![]() ![]() The very next year, I made a film about a serial killer, Utkarsha, which also had no songs or fights. I even won awards for the film and it would be fair to say that Tarka made me who I am today. It did well and people started talking about the film and me. My first film, Tarka, was a thriller that had no songs and no fights, was set in one house and had just three characters. I made films without songs, especially item numbers, which I considered unnecessary. There would also be the mandatory item number. For instance, when I started my filmi journey, most films were family dramas with songs, dance and action. They were considered ahead of their time back then. My brand of films was different, in the sense that they were class but not art house. Excerpts'įilms are broadly classified into mass and class, with class often being considered art-house cinema. In a conversation with Bangalore Times over piping-hot coffee during the final DTS mastering of the film, Sunil Kumar speaks about the ups and downs in his career, what kept him away from Sandalwood, and his upcoming film. But after a string of commercial successes and a few flops along the way, the filmmaker went missing in action, only to emerge now, ready with his comeback film, Re. Kannada film audiences will remember director Sunil Kumar Desai's 'different' brand of cinema in his films like Tarka, Utkarsha, Beladingala Baale, Nammoora Mandara Hoove and Sparsha, among others.
