ಕನ್ನಡ ಚಿತ್ರರಂಗದ ಕೆಲವು ಮುಖಗಳನ್ನು ನೋಡಿದರೆ ಸಾಕು… ನಗು ತಾನಾಗಿಯೇ ಬರುತ್ತದೆ! 😄
ಟಿ.ಎನ್. ಬಾಲಕೃಷ್ಣ ಅವರ ವೈವಿಧ್ಯಮಯ ಪಾತ್ರಗಳು, ಮುಸುರಿ ಕೃಷ್ಣಮೂರ್ತಿ ಅವರ ವಿಶಿಷ್ಟ ಕಾಮಿಡಿ, ನರಸಿಂಹರಾಜು ಅವರ ಮರೆಯಲಾಗದ ಹಾವಭಾವ, ಶಿವರಾಂ ಅವರ ಸಹಜ ಹಾಸ್ಯ, ಎಂ.ಎಸ್. ಉಮೇಶ್ ಅವರ ಡೈಲಾಗ್ ಡೆಲಿವರಿ, ದ್ವಾರಕೀಶ್ ಅವರದೇ ಆದ ಕಾಮಿಕ್ ಸ್ಟೈಲ್ — ಕನ್ನಡ ಸಿನೆಮಾದ ಹಾಸ್ಯ ಪರಂಪರೆಯನ್ನು ಶ್ರೀಮಂತಗೊಳಿಸಿದ ಹಲವು ನೆನಪಿನ ಮುಖಗಳು ಇವು.
ಆದರೆ ಈಗ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆ ನಿಮಗೆ — ಇವರಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಫೇವರಿಟ್ ಯಾರು?
ಅವರ ಯಾವ ಸಿನಿಮಾ ಅಥವಾ ಕಾಮಿಡಿ ಸೀನ್ ನಿಮಗೆ ಈಗಲೂ ನೆನಪಿದೆ? ಕಾಮೆಂಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿ.

Some faces in Kannada cinema could make us laugh even before they said a word.
T.N. Balakrishna, Musuri Krishnamurthy, T.R. Narasimharaju, Shivaram, M.S. Umesh and Dwarakish each brought a completely distinct style of comedy to the screen — through expressions, dialogue delivery, timing and unforgettable characters.
Across generations, these actors became an inseparable part of Kannada cinema’s rich tradition of humour, giving us scenes and characters we still remember fondly today.
Who is your all-time favourite Kannada comedian from this list? And which scene of theirs still makes you laugh? Tell us in the comments!

For a long time, this channel was Radio Azim Premji University.
Over the past two years, something began to take shape.
One series — Noorakke Nooru Karnataka —
slowly started bringing people together.
We noticed what you chose to watch, what you stayed with, what you came back to.
And more importantly, we listened.
This space was always meant for stories.
But now, it feels clearer where those stories come from, and who they belong to.
So from here on, this channel becomes
Noorakke Nooru Karnataka.
A space for stories of Karnataka —
its people, its places, its many worlds.
ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಕಥೆಗಳು,ನಮ್ಮ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಕಥೆಗಳು
If you’ve been here, thank you for being part of this journey.
If you’re new, this is a good place to begin.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ಇಷ್ಟು ದಿನ ಈ ಚಾನೆಲ್ Radio Azim Premji University ಆಗಿತ್ತು.
ಕಳೆದ ಎರಡು ವರ್ಷಗಳಲ್ಲಿ, ಒಂದು ವಿಷಯ ನಮಗೆ ನಿಧಾನವಾಗಿ ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟವಾಗುತ್ತಾ ಬಂತು.
ಒಂದು series — Noorakke Nooru Karnataka —
ನಿಮ್ಮನ್ನೆಲ್ಲ ಒಂದೇ ಜಾಗಕ್ಕೆ ತರುತ್ತಿದೆ ಅನ್ನೋದು.
ಯಾವ ಕಥೆಗಳನ್ನು ನೀವು ನೋಡ್ತೀರಾ, ಯಾವವು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಜೊತೆಯಲ್ಲೇ ಉಳಿಯುತ್ತವೆ, ಯಾವುದು ನಿಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಮತ್ತೆ ಸೆಳೆಯುತ್ತಿದೆ —
ನಾವು ಗಮನಿಸಿದ್ದೇವೆ.
ಅದಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಮುಖ್ಯವಾಗಿ, ನಾವು ಕೇಳಿದ್ದೇವೆ.
ಈ ಜಾಗ ಯಾವಾಗಲೂ ಕಥೆಗಳಿಗಾಗಿಯೇ ಇತ್ತು.
ಆದರೆ ಈಗ, ಆ ಕಥೆಗಳು ಎಲ್ಲಿಂದ ಬರುತ್ತವೆ ಅನ್ನೋದು ಇನ್ನೂ ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟವಾಗಿದೆ.
ಹಾಗಾಗಿ, ಇನ್ನು ಮುಂದೆ ಈ ಚಾನೆಲ್
Noorakke Nooru Karnataka.
ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಜನ, ಜಾಗಗಳು, ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತಿ —
ಇವುಗಳ ಕಥೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಈ ಜಾಗ.
ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಕಥೆಗಳು, ನಮ್ಮ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಕಥೆಗಳು
ಇಲ್ಲಿವರೆಗೆ ನಮ್ಮ ಜೊತೆ ಇದ್ದಿದ್ದಕ್ಕೆ — ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು.
ಈಗಷ್ಟೇ ಶುರು ಮಾಡ್ತಿದ್ದೀರಾ ಅಂದ್ರೆ — ಸ್ವಾಗತ.

🎬 Welcome to Game Play Sport! 🎬
In this opening episode of Game Play Sport, hosts Rahul De, Kailash Koushik, and Arvind Bharathi BN, dust off old definitions and ask a simple question: what’s the difference between game, play, and sport? They also talk about:
Is India a Sports Nation or Just a Fan Nation?
Should Parents Put Children Into Institutionalized Coaching From Early Childhood?
Should Breakdancing Be Considered An Olympics Sport?
Game Play Sport is not just about what happens on the field. It’s about how we play, why we stop, and what these everyday choices say about the society we’re building.
Let’s play the game together! 🎉 #GamePlaySports #SportsShow #IndianSports #RadioAzimPremjiUniversity
