As said while Sathya plays the cat and mouse game with Krishna and the crooked cronies, fans have their wallet worth of fun. less

Among the three leading ladies, Shwetha Pandit scores big. For a major part of the movie, Achyuth Kumar has a steady role that makes his contribution a wee bit lacklusture. That’s until the climax where he somehow manages to salvage some pride. less

The film scores high on technical aspects. The locations are an added bonus. The visual richness, blended with a screenplay that has a good mix of comedy, romance, action and melodrama, ensures one walks out with a good cinematic experience. The other notable point is the dialogues. They have the necessary zing, without going over the top like how most big hero films do. less

The film is about Maalik who enters Bengaluru and soon rises above the ranks to become one of the most feared name in underworld. There's also a small romance track and a flashback episode to add some emotional quotient to the film. The film has an interesting first half less

The film has many fun moments that keep you laughing and the lead pair of Vihaan Gowda and Hitha Chandrashekhar have a very affable chemistry that makes you want to sit through their journey.  less

As usual with him, Guruprasad’s tone is irreverent. Underneath this approach is hidden the profound message that he manages to deliver without forcing it as one.The ample sprinkling of double entendres is something that comes complimentary with his films and there is no escaping them. less

No doubt it's a complete action-packed entertainer for Kiccha's fans and it might even 'manage' to thrill an outsider who is just a movie buff and not attached to any exclusive fandom. Sudeep's enormous popularity and honesty makes it believe as if he is living the character and making the audience want him to accomplish his mission by the end less

Dwarakish Chitra's 50th film, Tharun Sudhir's debut as a director and a star cast that will have most directors give more than just an arm to own -- there were expectations galore from Chowka. And this film proves to be worth all that hype. The film, albeit being three hours long, manages to keep one engaged throughout the narrative and also provides old-fashioned entertainment with a positive message to the youth in the end. In a way, the team has given Sandalwood its own Rang De Basanti. less

This film proves to be just another romcom with a lot of cliches. Jalsa begins on a shaky note with a rather badly choreographed fight, but it soon redeems itself with the narrative picking pace and generating curiosity. less

#UTurn

After having dished out the Indian version of "Inception" with "Lucia", Pawan Kumar must've felt the heat while making his next venture "U-Turn". To be very honest, he didn't succumb to pressure unlike most directors do these days. U-Turn was a rollercoaster ride that travels on a wafer-thin crux but built on prodigiously. The layering in screenplay was scintillating to say the least.

The movie is all about a series of mysterious killings that occur in the city of Bangalore which is related to breaking a traffic rule in one particular flyover. What follows is the decoding of the mystery through the eyes of a journalist and a policeman. We aren't treated to a single point of view mystery solving strategy which most of the movies of this genre adopt these days as it doesn't fail to entertain either. Instead Pawan managed to adopt a solve-as-they-fall-in-place kinda approach which gives a completely different flavor to the movie on the whole.

Thanks to some brilliant performances by every single actor, the movie doesn't fall short on performance metrics either. The screenplay layering only managed to sustain the thrill and suspense till the very end of it.
But what I felt was the last 20-30 minutes fell blatant. Maybe because Pawan has devised this rubix cube so bloody interestingly. So he resorted to take refuge in the much preferred 'safe-bet' in horror leitmotif. less

Challenging Star Darshan has dared to experiment. As a result Jaggu Dada turns out both entertaining and engaging experience. Full of mass masala action, the film, also subtly parodies inconsequential life of a rowdy, whom society shuns like a bargepole.
This thanks to debutant director Raghavendra Hegde who has cleverly scripted a tale that melds both commercial and social aspects without being preachy. Yes, Hegde has staked both his reputation, as also Darshan's, at the boxoffice turnstile.
That he has pushed the envelope despite regurgitating the moth eaten story and has chosen to narrate in a nifty, delectable, way surreptitiously suggesting that there is more to life than being a disreputable rowdy, spicing up his saga with comedy should be appreciated.
That said Jaggu Dada revolves around rowdy Jaggu. Mama Pushpa's bosom boy who aspires her son become numero uno don of the underworld fiefdom his grandfather Ravishankar and his father Veeru had once ruled ruthlessly.
But Jaggu, who has no qualms about dancing to mama's tunes, however, has to contended with grand dad Ravishankar who wants him to let past be past and turn new leaf to wed a homily girl and earn society's respect and station.
Turning ghost after his heart-attack, the grand dad is after Jaggu to find the girl as soon as possible, lest Jaggu turns complete rowdy as his mother Pushpa would want him to be. Jaggu's search lands him in Maximum City where marriage broker Gowri lines up a string of prospective brides who all turn out to be reality show babes. Needless to say Jaggu falls for Gowri to complete the film's romantic track.
Filled with high octane, stylised action sequences to ensure mass appeal for his loyal fans, the film also brims with some mirthful comedy hidden with messages. Will Hegde's gamble pay off, only time will tell. For now though he has etched a new meaning to rowdy entertainment. Enjoy, be entertained and educated on what it means to being a rowdy and devoid of respect. While Darshan is usual self flexing his muscles, fists and kicks, it is Deeksha Seth who acts as a perfect foil rising about the pretty babe prop. less
