Small budgets


In Kannada, nearly 70 films (20 remakes!) were released with a marginal success of 25 percent. Small budget films such as "My Autograph", "Jothe Jotheyalli", "Sevanthi Sevanthi", "Chellata", "Ajay", "Thavarina Siri", "Honeymoon Express", "Cyanide", "Sirivantha", "Hubballi", "Suntaragali" and "Kannadadha Kandha" were hits. Big budget films featuring superstars such as "Gandugali Kumara Rama", "Uppi Dada MBBS", "7 O' Clock", "Ramya Chaitra Kala", "Hatavadhi", "Julie", "Miss California", "Jackpot", "Pandavaru" and "Thirupathi" turned out to be damp squibs. Ten-year-old Master Kishen became the world's youngest director with "Care of Footpath". The prevailing trend is to remake successful films from other languages.
