Sep 22, 2005 R.G. Vijayasarathy, Sep 22



Bangalore, Sep 22 (IANS) In Kannada cinema, "Jogi" tops the current charts, with its unprecedented success at the box office.


1. "Jogi": The film, released Aug 19, has collected around Rs.30 million in four weeks. It has emerged as one of the all-time super-hits in Kannada cinema. It remains to be seen if its collections will surpass those of earlier hits like "Yajamana" and "Janumada Jodi".


2. "Auto Shankar": The film's collections have amounted to Rs.7 million in the first week, thanks mainly to Upendra's charisma. The film has not been able to get releases in Davanagere, Tumkur and Bijapur because of some theatre problems.


3. "Namma Basava": This Puneet Raj Kumar-Gauri-starrer was released along with "Auto Shankar" Sep 9. This led to a fierce competition, but nevertheless both the films have been able to hold on.


4. "Deadly Soma": The film's initial collections, despite stiff competition from "Jogi", have been good. Even the remake rights of the film have been sold to a Telugu producer for a fancy price. Audithya, the film's hero, has now put his two flops behind him.


5. "Gowramma": This Upendra-Ramya-starrer has completed 100 days at a few centres.
