    Dont support such personalities

    Movie may be good or bad. Hero of the Movie, Dhananjaya is not at all a good person. He keeps on hurting Hindu Sentiments. He doesn't know how to respect people and this country. I will never watch his movies even if he makes oscar winning ones, I don't want to support such hate spreading personalities. What you give to society matters alot.

    I will never watch any of his movies in theatre. What he give is what he gets back, which is hate.

    I never suggest his movies to anyone, anytime, anywhere.

    Better watch KANTARA movie which is very nice which is running in all the theatres now. First become human being dhananjaya.

    Head Bush: depicting harsh reality of 70's Bangalore

    This film will surely linger in the minds of audiences for a very long time. The film does not have even a single boring moment. It strongly engages the attention of the audiences.

    Movie recreates the period between 1974-78. The characters have come out very well on the screen. We can feel the breathings of Indira Gandhi , Barua and Devaraj Urs. M. D Nataraj, F M Khan and Guddu Rao walk and talk in front of us.

    The rowdies of that era were presented realistically and honestly. They were brutal but emotional. They were strong but always attacks in groups.

    This movie is based on a book written by a popular writer Agni Sreedhar. The name of the book itself is catchy: My Days In The Underworld. Agni Sreedhar just has not seen the underworld but participated in it. So he knew the characters he portrayed in his work very closely. So he knew what he was recording was totally authentic. Nobody has raised any questions on the authenticity of his work.

    After tasting huge success in the literary world of Kannada language he shifted to cine medium. His previous films 'aa dinagalu' and 'edegarike' cult status internationally. And definitely this movie will add to that legacy.

    The movie depicts he Bangalore city of that era and traces the raise and fall of 'Indira Brigade' organisation. It was a part of congress party. The top leader of that informs her subordinate leaders to create an organisation of tough youths to fight feudalism.

    Devaraj Urs implements it in his state Karnataka. And nominates his son in law M D Nataraj as his states head. And he in turn selects M P Jayaraj as the head of Bangalore city.

    M P Jayaraj started carrying out the ugly works instructed by MDN. And the group starts amassing huge wealth. And also becoming strong power centre of the congress party.

    Tension stats when the right hand of M P Jayaraj , one Ganga pleads with Jayaraj to select his bother Venu to carry the image of goddess on his head during Karaganda festival. But the permission was not granted by the C M.

    Ganga attacks Jayaraj during the festival. But Jayaraj survives. F M Khan sends Ganga out of Bangalore city.

    Gang war erupts. Jayaraj gang attack each and every associate of Ganga to know the whereabouts of him. Police become mere onlookers in the happenings.

    Opposition criticises congress government. C M was forced to change the commissioner of the city.

    The stress affects the family relationship of Jayaraj. His wife makes one statement which was not there in the entire history of the underworld cinema: ' you and your opponents are all gaandus ( cowards).... not fighters or soldiers '. And she leaves him.

    Ultimately Jayaraj attacks Ganga in the court hall in front of the judge.

    And the opponents of the C M took the advantage and got the Indira brigade shelved. And backs one Kotwal Ramachandra to control the Bangalore underworld.

    The movie maintains a healthy pace in the first half and achieves momentum in the second half.

    Movie of sensitive nuances. And a treat to watch.

    Worst movie. Don't belive the fake hype of daali Dhananjay fans

    Worst movie of the year. Black spot of kannada movies. Useless story and horrible direction. Only boasting of Don jayraj in turn boasting of daali Dhananjay. Don't waste your money for this piece of time waste. Meaningless sequence of songs. Amateur direction. One hour script has been dragged. If you are a doped fan idiot like few who bad mouth the real reviewer then this movie is made for you. Looks like Shruti hariharan has been given a role may be to satisfy some real anti social elements of the society. Anti social elements have been glorified as heros in this movie. Don't waste your hard earned money.

    #onetimewatchable

    Exposing the underbelly of Bengaluru, it has political elements of betrayal, friendship, and love written from various perspectives. But, unfortunately, it turns out to glorify Dhananjaya as Jayaraj, and several other characters remain as caricatures without flesh and blood. While the film fails to transport the audience to the '70s Bengaluru - the blame of which should go to the director, art director, and cinematographer - it is important to remember that this is only the first of two parts. If they right their wrongs from this film, Head Bush 2 might turn out to be as good as an Aa Dinagalu.
