Unfortunately, I never saw any movies by him (atleast not on purpose).
I’m sure he was a great man – but 7 articles about him!! A bit too much don’t you think!

I think it is 12 APRIL 2005! Rajkumar died on 12 APRIL 2006.

Yella OK. How come nobody from the Rajkumar family was to be seen during Vishnuvardhan’s final journey?

@Dheeraj: It is a pity that you haven’t watched Vishnuvardhan’s movies. Let me just tell you that movies like Naagara Haavu, Muttina Haara, Bhootayyana Maga Ayyu, are in a class of their own – they are a zillion times more classy and entertaining than the crap that lesser mortals churn out year after year. And that is why we mourn the loss of such great talent. To top the talent, he was an immensely decent guy who captured the imagination of the Kannada nation. If some else writes another article about him with their perspective of the versatile artist, so be it. If you can’t stand it .. then you probably don’t belong in this forum.

@Dheeraj,
You are free to go gallivanting the web for whatever you please if you do not like what is a heartfelt emotional outpouring of a great son of the soil.

ಈಗ ರಾಜ್ ಮತ್ತು ವಿಷ್ಣು ಇಬ್ಬರೂ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಎಲ್ಲಾ ವಿವಾದಗಳಿಗೂ ದಯವಿಟ್ಟು ತೆರೆ ಹಾಕಿ ಇಬ್ಬರ ಆತ್ಮಗಳಿಗೂ ಶಾಂತಿ ಕೋರಿ, ಇಂಥಹ ಸಾರ್ಥಕ ಪುರುಷರು ನಮ್ಮ ಕನ್ನಡ ನಾಡಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಮತ್ತೆ ಹುಟ್ಟಿ ಬರಲಿ ಎಂದು ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥಿಸಿ. ಮತ್ತೆ ಮತ್ತೆ ಸತ್ತ ವಿಷಯಗಳನ್ನು ಕೆದಕಿ ಕೆದಕಿ ಸಮಯ ಹಾಳು ಮಾಡಬೇಡಿ.

Why is the title like “The Kannada constellation is now two stars less”, point is where are these kind of stars nowadays?
