Age difference LOVE
6 January 2024
The movie is gripping from the start , the main leads and all actors acted as if its happening in front of you , direction , cinematography , bgm add jewels to story line of pure love towards comatose partner , the chronic capitalist side of neuro surgeons or perhaps forced to do so since it's a job. The attempt to recover a coma patient against all odds and stretching beyond the point , and then to take the decision.

The struggles in hospital rooms and becoming buddies out of the situation , consoling each other , feelings start to blossom despite the age diffrenece . The film relies on feelings as situational and how it can arise when they spend time together despite generational odds. Nadesrudhin and kalki have chemistry in this movie , which is superb since its steadfast real and bold .Both talk intimate and dance , and have some happy minutes in this total agony of having their comatose partners , and just don't know when they will recover, may be never but there is hope , and there is love too. Ending is uncertain what they will decide to embark on a journey .

10/10 , outstanding.

9 stars ! ( tussle betwean father's to save their respective daughter's )
18 October 2021
Saw this movie yesterday on tv , and its one of best scientific thriller movie ever . All characters stay in your mind full time and can see hard work they have put in . Actually such scientific theme movies are tricky to conceptualize and then pull it off , but these people have done tremendous job. M lucid drelam practitioners since eons, but this is not the reason i appreciate the film. The film itself delivers quality in screenplay , editing , acting , cinematography , character building. Pls watch it , you will like it . I give 9/10 rating ... The little bubly cutes ( daughters of protagonists ) are cuteness overloaded. Its actually emotions of fathers to save their daughter's .

must watch !!
2 February 2021
I give movie 10 stars !! , for his originality , splendid war scenes , legendary actors of kannada , and story from vantage point of suyodhana . The film gives an entirely different narratives as against overly glorified pandavas and once you see the movie instantly will feel suyodhana was right in his own perspective and exposes cunningness shrewd mentality of krishna . All in all no one was perfectly right , krishna had reasons so as suyodhana .

Scenes i cherished so much :

*self fermenting grapes and wine getting poured into invisible cup , suyodhana cherishing this drink in indraprastha ( watch this scene with glass of wine or any juice , you will get satiated )

* perfect patriarchal marriage betwean suyodhana and bhanumati , and her fondness to him ( likely even better looking than draupadi ) , and how suyodhana kidnaps her like true lover cum warrior . Girls do like when kidnapped and forced , shows the valor of the person.

*mace fight betwean suyodhana and bheema in the end followed by conversation between krishna and suyodhana , this gives glory to him and exposes agenda of krishna .

Every scene is perfect , those who follow traditional view of mahabharat may find this confusing and eccentric , but they must understand mahabharat has 1000 versions , and this one from vyasa poet .

Plus every actor suits the role , and all legendary kannada actors , acting is natural unlike in hindi movies even bheesha role is done by youth with six pack abs , this is utterly not needed. Warrior can be fat , not perfectly shaped and even old , so do not mock the age . Krishna portrayal is new and original , as he had cunningness , every face and move suits in this film perfectly .

All in all what we need to understand is pandavas were not right either , its very gem of a movie , please do watch

film with life lessons
25 January 2021
This film gave me best 2 hours of time , every camera shot of this movie has significance .It gives life lessons too , and at many scenes i can relate to this , symmetry between my life and this narration .

1. Honest and real relations can also start from Facebook chats

2. You expect too much about looks , but in the chase you get trapped into something which you didn't wish .

3.Break ups are not easy once you get attached to girls and there are feelings from both sides , once you forcefully move away its blackout and trauma is huge .

4. Both girls are dumped by their previous bfs , but i found fat girl is righteous as she was not acquanted with our hero "motte" , before she had bf . The other thin girl at colleges looks pro hypergamist , she has claudistine relationship with good looking men , she was woke only after realising his macho man was married .

5. This movie explains 'friend zoning ' splendidly , especially about sweet talking girls who come with some agenda . It takes an uneasy start for a successful romantic story . Looks again are needed but not compulsion , there are other variables involved . If you are average looking but girl enjoys your company , you still have the chance !!

Technicality direction , acting of every person is perfect , in line with what story relates to . I found name ONDU MOTTEYA KATHE , very unique then searched for literature , when watched full awestuck . This kind of movies always benefits our language , and keeps viewers integrity intact .

Haripriyas role was epic and it gives feeling of this must go on to part 2 , i can feel there is ceetain chemistry betwean chiranjeevi and villain herself hari priya .
24 January 2021
Haripriyas role was epic and it gives feeling of this must go on to part 2 , i can feel there is ceetain chemistry betwean chiranjeevi and villain herself hari priya .

Yesterday i saw this movie , it was slow start, then finally i was delited to see many twist and turns surprises . Storyline ia not usual , it has mix of lots of inter looping and carefully audited to give nail biting narration . As usual chiranjeevi acting is superb he always picks meaty and creative roles , and actress to haripriya what to say , her role as good looking charming seductive but monster role , enchanted me , i can still feel the vibes out of it , so much that i have the apettite of part 2 for this , will all villainous role ahe had i can feel some love can ignite just satiate hate she has for chiranjeevi .

Direction is above par , screen play ia superb . On improvisation i feel some over saturated comedy scenes could have been avoided , especially the inspectora role , it was kind of unrelated to the serious situation

loved the teen girl vs adult teacher romance
23 January 2021
What a wonderful movie , lets first analyse the storyline , teacher vs student romance ! ,we see enough films depicting romances among students in high school , but when teacher gets involved often people demonize it , this film shows how a middle aged teacher vs teenage student romance can be normal , practical and sexual . Here i give some credit protagonist skills in pampering girls , his existing wife was also once his student , this shows his taste for teenage girls , the way he pinches school girl during tution class is very seductive , rom com delight .

Coming to movie techincality master piece acting by all especially nawazudin siddique , screen play is too real , story line ia fresh , it feels as if happening in front of you , also entertains you with comedy scenes especially those two school boys , my best part would be teacher and student as contenders to win the heart of school girl , despite being average looking , married tag , and age gap , nawazudin wins the race , and cleverly convinces girl to be his lover .

Some romantic songs betwean them would have been even better , i give 9 stars

Its ok ok ... you can try it
7 January 2021
House horror exclavating to level of demonic flesh type entity , but should have moulded it better to give more horror. The house location looks in middle of town so this gives less horror , and female lead do not panic much , has patience or acting has to be improved . Male actor is good and doggy was fantastic , it creates more horror in the middle of movie and especially when shoes showing on floor , and when entity breaks in house it turns out be creature kind of movie , like wild animal entering the house !. Basically its some entity stuck at basement attick and has hatred for people living inside the house . All in all good movie , you can watch once ...

Guri (1986)

superb....
6 January 2021
Warning: Spoilers
It was morning and i was not well , had fever , this movie came in udaya movies . Mother watched it to pass time and i also joined , and very surprised at the quality and content of the movie , one of the gems of Dr Raj .

The film works like any Hollywood top class drama with romances , script is very tight , and direction acting is all top class . Infact my mother never likea or i can say never understands Hollywood movies but this movie brought close to that class . Hollywood style with taste of kannada genre .

Songs r also good and in climax Dr Raj bursting out from the theatre screen to ahoot mukyamantri chandru ia best scene in the movie ,has lots of emotions too.

Also we must appuad guts of producer for putting money into this movie , as we can understand this class of movie costs too much .

Now i fantasize about riding royal Enfield thunder and living the kife life of such badass action , bike can be seen everywhere in the film .

worth the watch....
6 January 2021
I was searching for some found footage horror as free my mind from personal life agony , after reading comment's thought of watching it and very surprised , even though its long but it held me onto nerve , horror gradually builds with good script of rimmaces in seluded house .

first as far lessons r concerned if gf or wife mocks you for being pushy or not gutsy , then never ever try to please her , film shows how it can be distaster just dump her and find someone else.

the film is very enjoyable , though bit slow to start but holds onto your nerves gradually , screen play direction , acting all r very good .

and on improvement , should have added some apparition across or inside house making it more goofy.

You love this film if you truly love someone !
30 April 2020
After i heard the promo of the song ' belakina ' in television , it drenched deeply in my heart and i was determined to watch this movie and i expecting some intense feelings , and it stood to my expectations , however with some surprises . The film takes you on a whole different journey and its very different from candy crush saga , and dwells more on emotional connect. In simple words , everyone expects their girl to be virgin but here hero felt sanctified only because girl is actually good from heart , trapped into flesh trade by someone close . So it should not be misunderstood as virginity does not matter , it matters however with exceptions . If girl was very into relationships by her own choice ( #MyChoice feminist type ) and had barrage boyfriends before this guy shows up , there would not have been any love ! and film /incident never could have happened !! .Its only because novelty ,looks and innocence of this girl , hero gets attracted .

Songs are very melodious and direction / acting / screen play / editing / narration is very apt but bit slow , and takes some time to drench you in , so you need to be patient . Here the choice the protagonist is very simple , he listens to his own heart , or i can say he has no other choice since there is already deep connect from both sides and there is no physical intimacy ( this being said girl is escort ) , isnt it very amazing ! , all it needs is a second to relaise her worth when she walks out of life , in simple words .The ending would have been made different and its not very clear they survived or not and i felt bit over dramatic , pimp could have easily arrested by police much prior to this bloody encounter in the last . The film gives you goosebumps in your heart, watch it if you truelly love someone !!.

The Hunter (IV) (2011)
9/10
The last scene made me cry...
30 April 2020
The last scene made me cry and understood the compulsions and humane connection due to lobby of chronic capitalism . The film soaks in legend of TASMANIAN TIGER , gradually becoming the reality , with a very skillful hunter and his bonding with deserted family in the woods . Right from start this film makes sense and every character is gradually improvised , and protagonists skills in handling plan and his execution , and again it was not solo hunting for months and months lonely in the woods , its like on 4 or 5 days cycle in the nearby forest close to city , hunter has privilege of staying in seluded house with unknown family and then go for hunting , plus the way he gells with families shows up skills to fix things like electric generator and kids getting attached to him , specially boy with secrets about tasmanian tiger which helps in peruse and girl kid who is so mature to her age , and her quest for finding his lost father in woods , and their mother , bathed and rehabilitated by hunter !! .

The stepping into woods and show of Tasmanian tiger , and his helpless and eminent shooting for kill , makes one cringe with horror and realise the mafia underbelly of pharma company and its vested interests . The glorified animal has shown his weaker side and how fragile it can be despite being made famous for its rarity , it was just another search for bread and butter where it gets killed ! . Hunter had reasons to kill but film portrays his humane side also , this movie makes your time fly and you never get bored and specially the scenes inside forest is too awesome and camera work , hardwork clearly visible . Direction and acting is above par , and on a improvisation aide they could have added more drama in the end , and some attempts of protagonist inside forest could have made as survival to stay alive .

Love and sacrifices .....
24 April 2020
I was searching for a romantic film deeply enriched with emotions and hardships , and here i am !! . This movie brought back the memories of THE BLUE LAGOON . It goes beyond the intimacy part , as it focuses on humane aspects of and beliefes of afterlife . The duos stranded in a seluded place , barry pepper transforming into optimistic and sober , and annabella , despite her ailing health shows up surprising skills amidst the crisis and her calm mind soothing out barry pepper even in his almost near death experience . I MUST SAY GIRL LIKE ANNABELLE CAN BE ANYONE'S DREAM AS A WIFE . She had integrity , righteousness , and faithful .

At first i was expecting some couple either married or intimate adventurous enough to wander and emerge stronger , here it went beyond my expectations , as an unknown girl annabella in barries life , getting close to him and becoming larger than life , and integrity in her character has no definition (beyond words ) . and beyond limits , wandering out to die so that someone else can live ! ,this romance was pure and there was not an inch of physical intimacy , it was all from heart . Barrie's previous girl friend only carrries connection at start of movie , but movie gets better once plane crashes onto backwaters .

screen play , acting , direction , editing is perfect and every characters is developed which gets richer by richer as film progresses , and its into very detailing and wonderfully explains how its necessry to stay near the aircraft if it crashes . Some very life lessons , you can find lots of it in this film.

The climax i was expecting barrie and annabella going to city , and her disease getting treated , now as they trenched in love both cant stay apart , so makes decision to marry both , his previous fiancee and annabella. This could have been happy ending , but destiny had other ways , and it was very sorrowful in the end . Whatever is the climax , the girl Anabella and her memories will forever be enriched in barries heart and. so as viewers .

The Body (II) (2019)

This movie keeps on your toe all the time
22 April 2020
The BODY , hindi movie

This film keeps you on your toe and gives you 100 percent entertainment , goose bumps , and some flashback . Its all rishi kapoor leading with his versatile acting and emran hashmi also did fantastic job, plus very cute kannada actress vedika ( i did like her kannada movie SANGAMA in the year 2008 ) , so as co actors did reasonablly well . . Very clever screen play , fantastic edition , background score and cinematography is again classic . Emraan hashmi thought he is ring master , bulldozed by rishi kapoor with his setting up of the whole event and mastering the movements of emraan rashmi , one overriding the other , i don't want to be a spoiler here , but rishi kapoor had this plan but not noticeable till the intermission .

The rich wife (nagging and feminist kind ) of emraan hashmi kills a family and whole this karma comes back haunting , cleverly staged by ring master rishi kapoor , again i dont want to reveal everything here , vedika sharma has better chemistry with emraan hashmi than his own nagging wife , his wifes terrible mistake costs him everything . Amidst all this incident emraan hashmi looks like person did no crime (even though greedy ) but due to someone's mistake he gets trapped.

I give it 10 out of 10, you can watch this plenty of times , i didnt got bored even a single minute while watching this . And the screen play i want to mention here , the incident where it starts in mortuary and successful ghosts walking out and interrogation in the cabin , gives you chills , gives a feel you r there !.

A fantastic journey of love ....
22 April 2020
Jalebi : After a very lomg time seen this intense romance film , and every screen play carries so much weightage . Acting , direction , songs r too good , the film itself expresses the deep trench of people who were in love and lost it , instances of kumar shaanu songs , train journey , netaji ki haveli adds the pristinity . Despite we see some feminist narratives which could have been avoided , like for eg : protagonists second wife being with kid even before marriage , hero touching the feet of actress , nagging wife who lacks ethoes to adjust . Well , to be frank rest is fine anf awesome too .

This happens when you love the person but can't adjust since priorities are different , but climax is illogical since if you love the person you cant let it to go . If you water it and leave it alone , it may dry up due to sunshine . Better to pluck the plant and keep it in your home garden .

Dia (2020)

Motherly love is very well explained
22 April 2020
Diya film :. triangular love story with motherly love embedded with classic screen play , direction and acting . It keeps you hooked all the time and you travel very deep into emotions . The much needed songs and some extra screen play could have added extra glitter , but its avoided for a reason to connect with pure human emotions and keep it simple .

plots and lessons to life : now let's dwell into story line , first time we can see 'second love ' in girls life over rides first , its because second one happened amidst struggles , it gave her hope and first one was pure romance . Both r equal but we can see girl bit tilted towards second because it carried that extra weight. If you apply this in real life , taking time and understanding the situation could have avoided the crisis , but films has to happen . The dia could have cross checked about her ' deceased bf ' , or the mother of second hero , could have adhered to her maturity and not feeling heartbreak , and heart attack , she could have felt practical of her son and stayed strong .

My solution : Here the polygamy or polygyny or polymorous marriage comes handy , all three can sit and discuss , and girl in love with both boys plus two boys also love her , why not all 3 get married as one wife and two husband . This is practical situation , we can see such situations in movies like kadalan and hrudaya haadithu . The second hero could have avoided giving heart break emotions to mother or mother could have behaved maturely , so her death could have avoided .

All in all , its wonderful movie and happy that in kannada industry such movies r made .

concept is good but gets bored in between
22 April 2020
SHREE hindi film

Subject looked fantastic before watching the movie , starting was good , was expecting some feasty sci fiction narration (just like back to the future hollywood flick ) along the way but it kept boring and repetitive , so fast forwarded the movie and watched it . The screen play after a while looks very repetitive , i can excuse that its time loop movie , so such repetitions are normal , but again with wise direction and screen play it could have made much better , so completing this movie was big task for me.

Again i wont write off this movie , since all actors did fantastic job , concept is amazing , only screenplay and editing could have been better , its a one time watch movie . So watch it but don't expect too much, be patient affer initial 30 minutes , climax is good but you get bored in betwean .

simple love story with very big heart
23 January 2020
Amazing screen play, splendid acting by lead protagonists keeps movie on a roller coaster ride and never keeps you bored . The script is something unique , first boy following and journey threw wilderness , across rivers which bossoms love , and lays foundation , even though the story do not have much twist and turns , flip flops by both sides keeps you entrained , one can relate this to modern day love story , being in denial but again feelings take over . Also showcases how hard to win someone's heart also that any try outs never goes in waste , the budding is what all needs .

Songs r amazing and male (rain ) can be related to movie , and looks apt , one also can seen the maturity in handling the script , the way its shown in the end girl is not after boys status , and feelings taking over , may its just film but reality is very different in real life , girls normally fall for status and money , but here shown otherwise which adds to the innocence of story line . The skipping afternoon meal to donate this to needy looks overly hyped , no need for him to go hungry , just saving petrol for his 400cc bike could have been enough.

The film grips onto innocence of romance , amulya and prem acting is too good . The location and colorful backdrops adds as icing for cake . A simple love story with big heart . Kudos for making it , we loved it

much much better than mungaaru male 1 , and you will fall in lovr
19 August 2019
I went to see mungaaru male 1 with lots of expectations but found the movie is just above average

I saw mungaau male 2 with no expectations , but this one much i found much better than mungaaru male 1. The content is just superb and you will never get bored , you can feel emotions deep within and can relate to it .

True mangaaru male 1 carried awesome songs and fan frenzy , but on script level , specially after interval , i found idea of girl not relating boys feelings very immature . And girl switching sides or not feeling the emotions / sacrifices was too cold for any viewersl . The dramatics were there , but hugely intended on sacrifice in the end . But what i found girl not deserving sacrifice and not being able to connect it . Infact it had first time exp for boy and immaturely ended.

But mungaaru male 2 is on different level , been to relationship and falling into someone special , this being said girl is still virgin ( not into physical intimacy ) and sensitive enough to get into serious feelings . This made it all fun , plus even in this play boy style of protagonist , slowly it gets into serious emotions , and sacrifice i found is well deserving ( unlike mungaaru male 1 ) and dramatic turn of events unites them again , because they deserve each other (in mungaaru male 1 girl had zero ( often tears but cold enough to move on ) emotions , so they didnt deserve each other ). As it also highlights fatigue in relationship and how we got bored gradually , but still can hang on because we value it once we go apart .

A master peice movie and very melodious songs . I am very surprised by acting calibre of neha shetty (after you see this movie her role creates imprints on your kind and you will cherish it every time ) and as expected genius level of golden star ganesh . Ravichandran gave need much needed maturity and adapted to situation and other actors too gave justice to role they played
