Pure love wins
This is a stylishly made cinema with strong inspiration from English film 'It Happened one night' and Hindi film 'Dil Hai Ki Mantha Nahin'. The script is worn out but narration is new to Kannada audience. Last two months Kannada audiences have seen 'Ekadantha' a…
Fine attempt
In the title role making debut as director for her home banner debut cinema Priya Hassan has taken up a thought provoking subject €“ uterus ovary transplantation. This is a unique thought and one such experiment in 2002 in Dubai helped a woman to conceive…
Disappointing
Reputed director S.Narayan makes a mistake once again by picking a wrong subject from Tamil film 'Kadhal' that is not suitable to the Kannada nativity. He has not learnt his lessons from his earlier debacle 'Thayiya Madilu'. Director of some of the top ranking films…
Lacklustre
This is a remake of Telugu film 'Santosham' - the reputed director here in Kannada Saiprakash has blindly followed the remake. In journalism there is a saying no good story is written. It is always re-written. At least while bringing the remake director should have…
Partially good

Lethargic attempt
This film 'Savi Savi Nenapu' does not touch our heart or stir our soul. The pace is slow and the narrative is not taut as there are unnecessary deviations from the main plot. The songs though melodious are not spaced properly. Despite of everything at…
Superbly crafted
Director of repute Nagathihalli Chandrasekhar is ahead of time. For the fate of 400 million people in India in 2015 he sends across as a message. As a prelude to it he has made 'Mathad Mathadu Mallige' €“ a small village big story. Kannada cinema…
Mayoor shines
In this long drawn out love saga director Madan Patel has made fairly engaging film. The second half filled with anxious moments keeps the audience guessing. At the fall out of the last reel you would find the labor of love lost resulting in shattered…
