The majority of remake makers bank on the success part of the original and forget about at what time they are bringing it on Kannada screen. Look at the film `Eno Onthara' that is copy cat of 12 years ago released Telugu film `Kushi' that was made in Tamil language too.
In a place like Bangalore where all the language films are seen the director needs extra guts to make a film in Kannada is often told. That is what the director and producer of this film have easily given up. Similar kinds of films with more strength in the screenplay have already come and gone.
Unless the maker and director give a serious thought on what kind of films are made this kind of routine films come and go.
Untill the protagonist Surya (Ganesh) look at the waist of Madhumathi (Priyamani) the film is a big bore. It is because after this incident the film gets some spark. So far yawning audience immediately become attentive and curiously watches what's going to happen. But as expected is the end at the railway station. Madhumathi gives a good bye to her ego centric nature and Surya who has right temperament from the beginning admits her.
For the audience of 12 years ago this kind of film might be interesting but the scenario has changed. Some of the film - to quote an example in Kannada Sudeep and Sonia starring producer Sa.Ra.Govindu `Chandu' had the similar thread that does not come to the notice of the producer and director of `Eno Onthara'.
Ganesh at places attracts for his dialogue delivery. When he is up with a few pegs his modulation of voice is good. Priyamani is a treat to watch in scenes where she picks up a quarrel. Srinivasamurthy is the major draw in the supporting roles.
The alphabet song that is the opening song for Ganesh is interesting and Dilkush..song with Kerala culture backdrop is cynosure. V Harkrishna maintains his graph steadily in the music department as the background song on the situation of hero and heroine is also impressive.
PKH Doss is brilliant again. The long shots of New Delhi the hilly region of Chickmagalur are captured beautifully.
If you have excess of time and money you can watch this film.
Scoring 5/10
