Gurudev Hoysala

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!

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.

The movie is impressive. All characters are penned as multidimentional in all its shades. Even the villains are shown to have some attatchments, love and vulnerabilities and the hero, "The Protector", can act as a "villain" when needed.

The action is great, the dialogues, the script... all is perfect.

It's a very realistic and profound approach at such horrific and inhuman practise.

What Bhoomi said in some parts of the movie made my eyes wet... such hearth wrenching feelings, the director could perfectly evoke very intense emotions all throughout the movie. The helpfulness, the bewilderment at how all the corrupt system worked, the anger, the good will to make things better, betrayals... Seems so so real.

Kudos to the whole crew ot this wonderful movie. It was really an experience not only a movie to pass time!!!!!

Dhananjay spearheads this movie in the titular character, a no nonsense cop who will go to any extent to get justice. He is assigned the missing case of another officer and transferred to Athani. There he comes across two lovers who have eloped and are illegally detained in his police station. He gets the two married only to rile up the girl's family who are extremely castiest and obviously criminals. As the issue gets sensitive, it is upto Gurudev to find the couple and the process gives him a lead on the missing officer.

The film does highlight the Honour killing and the prevailing casteism. Despite treading with familiar tropes, the screenplay remains fairly engaging throughout. With solid villains especially Naveen Shankar as Bali, the director's job is made much easier in elevating Dhananjay's Gurudev Hoysala. There are several heroic scenes and Dhananjay had a blast enacting them. As much predictable the story is, the entertaining factor remained intact.

I for one, wished for a proper / longer showdown between Gurudev and Bali. Their final fight felt too short. Gurudev Hoysala is still a solid watch as far as commercial potboilers go.

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 .
