| Thaayi - Memorable mother |
A mother for society! This is the right attitude what the century old written novel of Russian writer Maxim Gharki emphasizes. The film 'Thaayi' (based on Maxim Gharki's 'Mother') is not self centered is the first appreciable factor.

| Uppi Daada MBBS - Good in bits and pieces |
The third regional version of 'Munna Bhai MBBS' in Kannada is good in bits and pieces. Director D.Rajendra Babu claiming credit for screenplay is unexpected. When it is frame to frame remake where is the need to claim credit for screenplay?. Even for direction the seniors like D.Rajendra Babu should claim the credit as 'Arranger' or 'Organiser'. That makes more sense

| Veeru - Tragic tale |
Coming out from the routine commercial films nappy Narayan has given a moronic tale that holds the mirror to the unscrupulous activities in the society. The series of tragic tales he unfolds is laborious to watch. It is a start to finish pathetic cinema.

| Mitayi Mane - Less of sugar |
This 'Candy House' - Mitayi Mane is quoted with less of sugar in it. The issue of deceiving education to children and giving them loads of work at the young age wrong attitude the film vouches. It has handled with inevitable circumstances cropping up in our society.

| Vishnu Sene - A revolutionary film - Well made remake |
The film aims at a very strong injection to the corruption that has rampantly spread in our society from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. The protagonist is aware of 'Geethanjali' of Rabindranath Tagore and gives the answer to the corruption in his 'Rakthanjali'.

| Sakha Sakhi - Strain to viewers,Drain to producers. |
This is a remake of Tamil film 'Thiruda Thirudi' (Dhanush and Chaya Singh). Who is wrong? The producer or the director! This question crops up to your mind after you come out watching the Kannada version from the theatre.

| Rama Shama Bhama - Bravo Ramesh! |
Actor Ramesh Aravind has reason to feel very happy and satisfied. His debut film has hit the big screen today and the response he's got from the couple of premiers that have taken place in the city has proved that the actor has succeeded in realising his dreams of being a director with great perfection.

| Nenapirali - What a beautiful film! |
Director Rathnaja deserves full praise for making a fabulous film in the midst of violent, action and inconsequential films. Excellent photography, memorable music and lyrics, tidy screenplay, timely and apt dialogues and passable performance lift the film from what would have been a mediocre film.

| Nammanna - Violence rules in Nammanna |
In the film, you have actor Sudeep, who initially comes across as a docile sort of fellow who just transforms into this image of a hero the very moment he sights blood on his younger brother.
