Kantheredu Nodu (1961)
Kantheredu Nodu: One of the early masterpiece of Dr. Rajkumar
Kantheredu Nodu is one of the early masterpiece film in Dr. Rajkumar's career. As usual Dr. Rajkumar has combined the techniques of classical acting and method acting and brings life into the character. T. N. Balakrishna had excelled in negative role and proved his versatility. All other artists who acted in this film were brilliant regarding their performance.
There is no flaw with the narrative or screenplay, and the script is also pretty cool. Since this film is one of the earliest films of Dr. Rajkumar, there is least probability that the viewers have watched it. Please watch it. Its available in YouTube, Eros Now, and Jio Cinema.
Bairagee (2022)
Dr. Shivarajkumar carries Bhairagee on his shoulders
At max, Bhairagee could be called an above average film, nothing more than that. 1st Half is boring with ocassional movements of humour, and comedy. The banging interval scene makes the viewer interested to watch the 2nd Half.
The narrative pace in the 2nd Half is good, with message to the society, which is again spoiled by the climax which could had been improved.
Dr. Shivarajkumar carries the entire film on his shoulders, and delivers an excellent performance. Nothing much from Dhananjaya apart from slum acting.. Dhananjaya is one of the worst actors I have ever seen. This film could be watched only for Dr. Shivarajkumar.
Sampathige Saval (1974)
Sampathige Savaal: The Evergreen Mass Entertainer
Sampathige Savaal is an evergreen mass entertainer, and one of my favorite movies of All-Time. Dr. Rajkumar has combined the techniques of Classical acting and method acting to bring life to the character of Veerabhadra. All other actors were pretty good in their given roles.
The narration technique used by A. V. Sheshagiri Rao is excellent, and the screenplay which was written by Chi Udayashankar is outstanding. Songs were written by Chi Udayashankar and R. N. Jayagopal, which are excellent, and among my favorites. Dialogues written by Chi Udayashankar were excellent. Like always, G. K. Venkatesh was awesome in providing Background Music. The scenes involving a confrontation between Dr. Rajkumar and Vajramuni were outstanding.
Philosophically this is a brilliant movie, as Lord Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita that is good to rebel against injustice just like the character Veerabhadra did in the film. This is the reason why Sampathige Savaal is one of my favorite movies of All-Time.
Mayura (1975)
Mayura: A Historical Masterpiece
Mayura is a historical masterpiece. Dr. Rajkumar has combined the techniques of Classical acting and method acting to bring life to the character of Mayura. All other actors were outstanding in their given roles.
The narration technique used by Vijay is top-notch, and the screenplay is pretty impressive. The songs written by Chi Udayashankar were outstanding. Background Music from G. K. Venkatesh was excellent as usual, and it is the fight scenes involving Dr. Rajkumar and Vajramuni that make the audience amazed.
Mayura is a symbol of Kannada pride, and one of my all-time favorites.
Bangarada Manushya (1972)
Bangaarada Manushya: The Greatest Masterpiece
Bangaarada Manushya is an Evergreen Masterpiece, and easily the best movie I have ever seen, and my all-time favourite. Dr. Rajkumar's performance was outstanding, and he has brought life to the character of Rajeeva and gave his career - best performance. T. N. Balakrishna has managed to do the same while bringing life into the character of Rachutappa. All the other actors were outstanding in their given roles.
The narration technique used by Siddalingaiah is top-notch, and the screenplay which was written by Siddalingaiah is pretty impressive. The songs were outstanding and all of them are on my favourites list, especially the song, Nagunagutha Nali, which was written by Honsur Krishnamurthy is my all-time favourite song. The dialogues written by Honsur Krishnamurthy were fabulous. Background music from G. K. Venkatesh was excellent as usual. The cinematography from D. V. Rajaram was also fabulous. The comedy scenes were outstanding in fact each and every scene in the movie is outstanding, and the couple of fights involving Dr. Rajkumar and M. P. Shankar were pretty great. Fights and Stunts were composed by Y. Shivayya who has done an excellent job.
Bangaarada Manushya is a modern day Bhagavad Gita as there are philosophical solutions to problems that man faces for instance in one dialogue Dr. Rajkumar says to Bharathi about the importance of duty over desire. The song Nagunagutha Nali teaches about being happy always. Both philosophically and scientifically staying happy creates positive vibrations around you! The song Aagadhu Yendu teaches the importance of never giving up. We should work hard and find satisfaction in it is also the message conveyed to the audience.
Bangaarada Manushya also has economical solutions to problems people face today. Work-life Balance in India is comparatively low, which will eventually lead to a higher stress among people. Such people can go back to villages and start farming like Dr. Rajkumar did it in the film. So Bangaarada Manushya does not apply just to farmers, it is a Universal Content. In this film, Dr. Rajkumar buys a huge piece of land with Cooperative Farming scheme where he brought new land at a lesser cost with the help of taking a loan from T. N. Balakrishna effectively using economies of scale to earn a higher income. These are the reasons why Bangaarada Manushya is my favourite movie of all-time! I have totally lost count of the number of times I have seen this epic masterpiece classic film.
