Om Saiprakash known for tear jerker stories on Kannada screen has made audiences to pick handkerchiefs with series of tragedies on the screen.
Shivarajakumar is known as ‘Raja’ in emotional acting. He gathers attention for his cool and composed performance. Navya Nair an actress with good range looks very pretty and done her job neatly. Doddanna and Sadhu Kokila comedy does not jell with the flow of the film. Shoba Raghavendra screaming disturb the nerves.
The two folk songs already popular – title song Bagyadha balegara Hogi Baa Thavarige….and Ghallu Gallenutha…..in the presence of top actresses Anu Prabhakar and Sudharani respectively is attractive. The song Nannanne Noduvanu….is melodious in the remaining six songs!
MR Seenu camera work is not up to the mark as he has not made use of the natural light properly. Sounder Raj editing deserved to be better.
Scoring 6/10
