Sakutumba Sametha

Main points why this movie scores: One:Movies usually gloss over family, which is shown to be perfect and glossy. Reality is that partners fight, bicker and are at loggerheads with each other. No husband and wife will hold hands and sing their way through life.

Two:Men too have problems finding partners. Not like earlier days when a man could pick and choose. Its not easy to find a girl as these days, women too have their expectations and wont settle for anyone who likes them.

Three: Women are independent and are not always interested in marrying as soon as a guy proposes.

The above points make this movie stand out. The cast, is perfect, the protagonists as well as others like Achyuta Kumar, Rekha Kudligi, Krishna Hebbale and Jayalaxmi Patil, who bring their roles to life. Jayalaxmi Patil, in the role of an aunt, breathes life into the role, proving that the length of the role isn't correlated with the impact on the movie.

The heroine , as a confused girl, looks morose throughout the movie. The hero, by contrast, comes across as a better person, who, as the girls mother says, can be a good husband. The story line is good but definitely could have been better. One good thing is that the director doesnt go overboard in showing the fights and cold vibes, its subtly done. A nice outing for the entire family, though.
