Hostel Hudugaru Bekagiddare (2023)
Fun loaded entertainer
Hostel hudugru bekagiddare is a well executed film right from the promotions. The length of the movie does not affect the flow of film and is well executed. The camera work is brilliant which has elevated the simple storyline into a fun film. Performance of all the characters is good and utilized well with ample space for everyone. Rishabh Shetty and Pavan Kumar cameo did not really help significantly for the elevation or up the ante of the movie and is forgettable. A good movie after the worst first half of the year 2023 needed for kannada film industry. This movie is worth the penny and can be watched by family audience.
Lucky Man (2022)
An enjoyable emotional ride with God's presence
A beautiful couple story blended with a touch of comedy, love, divine intervention packaged neatly. Puneeth's presence on screen haunts everyone and the dance performance with Prabhu Deva is one of his last on the silver screen. Krishna, Sangeetha Sringeri, Roshni Prakash, Nagabhushana, Sadhu Kokila, Rangayana Raghu and sunder raj have performed well. This movie is a family entertainer with comedy enough for a family audience to spend good time and witness appu at last in a commercial movie. The music and background score is decent enough to carry the movie with few songs. What a coincidence watching the interval scene elevating appu post his death.
Lootcase (2020)
Entertainer of 2020
Awesome entertainer pulled of by good cast. Kunal and rasika acting is commendable. A gripping fun filled comedy drama and one of the best movies of 2020.
Mufti (2017)
Shivanna in New Avatar!!
Mufti is one of the most awaited movie of Shivanna along with Tagaru in 2017. Both the trailers seemingly stepping up Shivanna in new Avatar. The combo of Murali and Shivanna sets the screen on fire with an excellent BGM, cinematography and brilliant acting by both the lead actors. The movie is made in right pace building up to the climax without unnecessary songs which is a plus point. One would feel that the movie carries the Ugramm style of making but the concept and screenplay sets a different tone. Who else than Shivanna could have played the role of Bairathi Rangal with an apt dressing sense, body language and subtleness in acting? This should be one more landmark movie waiting to take KFI to the next level. The negative points would be the unnecessary inclusion of comedy, love scenes and dragging the sentiment of brother and sister. The highlight of the movie is BGM and new Avatar of Shivanna giving goosebumps for which I rate 10 out of 10
Operation Alamelamma (2017)
Fun all the way
I had huge expectations on this movie being an entertainer from the initial teaser launch. Simple Suni has nailed this movie to perfection. His screenplay and writing has been strong enough to uphold this movie with a limited resources. Rishi, Shraddha and other casts have done justice to their role as required. The background score along with comedy and suspense make this thriller movie more enjoyable. There are not much songs but are played apt to the requirement and music is good. One can see the creative cinematography used during the fight scenes and close up shots.To this day I could see people thronging into theaters to watch this movie multiple times and I saw it twice. Rating 10 out of 10 as the movie is a clean entertainer.
Hebbuli (2017)
Sudeep as a Para commando.. Nailed it..!!
After the much hype and being on the list of most anticipated movie for weeks on IMDb, Hebbuli released with a bang on target. The movie had created a buzz with its teaser and make over of Sudeep for this role. This movie is a classic-commercial hitting the right chords of all type of audience with classic emotions and high voltage action sequences. Sudeep in the role of para commando has nailed it and proved his versatility as an actor and he has carried the whole movie on his shoulder. The music and songs are apt for the movie and is composed well. The cinematography is excellent too especially the sequences in the Kashmir area and in the songs. The expectation was that the screenplay should have been much tighter for this revenge story. The performance from other lead roles are appreciable and Ravichandran delivers good. The production values look commendable for a Kannada movie. Verdict: 10 out of 10. Hebbuli strikes the chords of audience with a classic-commercial entertainer with Sudeep carrying the entire movie on his shoulders.
Chowka (2017)
Chowka!! Made with lot of passion
Chowka, 50th movie of Dwarkish productions seems to have been produced with such passion to make it big and bringing in an ensemble cast with 4 leading actors & actresses and multiple technicians. Has this resulted in a big outcome on the silver screen? Definitely, yes, the movie has everything we can expect from a typical commercial movie while still showing the class elements of emotions and message to audience. The transformation of the movie from romantic to emotional to patriotic genre is just amazing which some people cannot digest. Though, the movie is lengthy (178 min), the narration and screenplay is gripping. Tharun Sudhir as a debutante director as shown lot of promise to the future of Kannada film industry like his brother Nandakishore. The songs are soothing to hear with good music and lyrics. Most surprising thing in the movie is Kashinath's acting which has to be applauded who has never been seen before in a supporting role like this. However, challenging Star Darshan's cameo role steals the show. Overall, the performance of the entire cast is good and have been used appropriately. Verdict: It is evident that Chowka movie has been made with lot of passion from Tharun Sudhir, Dwarkish and ensemble cast with tons of talent.
Jaguar (2016)
High Voltage Movie
Jaguar, debut movie of grandson of former Prime Minister HD Devegowda. Starting with the trailer, the expectation was huge and the main highlight was the stunts matching Hollywood style. It is a typical commercial flick with a routine story. However, I loved the movie for the fact it has been carried well until end with a tight screenplay. The production values are high and first in Kannada movie industry matching other Big Industries of Indian Cinema. Nikhil has acted reasonably well and shows his energy of improving a lot in future movies. With a big cast of Tollywood & Sandalwood actors, beautiful locations one can see richness in every frame. The music has justified what is required for the movie. The main core of the movie is stunt which can be lauded. I have never seen stunts performed in Jaguar in any on the Indian Cinema until today. Full marks for the action sequences. Verdict: A routine story but impresses with richness and sets benchmark for other commercial movies. 9 out of 10.
Mukunda Murari (2016)
A story to be told
It was already exciting and much hype created awaiting the combo of Sudeep and Upendra, legends in their own areas of acting and direction respectively. I hesitated watching this movie at first as it was a remake. However, even i felt that the movie explains the concept which has to be reached to all audience. The reason for me watching is to watch the delivery of dialogues in the role of Mukunda. I feel that the movie has done the justice to the original movies with two super heroes sharing the screen. Upendra as usual with his knack of dialogue delivery captures the audience and Sudeep manages just well with the role of Murari which is quite difficult being a god. These type of movies do not require a extravagant cinematography and is just apt for the concept. The music as well was not so significant and Arjun Janya provides what is required. With the spree of remakes by Nanda Kishore, he justifies his ability to present it pleasingly. Verdict: Very good effort in remaking a movie which is a story to be told. 9 out of 10.
Santhu Straight Forward (2016)
Its Yash all the way!!
Santhu Straight forward is a commercial movie with right ingredients put together. It is a reflection of how a Big star can occupy the complete screen space and give a complete entertainer. This is due to fact that Yash provides a complete package with dance, action, comedy and charisma which Sandalwood has missed in quite a few years now. Though the movie has a very basic story which we have seen multiple times, the screenplay is just good. The punch dialogues, comedy sense and Yash, Radhika duos make us to watch this movie. All the songs are composed very well and choreographed level with good locations. V Harikrishna is back with his music. Radhika as always give justice to her role without any doubt. Shaam and other supporting actors have performed well. Ravishankar creates that charm once again with his entry at the end of the movie. Verdict: The movie has all the content to spend 159 minutes without boredom and no need to comment on the shortcomings. 9 out of 10 for its entertainment value.
Neer Dose (2016)
Out to Out Entertainer!! Typical Jaggesh Style
Neerdose movie is an out to out entertainer with a typical Jaggesh Style. The trailer alone had created a lot of buzz with double meaning jokes. The movie is shot with limited characters and budget. It is intense with non stop dialogues and is fast paced without going out of the plot. Coming to the plot, the movie does not have a story but the intention of telling a moral to audience has been crafted well. Jaggesh with his one liners and expressions attracts the audience. Even Dattatreya, Haripriya and Suman Ranganthan have used the witty one liners at ease and provided justice to the character. Anoop Selin's music can be appreciated as always with his unique capability of adding value to the Class movies. Coming from Sidlingu fame, director Vijaya Prasad has shown his capability of understanding the pulse of audience. Looking forward to his upcoming directorial ventures on what he has in his store. Verdict: This movie is a typical Jaggesh movie making use of his ability to deliver witty one liners and expressions to bring laugh to people. 10 out of 10 for its sheer entertainment value.
Rama Rama Re (2016)
Simple movie with non-hyped execution!!
Great to watch such good making in Kannada film industry in recent times. Though it looks a simple movie but the depth of emotions, meaning and narration is excellent. Often these kinds of movies are best ignored due to their unique dimension and non commercial factor. However, time and again it is proved that Kannada audience promotes movie with good content than the musical or out and out commercial flick. The portrayal of each character in its liberal sense have done justice. The journey set out on the move gives new direction throughout the movie becomes intense from the beginning of second half until the end. BGM is excellent as deserved by the movie. The locations chosen are the unexplored places of North Karnataka which adds fragrance to the movie. "Kelu Krishna" song will definitely impress the audience. This movie is set to win awards and accolades and its best deserved. Verdict: A thought provoking move and needs support from the audience to support budding directors to show their mettle. 10 out of 10
Vaaranam Aayiram (2008)
Milestone movie of Surya's Career
I like Suriya because of his willingness to perform challenging roles than the action movies. Vaaranam Aayiram is one of his best performances and he provided full justice to the role. A romantic drama movie well executed by Gautham Menon with a soothing music from Harris Jayaraj. All Songs are good especially "Adiye Kolluthe" and "Ava Enna" songs are excellent to hear. Excellent performance by all the leading ladies and have shared equal screen space doing justice to the role. Cinematography is apt to the movie without deluding from the plot. I especially love the sequences with Suriya and Sameera in the United States which makes me watch it again and again. The only issue is about the length of the movie and it should have been shortened to keep this romantic story more enjoyable. I would always wish Suriya to accept new roles which defines his talent as an actor unlike the commercial "Singam" series. Verdict: Milestone movie of Suriya in his career which proves his talent as an actor which is a must watch. 10 out of 10.
