Film made in the Kannada language comes from what is known as the Sandalwood film industry; just as Hindi films emerge from Bollywood. While most of the films are made in Kannada, there are a few exceptions to films being made in Konkani and Tulu, making Kannada cinema an important aspect of Indian cinema. The most noted actor to emerge from Kannada films was Dr. Rajkumar. He was well known for his captivating voice and versatile acting abilities. It might sound paradoxical but nevertheless true that the quality of majority of films produced here in Kannada over the years have failed to measure up to the high standard and expectations of the film-buffs of Bangalore who are known for their discriminatory taste for CINEMA. While other language films have been doing brisk business here our own films are seen languishing despite official props from the State Government by way of tax-concessions and subsidy. One of the interesting facts that you could investigate is the relationship of a Hindi movie to Soviet Union film industry in last century. You would find that they were closely related, especially if you look at it from Soviet Union side. Actually some of Hindi movie actors become great heroes in Russia those days. Raj Kapoor was adored by huge amount of soviet women for example. When he came to Moscow people recognized him on the streets. Bollywood and Soviet film industry have also made some films together in the past. More closer look gives you a feeling that Bengali film industry was very much connected to Russian cinema. Tarkovski, the great soviet movie maker, was a big example to lot of directors of Bangla movie those days and as I hear also today some student in Satyajit Ray Film Institute set his films on pedestal for themselves. If you watch Kannada movies online, you give yourself a chance to discover the rich culture that might not be so reachable to otherwise.
