Hi I just read the swades review.Kishori Ballal’s Character ‘Kaveramma” actually lived in Mysore whose son never returned from London forever.She lived independently and played Foster mother to many children.She finally left us 1992.In Swades Kishori Ballal played Kaveramma.But the Original Swades was called ” Vapasi” which I produced in 1995 where in Ashutosh Gowariker Played Mohan Bhargava(Sharukh Khan) and Malavika acted as Geetha.We registered the story in 1996 as Des Pardes,the Des and then finally Swades much before any body else ever thought of NRI as a Character.Dr.Shivaram Karanth never wrote the story with NRI as a Character.Chigurida Kanasugalu is based on the screen play by Nagabharana and Jayanth Kaikini partly based on Marali Mannige by Dr. Karanth.Ashutosh Gowariker’s Screenplay of Swades is based on Mahatma Gandhi’s Bharth Darshan and Self Rule(Panchayath Raj) and Non Violence in Lagaan. In Chigurida Kanasu the Hero comes from City()Delhi like in thousands of Films and Stories to his village to his Grandma/Grandpa..etc. It is out of Jealousy amongst Kanndigaas that they don’t want to give credits to any other Kannidiga.Welcome to a stranger. You know what I mean.We Welcome foreigners to buy our land also. I and you with Indian Money cannot compeit with these strangers that we love to Hug.Swades has influenced many thousands to take up rural developement work. Pl all of you should start writing stories emerging from your own contradictions and invest money to influence a readers and viewers. That will be a great leap forward. If it seems like something done before, read shakespear onwards and you will know that all plots are done with. Just see if you can create new character in your story.Keep trying. you are bound top succed. Regards M.G.Sathya 00-91-9845010043

[Disclimer] what i heard from a friend: 1. kishori ballal’s character’s name is kaveramma ( kannadiga name !) 2. yes! even the script writer is a kannadiga (MG Sathya).. [/disclaimer] IFF, it is true that it is a story based on chigurida kanasu, its a shining example of how kannadigas get ripped off whereever they go. not that we are any less talented than anybody else, but we usually dont make enough noise to be noticed. Arrgh!! can you imagine the same happening to a story taken from some other language. pride need not be chest thumping vareity, kannadigare!!, “swaabhimaana” and “abhimaana” is enough!!
