MONTHLY ROUNDUP OF MAY 2006

The month May – known for blooming of May flowers did not bring gleeful atmosphere in the Kannada cinema industry. The only solace is the completion of 100 days of 'My Autograph' of Sudeep that is the only super hit film of the year so far. Darshan's 'Suntaragaali' crawled to 100 days in one theatre but that was negligible in the box office.
