Kannada Reviews
Well Crafted film
In the 21st century the 12th century sparkle 'Sri Dhanamma Devi' is significant because of the revolutionary thinking of a woman of substance. The forethought of Dhanamma, her principles, equality and communal harmony she focused is commendable. Director Chindodi Bangaresh who has given 'Ganayogi Panchakshara…
Protracted
This is the remake of decade old Tamil film 'Kadhalakku Maryadhai'. The net contents are very good. Accepted! But making it for the present scenario director Mahender should have used his common sense. This is a protracted love story. There are many unimportant and lethargic…
Wasted efforts
The captivating style of operation is the need for this type of kidnap based story. That is what missing in this film. Every scene moves like a theatre play in the forest backdrop. Saikumar the dialogue king is reduced to a mute spectator. He walks…
Good effort
The 'Zamaana' of debutants in Kannada cinema today! This is a very well crafted and slightly protracted 'Ondu Preethiya Kathe'. The attempt is good by debutant Rajasekhara Rao. He knows the grammar of cinema. He knows how to catch the attention of viewers. He is…

It is Maronic
In one single film the scores of human bodies sliced like vegetables is not an achievement for the director like Shivamani and producer of reputation Ramu. It is disgusting to see Upendra holding the long sharp edge weapons. His new hairstyle is also awful. In…
Lacks in variety
After two super hit films (Nenapirali and Jothe Jotheyali) actor Prem's 'Pallakki' is disappointing. The story is told umpteen times on silver screen. The recent example is 'Arasu' of Puneeth Rajkumar. Why our own people do not see our own films and incorporate necessary changes…
Well done
Debutant director B.R.Rajasekhar showing great degree of skill and maintaining the interest of the family audience is admirable. He has that sense needed and his screenplay is very convincing. Without vulgarity, unwanted action scenes in the first venture Rajasekhar has come out in flying colors.…
Grippingly narrated
Top ranking director of Kannada cinema Sunilkumar Desai has given a brilliant and long drawn out gripping film. This is the break Desai was looking for. He has already proved his mettle in this kind of films in Utkarsha, Nishkarsha, Marma etc. Here in this…
