There's a reason why Shivarajkumar is considered the greatest in Kannada cinema, and this movie proves it yet again. Sri Murali yet again shines, proving why he is such a formidable force in any movie. I saw this movie yesterday and must admit it blew me off my feet. The Direction, camera work, cinematography, background music etc.., everything was just perfect. Everyone played a brilliant role in this movie, right from the heroes to the villains, just outstanding!
The story is about an undercover cop who goes in decoy into the underworld, lead by Shivarajkumar, to unearth the activities behind it and gather evidence to bring down the empire. Over the period of Sri Murali working as a goon for Shivarajkumar, he learns that there is a great man behind all the wrong impositions against him. The story takes you for a thrilling ride while this is being determined through great action scene's, dialogues, emotions and what not!
All I can say is this is a must watch and should be complimented by all means for its excellent delivery. I stopped watching Kannada movies for a while due to the crap one man show movies made off late where actors such as Sudeep (who was really good in the past, now crap), Darshan, Ganesh etc.., most of these actors are in movies that hardly have any story and just goes about showing inhuman feats done by them. In short words, "A One Man Show". However, this movie had story, emotion, action and everything one could expect to have a memorable time.
Sri Murali shines so well that at times he almost overshadowed Shivarajkumar but when Shivanna comes back to the scene, it goes without saying that he steals the show with his very presence, in every word, in every action. I've always loved Sri Murali for the fine actor he is and now he stands as one of my favorite, with my all time favorite, Shivanna.
10/10 at any cost! Thanks a bunch for such a great movie! I'm buying this on Blue Ray to save a copy forever as soon as I find it.
