Sangama "Monotonous" - movie review - 26th Oct 2008
The much expected Kannada film 'Sangama' from SV Productions is routine and narration is simple. The talkative Ganesh has nothing much to do and once again he does two action scenes. After 'Bombaat' he is more in to action packed film but the reaction from his what catchy! ...

Sangaathi - Movie Review - 19th Oct 2008
A director has to be checked thoroughly of his intelligence and strength in handling the film. A producer has got every right to do like that instead of facing the disaster results from such half baked director like Srinivasaraju....

Payana - Movie Review - 18th Oct 2008
'The disadvantage of this film is its length. It needs further half an hour chop. Ravishanker and Kiran Govi actor and director respectively from the small screen have done a neat job. It is far away from vulgarity, double meaning and senseless action scenes.....

Coming straight to the good elements there is some powerful action, equally powerful performances from Puneeth, Lakshmiji and Nikita Tukral. The human emotions between mother and son are quite impressive but what is not impressive is the excess of fights and the story content....

'PUC' – Please You See says the caption. It is absolutely fitting when we come out from the theatre watching this movie. But what directors SR Brothers who faced a crashing defeat from 'Nanjundi' should know is that they should not teach philosophy. They have tried to include everything and made the film bit lengthy to watch.....

Like seven wonders Upendra in seven different get ups – he is a brother, Panchamrutha, Ashok Mittal, Zakir Hussain, Samara Simha Reddy, Shyamprasad, Rajaneesh to give something worthwhile not to the women he goes behind. What is life he gives a lesson, what is our culture he addresses in the court of law, what is the duty of a woman....

The big hope that this film director Chandrasekhar Srivatsav has built up from the day one by his too much of talk and of course with songs captured makes balderdash. The ideology of this director is incorrect and he has loads of negative thoughts in his mind at every area of society....

Naveen Krishna's make or break film has come at the right time in a right way. The redeeming feature of this film is the screenplay, dialogue, Naveen Krishna, Asha Saini performance, cinematography and tolerable music. This is a carefully thought out cinema....

What makes this film 'Ganesha Matthe Bandha' nodable is that it is efficient in screenplay and significant in contents and dialogues. Nowhere it crosses the limit and the final message for the arranged and love marriage fraternity Phani comes with a solution. There is a separate cell that is monitoring all ups and down in the society......

The birth of a new hero is tucked with all the ingredients but how come the hero Pankaaj has not been advised to undergo treatment from a dentist. Is it the last minute preparation of Kannada cinema industry’s pride S.Narayan? Except the bulging teeth and dialogue delivery this is one absolutely fits the youngster Pankaaj.....

Previous debacles have not taught any lessons for director Ravi Srivatsa. He has gone extreme in this action extravaganza. The mayhem and kitsch is torturing to the normal brains. Where Ravi Srivatsa is taking the Kannada film industry?.....

A copy cat of Telugu film 'Maheshwari' (starring Venkatesh and Katrina Kaif) the film 'KKN' in Kannada in the cans for a long time and it is nice to see Pooja Gandhi in 'Mungaru Male' personality. It is just after this film release she signed this film in February 2007.

Arjun - Bombastic action in Arjun - 16th Aug 2008
What is common in the two releases of this week 'Arjun' and 'Anthu Inthu Preethi Banthu'. Both the film names start from the letter 'A'. No. In both the films the importance is given to father and son relationship. It is Aanthnag and Darshan in 'Arjun' and Srinivasamurthy and Aditya Babu in 'Anthu Inthu Preethi Banthu'.

Bombat - Bombat in Bindaas style - 11th Aug 2008
The senior director D.Rajendra Babu has given a 'Bombaat' film in 'Bindhaas' style! That is OK at what cost? This is what sickening. Has become another Om Prakash Rao? The answer is positive because he has taken the clips from half a dozen Telugu and Tamil films.

Nanda Deepa- Movie Review - 28th Jul 2008
Already a senior technician and producer Anaji Nagaraj has catered this film to rural parts. Even in rural areas the Saas Bahu Beti serials are more interesting with curves, twists and turns. For a section of audience this type of film is made there are no takes for the routine going on in the screen.

Tajmahal - A director with diligence - 24th Jul 2008
Here is a director to watch. The debut of R.Chandru is worth writing about. The Shahjahan of Moghul Dynasty built Taj Mahal for his Begum in 1632 but this 'Taj Mahal' in Kannada is constructed by this director for the hero after a long love story with twists, turns, emotions, poverty, romance on screen.

Bandu Balaga - Money power Vs Emotional power - 7th Jun 2008
'BANDHU BALAGA' – This is a hard ware cinema. Peeping in to yesteryears undivided family and huge family meeting on occasions in the present day context adding it up with masala elements story writer Janardhan Maharshi has fooled the producer Soorappa Babu and Kamalakar.

Neene Neene - Kasta bandaga Naane Naane - 7th Jun 2008
'NEEN NEENE' – What next the duo Abisekh and Nandini keep asking very often. We would tell the director to make it fast in the second half and ask him to take the scissors. Then what next is that the people of Karnataka should watch this film and support the producer Basava Reddy to get back his money.

Mussanje Maatu - Sudeep turns social studies teacher - 17th May 2008
The social study subject that is taught in text books is not enough knows the director Mahesh Babu in his debut film. That is why he picked the tale in parts from social life and stitched it with the help of technology of the 21st century. He catches with the lovely star like Sudeep in transmitting the message.

Gange Baare Tunge Baare - Good in parts - 17th May 2008
Kokila Sadhu fails to impress after 'Anatharu' that he directed in the last year. The maturity in Prajwal Devaj is still not ripe enough to counter two heroines and emotional circumstances. This is ala 'Huliya Halina Mevu' of Annavru starring Jayaprada and Jayachitra. Even the heroines in that cinema were called as 'Ganga and Thunga'.
