The power star Puneeth Rajakumar films 'Arasu and Milana' gave him the regular 100 mark and also earned roughly Rs.20 crores of rupees in the year 2007. Among the heroines Pooja Gandhi, Amoolya and Rashmi earned laurels. Directors Yogaraj Bhat, Soori and S.Narayan remained in the limelight for the terrific results of their films. It is a wonderful year for music director Mano Murthy, cameraman Krishna and Satya Hegde. It has been a debacle for all the senior actors and actresses. The similar was the situation in 2006.

The result of 'Lava Kusha' yet to be ascertained not only for Shivarajkumar but also for Upendra as his other films like 'Parodi, Masthi, Anatharu' bombed. The similar is the situation for Darshan, Sudeep, Dhyan, Premkumar, Vijaya Raghavendra, Murali, Ramya (except Arasu), Rakshita, Radhika, Rekha (except Hudugaata).
