Last Updated: 07.29 PM, Feb 21, 2024
At the start of February, there were reports of roughly 30-35 Kannada films releasing in theatres in just one month. There were 5 in on February 2, 6 on February 9, 10 on February 16 and another 5-6 this week. If you take the Kannada dubbed films also into consideration, chances are that the final figure could be close to 30 after all.
This week, ticket aggregator sites list 6 new Kannada films, but how many of them will actually get a decent number of screens will be known only late on Thursday night. Here’s a look at some of the films headed your way.
Mr Natwarlal
Thanush Shivanna is in the lead in this tale about the king of cons. Hunted by the police in crimes spanning several sections of the Indian Penal Code, the criminal not only remains an enigma but also elusive, earning him the title Mr Natwarlal. Can the cops nail him down? The film also stars Sonal Monteiro, Rajesh Nataranga, Sujay Shastry, Yash Shetty, among others.
For Regn
Debutant director Naveen Dwarakanath presents a tale of relationships and the importance of how it registers in a couple’s mind. Pruthvi Ambaar is paired with Milana Nagaraj, as a newly-married couple who then hit certain roadblocks. Can they overcome it or will it be too much for them?
