Gagana - Kushboo Starrer - Kannada Movie (1999)

I was, and is a die hard fan of Kushboo for the only reason being her innocent face.  I liked her in only three movies in Kannada.

The first being Gagana, opposite the ever smart Ananthnag,
The second being Hrudayageethe, opposite the stylist    Vishnuvardhan
The third being Abhijit, a dabba movie starring Eternal Police of Kannada movies Devaraj


Directed byDhorairaj Bhagavan
Produced byG.R. Krishnan
StarringAnant NagKushboo SundarLeelavathi
Music byRajan Nagendra,
Release date(s)1989




In the movie, Gagana, she plays a naughty gal with a gal next door image, there is no reason, why anyone crave for more in her acting skills, and a innocent face.


She is playful, she will make Srinath (His name in the movie is "Srikanth" hahahahah) run around bringing plenty of problems to him and to her mother.


The first half of the movie is hillarious and also, you will tend to appreciate and drool over her innocent acting, and facial expressions


The second half turns bit serious, she acted maturely in the second half, giving stiff competion to ever reliable Ananth Nag.


I observed and appreciated following notes.


  • The beautiful, the innocent acting by Kushboo through out the movie
  • Silent, but effective and intense Ananth.
  • The supportive role by Srinath, you will pity about him whenever Kushboo brings problems to him
  • Effortless direction by Dorai-Bhagavan, One of the best movies by them
Be playful, be innocent that depicts characterisation of Kushboo in first half
Be determined and run towards the target with equal intensity shows her acting in the second half.


P.S: I have a hardcopies of photo album dedicated to her, courtesy my life time buddy (Satish Kumar JM), whose family was in to movies, he gave me memorable snaps from Ranadheera, Shanthi Kranthi, Taaligagi....which am preserving even after close to 15 years.  A big salute to him.
