This movie was picked by me as I love ’Manichitrathru’ the original Malayalam version. I wanted to know how well the artists could perform the role.
I am not being critical but I only wish to see that the directors, producers would make engrosing movies. First of all Mr. Dwarakesh has not used any of his original ideas, they are all borrowed. The scenes of this movie are from another Malayalam hit ’Aranthaburam’ - the harmonium scenes.
The entrance of the main character is not apt and the fight scenes were unnecessary. Vishnuvardhan kick boxing stance was too artifical, as a man of his age cannot lift him leg that high and for that long the foot was hanging as if the leg was tied to the tree at the ankle. The jokes were not jovial and light most of them had double meaning. The pleasant sight was Soundarya natural and expressive. Dwarakesh has forgotten to be jovial and funny, his attempts to crack jokes and act fuuny looks exaggerated and artifical. He come nowhere near Innocent in the original movie.( though acting talents vary to any actor his part must come naturally).
I only wish any kannada director and script writer uses his imagination or good books to bring out the best and song must be pleasant not take off in the middle of a serious situation.
