Gurudev Hoysala

I watched the movie Dasara and Gurudev Hoysala on the same day, the stories somewhere touched on casteism. But watching Dasara i felt it was a drag but Gurudev Hoysala turned out to be crisp and a very neat screenplay with no lag or overaction anywhere. Glad i watched GuruDev Hosyala and what great action..both hero and villain were very promising and equal screen space...a great subject indeed and not a single boring moment....though this subject has been done so many times, but the twist is great and ending awesome...keep smiling Dolly Dhananjay...you are going great guns...proud of you and your body language...even the dialect of north karnataka was very well done and music and bgm and story and narration everything was top notch....!!!

Movie is packed with all necessary commercial elements. The main plot revolves around honour killing and caste system which is very rare to see in modern Kannada cinema. Movies like Bhootayyana maga Ayyu, Hemavathi,Janumada Jodi were few daring attempts and the that spark is now carried over to Hoysala movie.

We might get few shades of Koshiyum Ayyapunam, Kaithi, Dark Knight.. However those have been blended to match the story.

Message they want to convey is very strong and sensitive and I totally appreciate Director's choice to make this a commercial flick. The teams intention to subtle the impact with commercial elements is clever. The character Bhoomi cannot be the Shosanna Dreyfus as caste system in Karnataka is still deep rooted and its hard to burn it down in a movie theatre. Hence even to whisper against this deep rooted caste system, one must be courageous.

Additionally movie also speaks about role of media, duties of cops and helplessness of police due to corrupt system around them. Hoysala is a symbol of ideal police officer that our society needs. These ideals are necessary for modern youths. Thanks to the Hoysala team for providing necessary medicines sandwiched with all masala elements!

A refreshing good base plot line and action drama with a strong social message make this product worth watching ... Daali's 25th movie is a sure shot and fits into the cop's role perfectly and hope to see him reach greater heights While bali and Dada villainous act is a show sealer without a doubt... Director Vijay has done a commendable job by exploring the talents of all artists to the fullest keeping screenplay engaging without adding commercial flavours from beginning to end... Cinematography and music carry the soul of the movie without eating our eardrums... Overall a worthy package of the good-intentioned commercial flick.

Gurudev Hoysala- Fast paced action movie with the right display of what "meter iro" (Kannada word) cop who knows no bounds to fight for the rights and justice.

Story and screenplay is clean and executed really well by the director Vijay Naagendra.

Dhananjaya roars like a LION KING and goes after the brutal jungle. He wears his khaki as the pride of honor, combined with his superior acting and style.

Background music and editing is spot on. Action sequences are well made. Rest of the characters have supported well and gels with the plot.

Watch it on Prime as the cop hits the baddies and gives justice.

Dolly Dhananjaya's character of the policeman has become the most amazing picture. It's a great picture for all the family to watch. There is a good message in this film. Like Dolly Dhananjaya's action and dialogues are very good. Kannada needs to be encouraged and developed by all of us. Once again the most amazing picture of Kannada . The songs and music in this film are very wonderful. The screenplay is very good. Once again I request everyone to save Kannada and encourage Kannada film. Another amazing Kannada film has come out. The action in this film is very good. I am very impressed with Dali Dhananjaya's acting.
