The effort of this film is the combination of talent and intelligence. The top rated comedy hero of Kannada cinema Jaggesh exceptional dialogue delivery, timing and punches in the laugh riot that is filled with full of dialogues is a great attempt by two intelligent guys producer Sanathkumar and director Guruprasad who has worked in nearly 10 departments of this film.
Laugh is guaranteed. Taking a dig at the lazybones in the society Guruprasad has given a fine treat of MTR lunch in a road side canteen. That is because the contents are fantastic but it is served in a very limited investment that is evident on the screen.
Man transforms everything he encounters into a tool and in doing so he himself becomes a tool. But if he asks a tool for what there is no answer! Likewise the freeloaders in the society ask themselves why they become like this they don't have time to correct because what is lost is lost for ever.
Director Guruprasad does not fall in to the category of `there are no dull subjects; there are only dull writers'. He is such a fine digger of debris. He goes in to the past and comes to the present with effervescence. He has given food for thought in his dissemination of knowledge that caters to the wide section of the society. That is because you find a character like `Manjunatha' everywhere.
Manjunatha is a lazy bone and a free loader too. He is living because his wife works in a garment factory. He knows only to spend but not earn. Even before marriage he was hopeless guy. After marriage he is cool because his wife is there to earn and lead the family. He loses job that he takes up on compulsion. The life sketch he explains to the blind person to make a film is interesting because of his narration style. The blind director wants to create a history in transforming the life of Manjunatha because it is very close to the people in the society. The uncaring and senseless husband is a big pain feels Mrs Manjunatha. She decides to abort the child and it is realization time for Manjunatha.
The film is interesting and engages the audience because of fine narration with flash back techniques. In one or the other situations the audiences also relate to this film and punch, funny and straight hit of dialogues evokes the laughter.
Comedy hero of 125 films in the 25th year of his career Jaggesh is the first main stay of this film. He was in Congress I when he was doing this film and at the time of dubbing for this shoestring budget film he was in BJP party. He has balanced so well in his dialogues that he would surely get the state award for this film. Tabla Naani is another notable person who strikes for his perfect approach to the blind role. Yagna Shetty sans make up has done a pretty good job. She has dubbed her own voice is another plus point for her role.
Anoop Seelin music is very melodious, peppy and sounds good. Not all the songs in the album are found in the cinema fully. Prapanchave Baaru...Kshamisu Gandasare ninna nadathe sariye..and Arathi Eththire Kal Manjanige...are going to stay for long.
Ashok V Raman camera work gathers attention for his close ups. He has captured the entire film in a small location is his struggle coming good.
A film for everyone! Every area of social life a dig is made by the director and writer Guruprasad.
Scoring 8/10
