Taakat ends up as a weak film with a predictable story line and narration. Vijay is good in the action sequences while Shubha Poonja has nothing much to offer. Avinash scores in his role. Music by Guru Kiran is ordinary.

Meravanige is an engaging romantic thriller. The film proves that director Mahesh Babu has a firm grip over the medium. Prajwal shines, but it is new comer Andrita Ray who looks bubbly and pretty on the screen.

Seena in one more addition to the badly made gangster films in Kannada. Lover boy turns a ruthless killer in the film. Except for photography and a couple of songs, nothing will appeal to you in this slow paced film.

Review: Gauththam is enjoyable

Rediff.com3 Apr 2009

Prem Kumar enacts well in an emotional role in Gauththam, a remake of the Tamil film Aahaa. Fine performances by veteran artists and good music by Guru Kiran are the appealing points of the film. A good family entertainer despite a rather lengthy second half.

Veera Madakari is a Sudeep film from beginning to end. He shines as an actor and a singer. Newcomer Raagini sizzles in the dances. Joysha who plays the child's character is superb. Songs and dances are well picturised. Camera work is very good.
