Actress Neettoo was a star attraction at a seminar yesterday that discussed this year's biggest Kannada hit, Manasaare (Heartfelt). During the open house discussion, Yogaraj Bhat, director, defended himself against a critical speaker by saying no one watches the arthouse cinema of Girish Kasaravalli.

POINT OF VIEW: Neettoo

Film critic Shekharpoorna praised Manasaare for treating the subject of madness without veering into religion. The seminar was organised by Samvaada.com, and attended by producer Rockline Venkatesh, movie buffs, and the cast and crew of Manasaare.

Manasaare starred Diganth, Neettoo and Aindrita Ray.
