Tribute to Writer ,Director Nagathihalli Chandrasekhar 607

Tribute to Writer-Director Nagathihalli Chandrasekhar April 27, 2020 Today, I remembered another interesting film personality from the Kannada Film Industry – none other than screenwriter and director Nagathihalli Chandrasekhar. In his more than three decades of film career, he has worked with all the leading actors, technicians, and music directors. His contributions are certainly worth mentioning. Known for his powerful scriptwriting and direction, he has received many awards for his creations. Though he has many films to his credit, I’ve only seen two of his films: America America and India vs England. In the earlier film, Ramesh Aravind played his role very well. America America featured beautiful cinematography by Sunny Joseph, while his recent film, India vs England, was handled excellently in both script and direction, delivering a powerful message to the audience. Stalwarts like Anant Nag, Sumalatha, Prakash Belawadi, Vashista Simha, and Manvitha delivered strong performances in their roles. The soft-spoken and versatile legend Anant Nag portrayed a memorable character. The pleasing cinematography by the trio Satya Hegde, Will Price, and A.V. Krishna Kumar is another highlight of the movie. India vs England is one of the most sophisticated films I have enjoyed recently. I have been repeatedly writing in this column that whoever does a good job in any field should be recognized. Today, I am very happy to pay tribute to this award-winning director, Nagathihalli Chandrasekhar. K. Ragavan 27-4-2020 --
