Kannada cinema, also known as Chandanavana,[3] is the Indian film industry based in the state of Karnataka where motion pictures are produced in the Kannada language. The Kannada film Industry (sometimes metonymously referred to as Sandalwood) is the forth largest film industry in India after Hindi cinema, Telugu cinema and Tamil cinema by box-office performance. As of 2017, the Kannada film industry based in the city of Bengaluru produces more than 190 films each year.[4]Kannada films are released in more than 1250 single screen and multiplex theaters in Karnataka and most of them are also released across the country and in the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, UAE, Malayasia, Japan, China, Kenya, South Africa, Nederland, Holland, Mexico, Pakistan, England, Russia, Germany, Brazil, Bangladesh, Nepal, Srilanka, Burma, Singapore, Australia and other countries.[5][6]

Early history


In 1934, the first Kannada talkie, Sati Sulochana,[14] appeared in theatres, followed by Bhakta Dhruva (aka Dhruva Kumar). Sati Sulochana was shot in Kolhapur at the Chatrapathi studio; most filming, sound recording, and post-production was done in Chennai. In 1949, Honnappa Bhagavathar, who had earlier acted in Gubbi Veeranna's films, produced Bhakta Kumbara and starred in the lead role along with Pandaribai. In 1955, Bhagavathar again produced a Kannada film, Mahakavi Kalidasa, in which he introduced actress B. Saroja Devi.[15]
