Ganesh’s recently-released Bombaat is breaking all his previous box office records. Released in 80 centres all over Karnataka and in countries like America, Australia, London, Saudi Arabia, Canada and New Zealand, the film is doing roaring business, according to reports. The film has also broken Ganesh’s previous record in terms of the number of shows in a day.

One calculation revealed that 300 shows of Bombaat are screened in a day. Rockline Venkatesh, who produced the film on a budget of Rs. 5 crores, is very happy at the audience turnout in theatres. There are several highlights in the film, including the presence of the lovely Ramya, excellent cinematography and the changed image of Ganesh from romantic hero to action hero.

Another film which has a smooth run in theatres is debutant director R. Chandru’s Taj Mahal, starring pretty Pooja Gandhi and Ajay Rao. This tragic film has found its own audience and Chandru has become very popular. Another film (a teenage drama), Moggina Manasu, had a dip in its collection as new films like Taj Mahal and Bombaat have released. The Kannada box office will see the heat building up with two more big films Arjun and Anthu Inthu Preethi Banthu releasing this Friday.

Piracy Raid in S. P Road

In one of the biggest raids in recent times, over 5 lakhs pirated VCDs worth Rs. 7 crores have been confiscated by the Bangalore police on Sunday afternoon. The raid went on for 5 hours; 13 places on Silver Jubilee Park Road were searched for pirated CDs.

Mohan of Anand Audio said that this is one of the biggest raids on pirated CDs. He added there are at least 40 such piracy operators and only 13 shops were raided by the police. He pointed out that if the police had conducted raids in all the shops, at least 15 lakhs VCDs would have been found. He said that the piracy industry in Karnataka is worth 150 crores. He urged the KFCC to come forward to congratulate the Bangalore police in their act which will help in improving collections in theatres.

On Saturday, Niranjan, distributor for Tamil Superstar Rajinikanth’s Kuselan in Karnataka, had called a press a conference and demanded a raid on the shops which sell pirated film CDs since Kuselan CDs were also found in the market. The Bangalore police reacted positively to it and conducted raids, much to the joy of the Kannada film industry.

Majestic to go

Transport authorities have begun work on the Rs 700-crore Inter Model Transit Centre project at the Majestic Bus Stand, also referred to as the Kempegowda Bus Terminal.

The building, expected to be sixty-six storeys high, will be the tallest in the country, according to transport officials.

Work on the project has begun as the plan has been approved by the authorities. But Bangaloreans are not happy at the thought of losing yet another of their heritage landmarks.+

Public in dark

People's representative groups are furious that public has not been informed about the plan. They are gearing up to move court.

"The project cannot be undertaken just like that. A concrete and comprehensive plan has to be prepared. It has to be debated and then has to take off using minimum space in Majestic. The public is not aware about the development," said former Bangalore mayor P R Ramesh.

"It's wrong to start work without bringing it to public notice. As Kempegowda bus terminal is a unique structure and an important landmark, they can't demolish it. Officials have to take people into confidence, which they haven't. If that is the case, we will move court," said Lakshminarayan, former deputy mayor, Bangalore.

Proposes plan

The transport ministry has given their consent for the proposed plan which involves the construction of more than sixty floors. The process of shifting depots began last week.

Three designs for the construction of the structure have been proposed. They are: one like Ali Burj Hotel in Dubai, Double Tusk design and Shikara design.

"We have started work on the project after consultations with the public representatives. Shifting work has begun. Construction will also begin after the structure shape is finalized.

'Work has begun'

"We are having talks with private companies, who are interested in taking up this initiative under PPP (public private partnership)," said M A Saleem, director (security and vigilance), KSRTC.

Initially KSRTC will shift BMTC and KSRTC depots to four other places in Bangalore. A part of BMTC depot has already been shifted to Mysore road.

The layout

While 1,43,000-sq feet has been set aside for public purpose 36 lakh sq feet is earmarked for commercial use. The iconic tower will come up in the northwestern side. Shopping malls and cinema theatres will be constructed in the western side of the building.

Metro and Monorail stations will come up in the fifth and fourth floors. Third and second floors will serve the parking purpose and first floor will be BMTC terminal above which KSRTC terminal is proposed.

Seven floors above the ground floor will serve as offices to many government departments.

Final plan

"The plan is finalised. The new terminal is designed under densification of corridor concept, which supports seamless travel. As it has been finalised, the work has begun," said M N Shrihari, advisor to BMTC.

Commercial Street

Commercial Street is one of Bangalore's busiest shopping localities. You'll find a lot of garment, hosiery and textile stores here. You can also find a variety of shops selling shoes, art supplies, stationery, novelties, jewellery, travel kits, sports and general goods

M.G ROAD

M. G. Road is also one of the busiest roads in the city and is lined on one side with retail stores, food outlets and restaurants. It runs from Trinity Circle at one end to Anil Kumble Circle at the other. It has many office buildings, shops and theatres. It is also a home to a large number of buildings and banks.

Presently it is being improved and prepared for the long-awaited Metro Rail line that connects the eastern part of Bengaluru with the west.

Many Indian cities (including New Delhi, Mumbai, Pune and Kolkata) have an M. G. road, and in general there is no linkage between these various roads (except that in many cases, these happen to be the busiest part of the city).
