It starts with life of a constable who enjoys simple things in life, cherishes food and keeps everyone around him happy.
Turn of events puts focus on his lack of fitness. When we think that the movie is about how he gets into good shape physically, there is a twist to the story and slowly the suspense element builds up. It ends with fitting climax.
Technically movie is good. Director has kept the screenplay simple, trying to mix up comedy with suspense.
Acting wise, everyone has given their best.
Diganth has an important role and he just lives in it. He deserves much more in our industry.
Pramod Shetty also given his best.

Overall it's a very beautifully designed movie. Family audience will definitely enjoy this movie. No vulgarity at all... You feel like it is happening in your family...
Diganth acting came out very well,
The twist in the end of the story will be never expected and will be filled with fun.

I expected some good laughter, but there was almost none. They tried so hard to make it seem comical, but its not easy to write comedy for sure. The story too was just nothing special or even anything commendable. And ending was like not sure why they went that route, probably wasn't sure what to do with how that ended. Everyone's acting is just average, nothing really stands out. There is even less family dynamics, seems more like friends camp too, no real connection, forced love story angle, there was no daughter mother connection too, felt like they just got up some child to play the daughter, and a lady as mother, and some guy to play husband, father in law who runs an orchestra camp, and another camp of police who seems just chilling, like no real work sort off. There was no heart in the story or for the comedy or for relationship or even I don't know what big thing to bring Diganth too in this. He just came across as side character without any substance. Decent one time watch.
This film is a refreshing addition to Kannada cinema, proving that even low-budget movies can have a strong impact-something often seen in Malayalam films. The narration is well-executed, keeping the audience engaged for the most part. While a few scenes might feel slightly distracting, the story quickly regains its grip, pulling the viewer back into its world.
The performances are commendable, and the technical aspects, including cinematography and background score, are well-crafted. However, the film stumbles in its climax. While some might find it convincing, I personally felt it was a letdown. I expected a more fitting resolution, but the final moments felt both illogical and impractical.
With a tighter screenplay and a more satisfying conclusion, this film could have garnered even greater appreciation and reach. Despite its flaws, it's still a decent watch and a commendable effort in Kannada cinema.
