Karnataka Ratna Dr Rajkumar

Your portrayal of an innocent shepherd

was the role you were best adored

With sam elan you played the lord

and the ferocious king with a sword.

You were in every Kannada lovers heart

emperor of films, language and art

You were illiterate, but polite and smart

synonymous with Karnataka from the start.

You made us all feel proud and great

of our culture, language and the state

Never succumbed to the political bait

You are the greatest actor to date.

Dr Rajkumar was a Kannada movie actor, who played a major role in creating the identity of newly formed Karnataka state, through his apt use of Kannada language and Kannidiga lifestyle in all his movies. He is my favorite actor and will remail till the end.

Superstar Rajnikanth

He is an Indian film actor

ordinary looks, dark colour

With thick mustache and curly hair

he is called king of style and flair.

I first saw his movies as a kid

mesmerised me for surely he did

With his comedy he would entertain

on screen and our hearts he would reign.

People like him for his simplicity

his prescence is like electricity

Rajinikanth in true sense you are

the one and only real superstar.
