    Worst movie ever.

    Worst movie ever third class movie full of double meaning dialogue. They tried to tell the moral but the way they use languages or double meaning dialogs are spoil everything. Not family movie. Not at all good movie. No motivation, no message nothing in the movie. .They try to say other movies expose more but they too went same way... Exposing Or double meaning dialogue both are not accepted. This type of movies gives bad name to kannada film industries. Make sone movies that motivates all learn something good. Try to keep society healthy. But this type of movies just nonsense. I thought it's good comedy movie but felt worst movie after watching.

    I'm not sure whether director eats food or Co**om

    Really worst movie, Seriously this guy Vijayaprasad needs to be admitted in NIMHANS for treating his worst mindset. Filthy story, Vulgar dialogues is the major screenplay of this movie. I'm not sure why Haripriya and Ninasam Satish chose this filthy script. If sitaramam director watch this movie, he'll surely skin Vijayaprasad alive for worst screenplay. He's the biggest disgrace for Kannada Film Industry and should be booted out for hurting family sentiments. Sunny Leone's Censored movie is far more better than this rogue Vijayaprasad movie, Haripriya should have been reprimanded by public for choosing this horrible script.

    Great entertainer!

    Amazing screenplay, good sense of humour, no attempt to project heroism, great but subtle message to the society -- it has everything to make it a MUST watch movie.

    If you liked Jaggesh's Neer Dose movie, you would love this as well, follows the similar short, straight forward dialogues, lot of outdoor shooting that looks candid & a few bold scenes.

    Loved the message to the person watching, you are not orphan by birth -- but based on how you grow up in the society & take care of parents. It comes out in a subtle manner, sprinkled with a lot of humor.

    This is my first IMDB Rating, and looking at current rating of 5.9, it's a shame & insult to the director / producer.. I really hope Sathish does more such movies / scripts in this genre.

    Worst movie ever

    I have never seen such a pointless movie plot ever. From the beginning to the end it was a bore with weird sexual puns which was not funny at all. The adult jokes or sexual references are unwanted or baseless in most of the scenes. We all enjoy a joke but this was just plain cringe. The actors need to introspect as to why they even tried to make such a meaningless baseless movie. In the name of sentimentality or mother's love, they should not try to sell cringey dialogues or sexual puns. If you really want to add sexual unwanted puns, atleast make it funny or logical.

    By far the worst movie ever made.

    Third class

    Not good. Cheap dialogues. Not recommend to watch it with family. Never expected this from Pa pa pandu director. His neerdose was clicked due to some story elements and seriousness in the script. But here that is lacking. Two main characters enjoying with third class dialogues are irritating to audience. Fully dramatic climax. Its quite embrassing when some of the eminent senior actors also telling stupid nonsense dialogues. Everything has a limit. If you want to make adult movie then make with proper announcement. Add erotic scenes. People who want to watch they ll watch. Pl.don't make this kind of movies with crampy dialogues it will spoil the young generation. Society has its own standards. Never think that everyone are thinking in your way.
