Although I love the plot/story very much, I did expect a lot of entertainment from the movie. There was a fair bit of entertainment but the Borat-esque style/dialogues by Danish Sait got really repetitive. Some people didn't like the way the movie ended but for me personally it was the perfect ending because that's how the real world is right now. Nice guys only win in movies but in real life and more so in India, it's mostly the bad guy that take the cake.
The movie has a very deep meaning and tries to convey the message that at the end of the day politics is a system which can be rigged and there are no real tangible moral filters to pick the right person and the citizen should be held responsible for voting for the wrong guy as much as the politicians themselves.
Overall I thought the movie would be more entertaining than have a message but it turned out to be the other way round. A good one time watch nevertheless.

To attempt a political satire first of all is like taking a big risk in Kannada cinema! To top that to choose it as your debut film takes a lot of guts, conviction and faith in your ability - for these reasons alone hats off to Actor Danish Sait and Director Saad Khan. This movie is entertainment from start to finish and with a strong message!
Saad as a director has shown great promise in the way he has handled the actors - Danish can sometimes come across as caricaturish, to ensure his acting just doesn't feel like a series of gags but as an overall performance, credit to the director for pulling it off.
The story keeps you engaged and there are a plenty of laugh out loud moments to keep you entertained! The writing is good, screenplay is tight and the film breathes a bit making it a tad bit longer for a few people - but in my opinion, this was needed to ensure that audience gets the feel of the other characters in the movie as well.
The film also excels in other departments such as Music, Production design and really brings you into the world of Nograj and his shenanigans! Highly recommended watch!

The movie isn't a great debut for Danish Sait. Though his acting has been (marginally) good, the film fails to capitalize on the hype it created. To be frank, you can hardly find scenes make you laugh. Just a couple of scenes are fine for a laugh. The videos uploaded on the internet by Danish Sait were much more laughable than the ones in the movie. The gay characters in the movie have no groove in the movie, but shows the mediocrity of the characters in the movie.
The character Monjunath and Lavanya have been potrayed well. Some scenes in the movie which Danish potrays have no realism, like that which he does in the powering the D.S Nagar area, where he enters a random family. Puneeth Rajkumar enters the movie in a college function, which was perhaps only added when the producers realized that movie wouldn't do much in the Box Office.
Saad Khan could had done much better, but thanks to other co-directors who have made it enough bearable to watch once. There is one scene in which Danish Sait couldn't speak Urdu properly, which is actually his mother tongue. If you are a Danish Sait fan, you may only like to forget the movie after you watch for once.

For a debutante, Danish has done really well, portraying a funny but corrupt Kannada Politician. the strong supporting cast of Stand-up comedians Vamsi and Sumukhi, aided by Shruti, Roger and Vijay chendoor have done well to complete the package.
The movie is good for fans of Danish Sait's usual performances as the stereotypical Bangalore Kannadiga with their hopelessly bad command over the English language and grammar. It isn't for people expecting a ground-breaking political comedy.
Definitely worth a one-time watch, especially for the Funnier-in-real-life cast and the bold statements the film tries to make !

Humble Politician Nograj is going to make you laugh.The movie is more hilarious than you would think. You will be surprised to see how creative some of those "stupid", funny and ridiculous scenes are.They picked just the right people for this comedy. You can expect dirty, funny, sexy, ridiculous! Not over the top , just laughs and a somewhat sentimental story. Director has clearly tried to send the people a message in between those laughs.
Danish Sait : what a performer , since he started his career in 2009 , his prime motive was to make people laugh and he doesn't let you down this time too. His flawless execution of the character Nograj deserves an applaud. His voice modulation for the role is too good and he always has been a champion in this department. I felt the run time for the movie could have been 30 minutes shorter but nonetheless it is a great movies. Saad Khan and Danish Sait : make us laugh again with your future projects.
