Gurudev Hoysala

Rating : 4/5

A complete entertainer , which was very much needed in this month for kannada movie buffs.

Plot : our hero is on investigation, where is senior office goes missing in that city , so our hero will try to find him , and then what and all problems will come and twists will come is pretty good .

Positives

1. The direction and making : The director vijay naagendra has an urge to make something unique in same routine story, and it worked for me , some scenes which will remain in my head like villain entry scene to emotional dialogue, everything got me , even though it was predictable. So thank you vijay , and make some more unique movies , I am waiting.

2 . All actors acting, every main actors in this movie has some depth in role , which makes a good watch .

3 . Music , ajaneesh Loknath has given some good music for movie , but given badass music for naveen Shankar, which made me whistle for him .

4 . Here they are trying to solve castesim problem in a common man feeling , not in any impact full scale or in any law basis , but these little tries may actually change the society.

Negatives

1. I enjoyed the movie even if it's same story I want some thing uniqueness and this one gave me , I am satisfied , but who can't watch same story and similar writing this is not for you .

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.

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.

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!

The movie is a little better than the other chest thumping ones in the sense the fights are a little more realistic. The social message of 'caste' seems like a feel-good, but there is nowhere else in this earth which does not have a caste system. Every country, every religion, every non-religion have divisions. Blaming caste for our problems in society is moronic and a cop-out.

Other than caste, there is another social message of honor killings. But it is the message of anti corruption that comes out more powerful in this movie. It is unnerving how anyone will not cooperate with the local mafia and do their bidding, unless you have super human strength.

Acting wise, Dhananjaya is ok, Achyuth Kumar is good, and he is capable of much better. The starcast and their portrayals are good.
