What the highly acclaimed comedians should do when they take up a film on their shoulders? They should give rain of comedy scenes and dialogues with a story line linking finally. This is what missing from `Aithalakkadi' team. The film can only boast of 108 actors working in this film. The film is good in parts and at some places disproves the audience guess.
Rangayana Raghu and Bullet Prakash forte is comedy. They are not supposed to cry and at the behest of someone look pathetic. This is what they are in `Aithalakkadi'. The whole film lacks a good wing commander to suggest the joining of scenes or make it attractive and connective. Director cum cameraman JG Krishna needed some consultation. Two protagonists Rangayana Raghu and Bullet Prakash carrying tragedy doled out on the screen is not expected. The fun riot is what they should have come up with.
Yet the two protagonists Rangayana Raghu and Bullet Prakash carry a touching tale that is tucked with songs, guest appearances of five stars and of course the happy ending in the marriage hall.
Raghu (Rangayana Raghu) finding good days in the capacity of associate director is dumb struck when his wife is found with someone else. Dejected with this he comes to city to take up his profession. He flourishes with good stories and he is on a comfort zone. His friend Prakash (Bullet Prakasha) new to city to eke out living for the upkeep of his mother in the hospital also has a tragic tale. Knowing the good intentions of his friend Prakash, one of the films which Raghu handles contains the situations of what Prakash is facing. In the marriage hall the situations happening for the film shocks Prakash but the solution to his problem is also narrated by Raghu that makes the curtains down in the theatre.
Rangayana Raghu and Bullet Prakash done a neat performance but the expectations from them was something else. The presence of V Ravichandran, Jaggesh, Sudeep, Vijay, Vijaya Raghavendra is mind blowing. Neethu as flower seller looks charming throughout the film.
The title song featured on Rangayana Raghu, Bullet Prakash and Neethu, where more than dozen heroes of Kannada cinema turn up and Sudeep in stylish songs are interesting to watch. The action block of Vijay is well composed by Thriller Manju.
There is hard work done by director JG Krishna with his camera but the result is not seen due to technical flaws of screening the film.
Scoring - 6/10
