A film is mostly a 80s Kannada Movie if it satisfies one of the following axioms :-
0. Stereotype #0
==================
A god is shown after the certification of the movie.A shloka by PB Srinivas or SPB.
1. Stereotype #1
==================
Police Senior Boss (like Lohitashwa) telling the Hero (like Devaraj or Shanker Nag)
Inspector Pratap , nimmanta NISHTAVANTHA POLICE ADHIKARAIGALU irodrinda ne, namma samaajadalli nyaaya neeti innu irodu...Keep up the good work , my boy! Naavu police aagi Dasayya antha GOMUKHA VYAAGRA rannu nyayalakke tarabeku
"Dasayya" referred in the above sentence is mostly a rowdy MLA or an MP.He usually has a pervert/spoilt brat son in his late 20s addicted to drugs and women.
2. Stereotype #2
==================
Hero(like Dr.Rajkumar or Ambarish) goes to a hifi party where "drinks" are being served.One wealthy man offers the hero a drink.Hero says :-
Sorry sir, nanage idara ABHYASA villa. And takes a torrino or goldspot with a straw
3. Stereotype #3
==================
Oh No!! Damsel in Distress!!!
It is a horrible time for the heroine! She is being chased by the villain and her garments are torn by the villain. She shouts the same old cliched dialog :-
Kaapaadi...Yaardru Kaapaadi
When the villain actually grabs her, the shout becomes,
Bidu Nanna
The hero bashes up the villian and later offers his suit, to cover her up.
He is the chivalrous man.
4. Stereotype #4
==================
Hero (like Dr.Rajkumar or Tiger Prabhakar) goes to a BAR or PUB, to track the baddies ...As bars and pubs are regular hangouts for the rowdies!
Our Heroes are actually police officers or CID officers(not CBI) dressed as dancers to shake a leg in the cabaret song.....Hero says :-
Hello Ms Rosy to the female cabaret dancer.
The question which bugs me in this aspect is :- WHY DID VAMPS HAVE CHRISTIAN NAMES like Rosy or Lucy instead of Annapurna or Savithri ?
5. Stereotype #5
==================
Whenever a hero or a heroine park their car , they always park the car just near to the building (or in front of the building)....But in reality :-(((((....you have to search FOR MANY ROADS to find a decent place to park your car !!! This is true in Hollywood movies also!
6. Stereotype #6
==================
Even though there are n-opponents for a hero in the action scene, the opponents keep waiting dumbly to be beaten up by the hero...
7. Stereotype #7
==================
The BEST cliched scenes in the climax is:-
To tie the mother of the hero, the heroine , child etc etc and put them in cages......The hero first does the initial bashing and finally the police arrive (the background music for the police ALWAYS has to be sidedrum....You cannot have a pungi here, I know)
8. Stereotype #8
==================
Ending:-
a)Shubham (if it is a comedy)
b)the tagline/theme/inference of the movie(if it is a tragedy).
Current Music : Unknown - Dhairya Ve Himalaya

oh u so forgot the dishum dishum background sound effects during fights...
Dishum Dishum is also mandatory !
Its not just "dishum".
It is "ay-dishum".
and its not "well done my boy"..its "well done mai baaay"
some memorable lines are
"dushtha shikshane, sishtharakhaneye nanna jeevanda guri"..and the heroine is fida.
Dhairya ve Himalaya; Gellu ni adhairyava. I have totally forgotten (about) this song. More details needed.
You forget the Snake stereotype. What about awesome Bell-Bottom trousers and bohemian printed shirts? Or am I taking it to the 70s with those?
I miss those classics.
man! that was funny. I think even NTR flicks satisfy these :P
annapurna, the cabret dancer :))
meTTalu hattodu ileyodu, profile view toriskonDu, tiger specific atava yellarigu nah?
mamesh...superrr!!maja banthu
especialy
>background music for the police ALWAYS has to be sidedrum....You cannot have a "pungi" here
what abt dance and songs (other than cabaret)? there has to be atleast one song shot in KRS..
and one more aspect is that of comedians (like dwarakish) helping the hero during the climax action scene by fighting in a silly way like hitting at the nose/tickling/running arnd an object (a tree or a drum if it is the villains hideout..i dont know y villains need drums) with the baddie following him and ofcourse you know what happens after that..
My all time favourite (from the million movies I saw on DD) was "Bangarada Jhinke". The cave and the whole mystery behind it captivated me.
During my train journeys, I would look out for such hillocks in the distance and visualise the whole story happening there.
Watch the movie, if you haven't done so :-)
I guess your point number 6 also holds for Hollywood movies as well. (eg. Matrix Reloaded)
Hey, I am disappointed that there is no mention of the VILLAIN of that generation - Vajramuni. :((
Another addendum to the spoilt brat of rich dad is a dialogue when he fools around with a girl, and his dad tries to use money to wiggle out. "Namage hana beda...nin magan hena beku!" :)
I would like to make a small statement here !!!. The stereo types mentioned here not only holds good for kannada movies. It exists in almost all Indian Movies, also as mentioned by chilli in hollywood movies too :P
