Look at the zeal and zoom of Benkosri in retaining the film for 50 days and complete involvement of Prof Baraguru Ramachandrappa.

I have not retained the film by paying rent to Kailash theatre. After three weeks the film started earning the theatre rent. It is continued for 50 days. The inflow is increasing. For Tuesday morning show there were 240 watching Bhagirathi explained Benkosri. He also announced the start of three films – Ambegalu, Angulimal and Dove!

Banandur Kempaiah, chairman of Janapada Academy was the guest at the 50 days get together of ‘Bhagirathi’. He lauded the effort of Prof Baraguru, wished 100 days for the film and on the request of Prof Baraguru he rendered the song Mayadantha Male Banthanna….folk song.

Prof Baraguru Ramachandrappa thanked his six friends who created ‘Sadabiruchi Andolana’. They went to colleges to highlight about ‘Bhagirathi’. This has helped in getting more audience. We also offered rebate in the ticket price.

It is a time for introspection for art and commercial films. Sidda Madari would not pay results. We should go away from formula in both types of films as they call it.

Actor Ravishanker thanked Smt Baraguru Ramachandrappa for getting a role of a king in this film. My small ambition of mythological role fulfilled he said. Thara Anuradha, Vatsala Mohan, Cameraman Sandekoppa and Srikant were present at the 50 days get together.
