Anu can be enjoyed by the audience, who love thrillers. For Pooja Gandhi, this is certainly a big break. It is time that she chooses films where she can further demonstrate her talent.
Chickpete Sachagalu has a good script but Magadi has not been able to get the right flavour from his artistes and technicians.
Gulama may impress the mass audience to some extent, but is not meant for the family audience.
Haage Summane, a Kannada film directed by Mungaru Male writer Preetham Gubbi, is a good effort and is evident that the entire team - from Gubbi, the writer and director, cinemetographer Krishna, music director Mano Murthy, lyricist Jayanth Kaikini, editor Deepu and the costume and art designers - has worked hard to create the film.
Kannada film Rocky is directed by well known editor Nagendra Aras who is also an occasional actor in Kannada films. His first directorial venture Heart Beats was a much better product than this eminently forgettable film called Rocky.
Neenyaare comes as a breath of fresh air at a time when the Kannada film industry is facing a serious dearth of good films.
The success of a comedy depends on good timing, dialogues and comedy sequences. But Mast Maja Maadi fails on all three counts.
Sudeep will play an ambitious mediaperson in his next Hindi film, Rann.
The Kannada film is sans logic but is still an enjoyable fare.
Janumadha Gelathi is one of the weakest films of Dinesh Baboo known for making family entertainers. The film lacks a logical story line and has a bad narration. Srinagara Kitty impresses in this otherwise forgettable film.
Akka Thangi is a film of strong native fervour and realistic narration. The film is sentimental and sends a strong message that upholds truth and tradition. Shruthi, Kishore are excellent. Mahendar's direction and Manohar's music are top class.
The Kannada movie scores in its high class cinematography and top class songs. Cameraman H C Venu and music director K.Kalyan are the real heroes of the film. Newcomer Akshay is good in action sequences. Mahi is glamorous and emotes well. A watchable film.
Nanjunde Gowda has always chosen well-known commercial movie stars to make his artistic movies. His films invariably have some social issues as the backdrop and were made in good taste winning critical appreciation and awards. In his new Kannada film, Naanu Gandhi too, he has not compromised in his artistic beliefs and values.
Debuting director Sumana and writer Agni Sridhar have done a commendable job in providing insights to the cruel world of politician, police and criminals. Vijay and Shubha Poonja have done a perfect job in the acting department. The two songs in the film are sure to rock.
Navagraha directed by Dinakar is a thriller featuring Darshan and six other heroes who were born to seven well known villains of the Kannada film industry. It suffers because of weak narration and illogical story. Darshan is lively and new comer Dharma is impressive. Harikrishna scores with two good song compositions.
Psycho stands up to the hype it had created before the release. Not only Raghu Dixit's music, even the other technical elements like cinematography, editing and art work are top class. Director Devadatta has done a perfect job in getting good performances from new artists.
Ganesh's emotional performance and the dialogue delivery save an otherwise weak film. Vedhika looks glamorous. Devi's music is the strong point while directorially the film is weak. Just an okay film.
Despite its weak points, Payana is a must watch for audience who prefer neat film. Hari Krishna's top music, Ravishankar's good debut and Rumaneethu's screen presence makes it interesting viewing.
Premigaagi Naa has a weak plot handled very badly by director Snehapriya Nagaraj. Rajesh Ramanath scores uninspiring music for his hundredth film. The new comers Shankar and Vandana put up an uninspiring show. A tedious watch.
Baa Bega Chandamama is an illogical film from start to finish. Prince Deepak fails to add life into his role. Poor music composition and ordinary camera work add up to the negative points in the film.
