The Kannada movies produced these days are so meaning less, very poorly scripted, directed and produced despite having good directors. In Kannada they say “Haleyadalla Bangara” that means “Old is Gold”. Oh boy! It is horrible to watch some of these movies with youngsters in the family. I relish the old movies and miss it, they had meaning to the story and well scripted with good screen play. One thing I have noticed is yester year actors like Dr. Rajkumar, and Dr. Visnhuvardhan, movies are so good and there are no one currently to fill-in these shoes. I feel like I lived in that moment of the movie. Some of the movies I particularly liked are Hombisilu, Bandhana and Mathad Mathad Mallige. I also liked Dr Raj movies especially historical ones like Babruvahana, Mayura and Kaviratna Kalidasa.

Directors in the olden days had some social message in the movies. These days the movies are so dull, that I had to leave our living room while watching with my dad who watches it for a laugh. My dad imitates these characters craziness. I think these days even a good actors are made to act in lifeless roles just because directors have different agenda. The movies in recent years have the same story line and silly song sequences and plots. I have also noticed there are some offbeat movies which are really good example; Beru, Naayiya Neralu and Dweepa (kannada).

Movies that were released in 80s and 90s did fairly well. Films that starred Nag Brothers and Ramesh Arvind, are the few good examples. Among the directors I know are Puttanna Kanagal, Girish Kasaravalli and Girish Karnard, they directed very good scripted stories that even today people of my generation like watching with full family around.

Few good Kannada movies released lately ran on an average reviews, like Mr and Mrs. Ramachar. Getting good review is very hard, despite efforts put in by the production team it all depends on the screen play and the direction. I partic

Kaviratna Kalidasa (transl. Poet Kalidasa) is a 1983 Kannada-language historical drama film based on the life of Kālidāsa, a renowned Classical Sanskrit writer of the 4th Century A.D.

Plot

The kingdom's chief minister wants his son to marry the king's daughter, Princess Vidyadhare. When he expresses his wish to the king, he is ridiculed. Instead, the king orders him to search for a "Sakala Vidya Paarangatha" groom for his daughter. Vowing to take revenge against the insult, the minister goes in search of a foolish groom.

Kalidasa, a humble shepherd is shown rearing his sheep. Convinced of his stupidity, the minister charms Kalidasa to accompany him to the palace, so that Kalidasa can marry the princess. Coached by the minister, Kalidasa excels in the tests conducted by Vidyadhare (Jaya Prada). The minister is shrewd enough to teach a key sentence to Kalidasa. If he can't answer a question, Kalidasa must utter "heluvudakku, keluvudakku, idu samayavalla" ("This isn't the right time to question or answer.")

Vidyadhare is fooled by Kalidasa's brilliance and marries him. However, the truth comes out during the first night. Shattered, Vidyadhare locks Kalidasa in the palace temple and gets him to demand "vidyaabuddhi" (knowledge and wisdom) from the goddess Kali. In a mystical scene, Vidyadhare loses consciousness, Goddess Kali appears and blesses Kalidasa with vidyabuddhi, who composes the Shyamala Dandakam s
