'Mungaru Male' album a mega hit

Films may come and go, but "Mungaru Male" will remain the topper among Kannada albums, it seems. The top five Kannada albums are:

1. "Mungaru Male" - The film's songs, set to Mano Murthy's music, are on the lips of most Kannada film fans. "Anisuthidhe yaako einu", "Araluitidhe" and "Mungaru" are so popular that the audio is selling like hot cakes. The Anand Audio Company has now sold close to 200,000 CDs.

2. "Duniya" - The film is completing 100 days shortly and the audio sale has been showing an increasing trend every week. "Kariya, I love you" is the top song of the album.

3. "Hudugaata" - The success of "Mungaru Male" has turned actor Ganesh into a new box office star. "Hudugaata", in which he plays the male lead, is having a good time in the audio market as well. Jassie Gift, the Malayalam music director of the hugely successful film "4 The People" has retained the tune of "Lajjawati" for the movie.

4. "Pallakki" - Guru Kiran, who has been having a rough time, can heave a sign of relief because this audio is doing slightly better than all his other albums.

5. "73, Shanthi Nivasa" - The audio had some good initial sales because the film is directed by actor Sudeep who had earlier made the hugely successful "My Autograph" with the same music director (Bharadwaj). In particular, "Geeya geeya" is popular.
