Five Idiots and Veera Bahu are the two choices Kannada film goers can choose from this week.

Five Idiots is directed by famous child actor Master Anand, who has chosen a comic kidnap drama as the subject for his debut.

The main characters include a guy who has lost his job abroad due to recession, a man who shies away from family commitments due to his film ambitions, and another who neglects his studies.

These three along with their friends are in a fix and need to make a fast buck to get out of the mess. Their plan is to kidnap a big shot's daughter for ransom.

The film stars Anand, Vasu, Petrol Prassana, Namratha Hegde, Naveen Krishna and Harshika Poonacha.

Director S Mahender is making a comeback after a three-year hiatus with this week's other release, Veerabahu, a love story laced with action.
