K.N. Venkatasubba Rao

SHIMOGA: The content, quality, commitment, investment and marketing patterns of Kannada cinema and television serials, and the responsibility of those concerned came in for criticism at a seminar on "Cinema and television" here, on the concluding day of the 73rd All India Kannada Sahitya Sammelan.

Vice-president of the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce V.H. Suresh said that despite problems, Kannada cinema industry had produced quality films between 1960 and 1980. With the estrangement of learned writers from the industry and the advent of business-oriented financiers, the industry was forced to accommodate tailor-made stories for non-professional purposes.
