The Portal :

Started as a small venture in year 2000, Chitraloka.com is now a Mega Portal. One and the only comprehensive Portal for Kannada cinema industry, with daily updates of news, scoops, reviews, interviews, special features, personal profiles, database, photographs, stills, songs, wallpapers, contests and exclusive Micro-sites of upcoming films. In future it will also offers many services like Movie Ticket Booking, Audio and Video CD / DVD Online Sales, Content Support, Photographs Supply, Talent Hunt and many more... Chitraloka.com has proved its speed of operation and authenticity of news over the past years. The portal is rich with its archived information and photographs.

This portal is visited by all parts of the globe, particularly from India and USA. At the same time, it is really a notable thing that chitraloka.com has even reached the people of small towns of the home state - Karnataka. Result is that, Chitraloka.com today boasts of several thousand unique visitors, lakhs of page views and millions of hits every month.

The People :
There is not a big army behind this portal to manage and maintain it. I should be frank enough to say that, I am the only person... say, producer, director, actor, technician, light-boy and what's not!

But, I out-source some of the services from professionals. I take this opportunity to thank all my good friends who are helping me in running this site. I thank them profusely, because without them it might have been impossible for me to nourish chitraloka.com to this stage.

First person I should ever remeber is my father late K.S. Mallappa. He was the main inspire for me in starting this portal.

Let me tell you something about me also. I am basically a Cine-Photo-journalist. I am in this cinema field for last 15 years. Prior to that, I was a sports journalist for about 3 years. I have not only covered the simple film photo sessions but also have done some of the dangerous investigative photo assignments for few Dailies and Tabloids especially `Hai Bangalore’

Thanks to all these experiences, today I have understood Kannada Film Industry and luckily Industry also understood me very well. Hence, Kannada Film industry is highly supporting chitraloka.com. In fact, many film personalities are encouraging me to do a lot of things on this portal. Yes, I will do a lot many things on this portal. As a first step I have changed the design of the portal and added some more interactive sections. Many more things are in my mind. Just watch out for them.
