Chigurida Kanasu I Kannada Film Story I Shivarajkumar

Shankar (Shivaraja Kumar) is a Delhi-born and bred just he lives a life anyone would envy with a doting father (Anant Nag) and a loud and annoying mother who cant even say 'I love you, my dear son' without making it sound like a threat. He also has a younger brother (again, a nameless entity) who is shown to be a pilot. While Shankar is happy with where he is in life and where he will be, somewhere deep in his heart something tugs at him all the time telling him this is not where he belongs. Shankar's Delhi-based girlfriend is a Kannadati (Vidya Venkatesh) and does a pretty neat job teaching our Hindi-speaking friend some Kannada. While this jolly little couple has their head stuck in the clouds, Shankar's mom is making arrangements to have him married. Reluctantly Shankar agrees to see the bride-to-be. During this little scheme-based event, he realizes the letter B in his name stands for 'Bangaadi' which is either a person or a town of some sort. Shankar finally finds a ray of hope in this name. To add more oxygen to his yearning heart he discovers he is a Kannadiga too! That moment his father tells him "Speak in Kannada, my son. It has been so long since I have heard that language.", a shiver runs through a true-blue Kannadiga as we see ourselves mirrored in Shankar's tears. One of the most brilliantly shot scenes in the movie. Anant confesses he walked away from his roots since it, according to him, betrayed his father (a Shivaraja Kumar look-alike, duh!) and no longer wishes to be a part of it. Shankar, on the other hand, has found new light. He will not let anything stop him from going back to his roots. For the Rest listen the audio
