Nagarahavu

Directed by Puttanna, Vishnu almost breathed fire in each and every frame, which is the kind of treatment required for his role.  Puttanna was always criticized before the movie that, he is good at directing females oriented movies, he broke that myth with this movie. It was a perfect launching pad for Vishnu, he was re-christened as Vishnuvardhan in this movie, and later he became the undisputed king in his own way.

Gandhada Gudi

This movie proved fatal for the rest of his life for the unwanted reason, but he proved he can ignite the screen even with the negative role.

Bhoothayana Maga Ayyu

This is one movie which was picturised 100% in outdoor location, as village hyda he was a picture perfect in the role.  He took over from where he left in Nagarahavu.

Vijay Vikram

This is the movie he was in a double role, but it will be remembered more for his negative role, he was a terror in that role

Makkala Sainya

He excelled very well in comedy role, his timing, mannerisms, expression were superb.  It is a complete entertainer directed by yesteryears beauty the actress Lakshmi

Sahasa Simha

Based on the novel, this movie gave a new lease of life to Vishnu as a action hero, the movie will be remembered for three counts.

·         Amazing fight sequence, you will love vishun as a action hero in this movie

·         Superb songs by SPB, and music by Sathyam

·         This is one movie where almost all the villains of that era acted. Sudhir, Vajramuni, Toogudeepa Srinivas, Dheerendra Gopal, Arikesari, Prabhakar, Shakthi Prasad, Udayakumar to name few.

Indina Ramayana

Hilarious Comedy, the dialogues by Vishnu, and his co-stars will tickle your rib nicely

Bhandana

It gave an refreshing image as a lover boy other than an action hero tag which was tagged to him till this movie.  Superb songs by Chi, RNJ and music by M Rangarao is haunting till date.

Madhuve Madu Tamashe Nodu

If you want to laugh in the difficult moments of life, this is the best medicine.  Laugh riot with a serious message about dowry system.  Vishnu, Arathi, Dwarki, Shivaram, Umashivakumar, Lokanath, C R Simha, Satish will make you forget the worries.

Jeevana Chakra

Movie knowns for vishnu’s acting in matured father role in the second half. Worth watching for his emotions, dialogue delivery and his style.

Karna

Best combination of father and son role by Ashwath and Vishnu.  Nice songs.

Malyamarutha

His role as singer is worth watching, nice picture with wonderful performance by Vishnu and Saritha.  Music by Vijayabhaskar takes you high.

Suprabhatha

As claimed by Vishnu in his interview, the movie very close to his heart.  This movie has only 7 actors almost the length of the movie, Vishnu, Sushasini, Maanu, Srividhya, Baby Gal, and Petrol Bunk Set & the house on the ghats of Chamundi Hills. Wonderful songs by SPB, Chi.Udayashankar & Rajan Nagendra Combo, superb photorgraphy and direction by Dinesh Babu his first movie in kannada.

Rayaru Bhandaru Mavana Manege

Malayalam movie remade in kannada, it is the movie which brought Vishnu and Dwarki together after a break of close to decade.  Vishnu’s performance was superb.

Nishkarsha

The action hero Vishnu resurfaced again, tight screenplay and direction by Suni Kumar Desai. Indian version of Die Hard is an edge of the seat thriller.

Laali

This movie is known for his matured father role and also Mohini’s controlled performance. One more flick by Dinesh babu which is good in his own right.

Nishabdha

Action hero along with plenty of dogs, good movie by dinesh babu.

Yajamana.

This is one movie told more about positive attitudes, the viewers always expects something tragic, but it proves the otherway.  You think positive, it happens, this is the basic formula for this movie.

Apthamitra

How a nice story can be re-told in commercial way this movie proves that mantra.  P Vasu’s master screenplay, supported by reunion of Vishnu and Dwarki, amazing performance by late Soundarya all makes this movie a class apart.

Aaptha Rakshaka

Sequel to Apthamitra, in the second half, Vishnu sends chill down the spine.
