'Sirivantha' secures top spot among Kannada films

Bangalore, Oct 22 (IANS) 'Sirivantha', which released on the eve of Dussehra, climbed to the top of this list on the eve of Diwali.

The top five Kannada films are:

1. "Sirivantha": The film did not have a great opening, but has steadily improved its collections and is now on top of this list. The Vishnuvardhan-starrer is proving to be a big hit with the female audience.

2. "Aishwarya": The film is still on top in the city centres, while it is not doing so well in the B and C centres. The collections have exceeded Rs.10 million in the Bangalore distribution area. Deepika's glamour and Upendra's performance are the film's main attractions.

3. "Jothe Jotheyalli": The film has become a surprise hit in Bangalore and Mysore. The collections continue to be good even in the fourth week of the film that features Prem and Ramya.

4. "Sevanthi Sevanthi": The film has completed a silver-jubilee run, and has now shifted to the B and C centres where it is attracting crowds. It is a winner all the way. Yet another hit for Ramya, the film has given a new lease of life to Vijaya Raghavendra.

5. "Ravi Shastry": This film is a remake of K. Bhagyaraj's "Idhu Namma Aalu", released over a decade ago. Despite boasting of a big star cast, including Ravichandran and Sneha, the film has not done well enough.
