Scene - 1 The daughter is down with fever. She wants to take a nap on the lap of her mother. Her mother is an industrialist. Her father too has no time. They hire a nurse to take care of their daughter – the urge to grow fast and make name and fame deceive the affection of parents. Corrupt in affections!

Scene 2 - An MLA of those days was carrying Mysore Silk Saree, Mysore Pak and Mysore Jasmine to his bosses in New Delhi to get his work done for the locality. Now an MLA goes his boss in New Delhi ask him to get ready a plot in the heart of city for multi storied building for him. Corrupt system!

Scene 3 - A CBI chief explains to his son in those days he was sleeping on the footpath in Malleswaram and hardly any vehicles. The son replies now the traffic, pollution is so high that he took 40 minutes to cross the main road in Malleswaram. Corrupt environment!

Scene 4 - The situation in central Jail is no different. Those who do not have money to fight their cases are still locked in the prison. Corrupt administration!

Intelligent and upright KAS officer E.Channagangappa explained the above scenes. The situations came in front of the eyes of media that attended the muhuruth of his film 'Soundarya' Kannada film at G.V.Iyer Studio at Ramohalli near Dodda Aladhamara on the outskirts of Bangalore.

How an ordinary simple family lives in this clumsy atmosphere? This is the question doing rounds in the minds of director Channagangappa who has written the story, screenplay and dialogues for the film. Ganapathi Prabhu (Dharmasthala), D.Ramachandra, R.Govindaraju and H.G. Raghavendra (Kengeri) are the producers of this film. Hamsalekha scores the lyrics and music while R.Giri is the cameraman of the film.

In addition to it the beauty of Bangalore has lost or increased with the IT and BT coming up rapidly in Bangalore is the other element the director touching in his third directorial venture. The quick speed of growth is explained. Earlier C'gangappa has directed 'Karimaleya Kaggatalu' and 'Nannaseya Hoove' Kannada films.

The title of the film is 'Soundarya' but the beauty what the director talks about on the screen is the beauty of life and our Bangalore.

In the given situation how the moral values, economic status crumble for an ordinary family is explained. Ramesh Aravind, Sakshi Shivanand and Baby Shreya (of Colgate fame) form a simple family that faces the trauma. There is Rahul Dev the trouble shooter Mafia don in the film. Avinash playing the Swamiji role informed the bureaucrat.

Congrats from Chitraloka for Channagangappa for his thoughts.

RAMESH ARAVIND

After 'Amrutha Varshini' I have another prominent role to play. I am not talking too much and the role is touching. Director Channagangappa has done the story board for the film. The entire film is available in the format of a comic book. This helps every artiste and technician. He had taken nearly two months and worked on this concept it seems said Ramesh. There will be clarity and it will be of big help to all from story board he opines.

IT'S MY REAL LIFE – SAAKSHI SHIVANAND
The beautiful lass Sakshi Shivanand is coming back to Kannada after 'Thandege Thakka Maga'. The mafia connection in the film of course is real for this actress. In one of the cases she got tied up in a property deal in Hyderabad. She had to fight to get it to her side. A social activist has helped in this case remembered Saakshi Shivanand.
