Its time for deciphering some movies

Namaskaragalu,

After identifying a few kannada words, I feel the time is right for deciphering some titles of famous kannada movies.
You must have always seen some poster or the other that proclaims the name of a Kannada movie and wondered what it means, here is a humble attempt to break down the same.

Mungaaru MaLe : Monsoon Rain : A movie that ran for a year in PVR
Apthamithra : Close/Best Friend : A remake of a Malayalam movie that was to be later remade in Tamil as “Chandramukhi”
Milana : Meeting/Union : A movie trying to match the year run of Mungaaru MaLe
Yaare Neenu Cheluway? : Who are you beautiful lady? : Now please don’t go around telling this to all who are applicable
Mussanje Maathu : Sunset Words (Is an word to word translation) : This means words spoke at Dusk
Veera Kannadiga : Courageous Person of Karnataka : A person who is from Karnataka identifies himself as a “Kannadiga”
Arasu : King : A old word that means “Raja”, yes “Raja” can also be used in this context
Jothey Jotheyalli : together : This is a phrase that can be used to mean lets walk together (hand-in-hand)
Anubhava : Experience : A cult classic movie
Gaalipata : Kite (made of paper) : Yes we heard the name of this film and its title song at our CFP

Inthi,
Manuswath
