the re-release of the Puneeth Rajkumar starrer “Anjani Putra.”
Meanwhile, top Kannada actors like Daali Dhananjaya, Dr. Shivarajkumar, Upendra, and Duniya Vijay are busy shooting for their respective films. Fans can look forward to the release of “Kotee,” “Bhairathi Ranagal,” “UI,” and “Bheema” in the coming months.
Despite the lack of big star movies, the Kannada film industry is buzzing with activity, and audiences can expect a mix of experimental and commercial films to keep them entertained in the months to come.
