May 4, 2012
Mangalore, May 4: Much awaited Tulu movie 'Amet Asal Eemet Kusal, an adaptation of William Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors, hit the silver screen on Friday.

Set in the backdrop of Tulunadu, the movie has been made to suit the local audience.

At the Central Talkies in city, where the movie was released Director Ranjan Raghu Shetty, said: “The film gives prominence to comedy. The entire theme of the Shakespeare's play has been localized. The characterization and the treatment of the story were carefully done to make it more appealing for the audience of Tulunadu."

The film was shot at different locations in Falnir, Dakke, Kaikamba, Kadri Park, Padavu Choutara Mane (a Tuluva ancestral house) in Bikarnakatte and a few places in Mumbai.

In a first in the history of Tulu cinema two lead actors have don dual roles in Amet Asal Eemet Kusal. The Comedy of Errors tells the story of two sets of identical twins who were accidentally separated at birth. Noted Tulu actors Naveen D Padeel and Jyothish Shetty will essay the roles of identical twins.

Ranjan, who had bagged the gold medal in Nokia Mobile Film Making Competition, said that he made the film as he was attracted towards Tulu language and culture.

The star cast includes Bhojraj Vamanjoor, Saikrishna, Sadashiva Ameen, Naveen Shetty, Gopal Salian, Udaykumar Uppinangadi, Bhaskar Adyappadi, Umesh Ameen, Sudheer Kottari, Ranjan Bolar, Akshatha Marla, Sukanya Rai, Saritha Shetty and Shilpa Kotian.

Vijayakumar Kodialbail and M Saikrishna have written the dialogues. While Akash Prajapathi from Mumbai did the music, Tulu poet and actor Shashiraj Rao Kavoor wrote lyrics.

Raghu Shetty had done a course in direction at Subhash Ghai's Whistiling Woods.

Bengaluru, Jul 7: Former Health minister and Congress MLA UT Khader has alleged that the state government has purchased coronavirus equipment for more than twice the actual price.

"Rs 500 sanitizers have been purchased for Rs 900 and Rs 9,000 has been paid to Rs 1200 for the thermal metre by the government. Instead of asking to allow him to work, Mr B Sriramulu, being health minister he must work for the people," he said.

He said that three months have passed since the pandemic started but the state government is still struggling to send ambulances to needy patients.

"Instead of ambulance it is sending final rights vehicle to needy people," Khader said.

According to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, there are 23,474 coronavirus cases in Karnataka including 13,255 and 372 deaths.

Bengaluru, June 10: The Department of Primary and Secondary Education of Government of Karnataka today ordered a ban on online classes for children from KG to class 5.

The decision was taken following a report based on the report submitted by director NIMHANS, recommending online classes only above the age of 6 years and also following the complaints from several parents about online classes conducted by private schools even for kindergarten kids.

Briefing the media soon after the meeting with department officials, S Suresh Kumar, primary and secondary education minister said, "We have taken two major decisions today. The online classes for LKG, UKG and primary classes should be stopped immediately."

Even collecting fees in the name of online classes should be stopped, said the minister. "We have already issued a circular about it insisting that schools not collect fees in the name of online classes and also requesting schools not to increase fees for the 2020-21 academic year considering financial constraints of several people due to the COVID-19 pandemic," said the minister.

The department, however, also discussed how to engage children during this period as there was no clarity over the reopening of schools for the 2020-21 academic year. "We have constituted a committee to prepare guidelines on how to engage students and increase their knowledge. The committee is headed by Prof. MK Sridhar," he said.

Before taking this decision, the department had three rounds of discussions with various experts, including Prof. MK Sridhar, Prof. VP Niranjanaradhya, Dr John Vijay Sagar and other departments, including the home and health departments.
