Raghavendra Stores

Before making movies like this, please go and learn how to direct movies. All the characters are half baked,not even a single character is fleshed out. There is no story at all. The title of the movie is also misleading. Jaggesh doing same old 90's vulgar comedy, all he does in the movie is trying to consummate his marriage and this goes for too long. May be he should try doing character roles, his time as a leading man is over or else he'll become like Govinda of KFI. Wonder why they fund such movies. Total waste of time. I think these people start filming and then make the script probably. 2/10 better skip it.

The performances in Raghavendra Stores are outstanding across the board.

The film beautifully captures the essence of a small-town setting. Visually, the film captures the essence of the small town with its vibrant color palette and attention to detail. The dialogues are sharp and laced with humor, often evoking genuine laughter from the audience. Raghavendra Stores opts for a slower, more contemplative rhythm, allowing the audience to savor the nuances of the characters and their interactions.

Overall, Raghavendra Stores is a delightful cinematic gem that reminds us to appreciate the little moments in life.

Hayavadana (Jaggesh) is in his 40's and extremely desperate to get married. He is even more desperate to consummate the marriage because 40 year old virginity. He works at his father's restaurant which is also into catering. After several rejections, he finally gets married to Vyjayanthi (Shweta Srivatsav), from a traditional family. It is a late marriage and as expected, they struggle to conceive. Parallely, story of an evil politician Kumar eyeing to be a Minister also runs. What all does the couple go through after marriage and how the politician's action gets synced to the couple's lire forms rest of the story.

Director Santosh Ananddram picks a good themed story and also a lasting message. But his issue with overstuffing the screenplay continues with this film as well. The entire sub plot involving the politician simply doesn't sync with the main story. Also, the emotions involving the couple and their family is only on the surface. The conflicts that get highlighted is resolved the very next scene. These things simply downplay everything resulting in the scenes being less effective despite having the potential.

If the film focused solely about the late marriage then it would have been really special. Entire first half is dedicated to the humor around Hayavadana's failed attempt to have sex with his new wife. Somehow the humor doesn't cross the line to be crude. In the second half, relevant issues of infertility due to late marriage is raised and the film truly picks up from here, followed by the surrogacy being opposed by his father.

The film definitely deserved a better screenplay and the tonal shifts should've been taken care off. The comedy is not the hilarious kind, not the cringe kind as well and the melodrama is extensive. Proper balanced screenplay simply would've made this a special film.

Saw this movie today with wife.

Good storyline, nice cast, tolerable songs.

Jokes weren't double meaning as u would usually expect in a jaggesh movie.....

As usual jaggesh acting s good. Good comic timing sense he has got. Shed some weight also I guess. He doesn't need any introduction in kannada cinema. He still has good acting/comedy sense. Just needs good stories and team for consistent hits.

Don't compare this movie to his previous movies. Almost zero nudity and doesnt try to impress with just jokes instead has good story/direction with jokes put in-between.

Female lead has done good acting too

Kudos to the director and his team.

Start it watch for 15 to 20 min than skip it to ending 15 min because in between all garbage poor dubbing worst direction and screenplay first flim becomes drama than comedy than adult comedy at last social drama i mean if you see the poster it will look like food drama but no it jumps between plot only good thing is representation of our culture and values i expected much from this flim because of hombale flims but it failed i mean they promoted this movie has hell i don't know for what talking about the acting typical and very bad acting by jaggesh the lead actress shwetha Shrivastava was not bad. Not recommended.
