His first film ''Mani'' is a critically acclaimed film, winning critics appreciation and Four State Film Awards. The expectation from a newbie Filmmaker was immense. His next film, ''[[Ranga SSLC]]'' was just an average in the box office.

''[[Mungaru Male]]'', his third film, created history in Southern Film Industry.

''[[Mungaru Male]]'' (Monsoon Showers) ran for 464 days – first in any language to run for a whole year continually in a multiplex, beating the records of the biggest Hindi Film Industry records. It naturally brought him many rewards, awards and appreciations, including Nine State Film Awards (including Best Director and Best Film Award) and Four [[Filmfare Awards]] (Best Film, Best Music, Best Lyrics and Best Cinematography). The movie has been remade in all South Indian languages & Bengali. The rights for the movie to be made in Hindi has been bought by Shri. [[Boney Kapoor]].

From then on, he has directed eight films and has more often than not proven that ''[[Mungaru Male]]'' was not a fluke.

His next ''[[Gaalipata]]'' – Was a runaway hit again and as records confirm, it ran for 45 weeks. The movie won Three [[Filmfare Awards]] for Best Actor (Ganesh), Best Music Director ([[V. Harikrishna|V Harikrishna]]) and Best Lyricist ([[Jayanth Kaikini]]).

The movies that he has directed after ''[[Gaalipata]]'' are all box office hits.

''[[Pancharangi]]'' – His Home production movie created a new space for unconventional films within the commercial parameters. This too became a super hit movie.

''[[Vaastu Prakaara|Vaastu Prakara]]'' – His next release was yet another family drama, a movie produced under his home banner Yogaraj Movies. The film deals with beliefs people have in astrology and superstition and how it is being blindly followed overlooking reality and science. This movie won [[Filmfare Awards|Filmfare Award]] for Best Supporting Actress ([[Sudha Rani|Sudharani]]).

''[[Dana Kayonu]]'' – The film had created a lot of curiosity among the audience due its candid title. An unconventional film, with [[Duniya Vijay|Dunia Vijay]] along with [[National Film Awards|National award]] winning actress [[Priyamani|Priya Mani]] in the lead role. It received immense response from the audience and also from the critics. It was widely appreciated for its un-forgetful story, characters and setting.

''[[Mugulu Nage]]'' After ''[[Mungaru Male]]'' and ''[[Gaalipata]]'', this film was a comeback to the duo Yogaraj Bhat and Actor [[Ganesh (actor)|Ganesh]] after 8 years. This news has created a lot of buzz in the industry and audience. This movie was also liked by the audience once again.
