March 22, 2011

Mangalore, March 22: Tulu film 'Kanchilda Bale' produced by Kalabhairava Creations Bangalore is all set to release on March 25 at Puttur Mayoora theatre, Prabhath Mangalore and Kalpana theatre Udupi simultaneously.

Announcing this to media persons at Press Club here on Tuesday, Kumbra Raghunath Rai, Director and Producer of the film, said that 'Kanchilda Bale' is a film that examines the tradition of 'Bhootharadhane' in the context of conflict between two different generations.

Muttappa Rai, Founder of Jai Karnataka Kannada Association, his wife Rekha Rai and former Puthur MLA Shakunthala, have made guest appearances in the film, he said.

At the centre of the plot are members of a family who believe that they are descendents of a dynasty that ruled Tulunadu. All the women in the family have had only one daughter and therefore she becomes the sole owner of the property of the family ensuring that all of it remains within the family without getting divided. The family believes that the 'Bhootas' (deities) are responsible for perpetuating this state of things.

It is in this backdrop that a small child who can claim a share of the family property arrives from California, US, with her parents for the 'Bhootakola'.

Charithra Hegde, Kusalda Arase fame Navin D Padil, Aravinda Bolar, Saikrishna have essayed main roles in the film.

Director Kumbra Raghunath Rai had worked for the film 'Maaribale' 14 years ago which secured the best regional film award.

Sai Prakash, Navin D Padil and others were present at the press meet.

Nati koli saaru, fry, idli, vada and pongal on Siddaramaiah’s breakfast menu at DKS’ residence

Bengaluru: 'Nati koli saaru' (country chicken curry) considered one of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s favourites along with steaming hot idlis was on the breakfast menu at Deputy CM D K Shivakumar’s residence on Tuesday, according to official sources.

The spread also included 'nati koli' fry, vada and pongal, among other items, they said.

In an apparent show of unity, Siddaramaiah visited Shivakumar’s residence for breakfast, just days after the two leaders shared a meal amid a simmering power tussle in the state Congress.

Siddaramaiah drove to the Deputy CM’s residence in Sadashivanagar, where he was received by Shivakumar and his brother D K Suresh, who is a former Congress MP.

Suresh and Kunigal MLA H D Ranganath, a relative of Shivakumar, joined them for breakfast, which featured a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.

Speaking to reporters later, Siddaramaiah said Shivakumar had invited him during his visit to the CM’s residence for breakfast on Saturday.

Asked about the difference between the two meals, the chief minister said, "At his (Shivakumar’s) house it was non-veg, while at my house it was veg. He is a vegetarian, I am a non-vegetarian. I had not prepared non-veg. I told DK to get chicken from the village as you won’t get the original in Bengaluru."

Shivakumar said he had initially invited Siddaramaiah to his residence, but the CM had suggested visiting his place first and reciprocating later. "It was a vegetarian breakfast at the CM’s house on Saturday," he noted.

"Today, I invited him (the CM) to my house. He enjoyed the breakfast, which had his Mysuru taste," Shivakumar added. At this point, Siddaramaiah remarked that Shivakumar’s wife is also from Mysuru.

Saturday’s breakfast at Siddaramaiah’s official residence, held as part of efforts by the Congress high command to ease tensions in the leadership dispute between the two, reportedly included idlis and sambar, according to official sources.
