      Good Script, Good Acting, Good Direction

      I would had given an 8 to this movie if it was not for the climax in the movie. I should say that the Mangalore Gang has a good sense in making quality Kannada movies. They have the ability to know how to balance the commercial aspects of the movie, and also keep the movie artistic also.

      This movie is like 'Gowli' movie which released a few months ago, but more commercial aspects in this movie. Raj B Shetty seems to have found the jest of making movies apt for him. You can see a little of Garuda Gamana Vrishaba Vahana in this movie. Raj kills the movie, while Samyukta has her part as the opposite. Other actors make you immersed in the movie. Wish the Shetty Gang, also known as Karnataka's Malabar for making Mallu style movies here.

      RBS show, out-and-out.

      Leave it to Sandalwood (when was the last time somebody said that?) to seamlessly write tradition into generic plots, this one a revenge drama and doesn't have as much tradition as GGVV did.

      Raj Shetty - 1 of the 2 reasons why I watched this film (2 - Kannada is a fun language) and I wasn't disappointed. If his previous content doesn't already show, this man can really act! Props to Chaithra Achar and the child actor as well.

      Was the film mindblowing? No, very predictable and slow. I wish they'd made a better choice of edits in the trailer, it spoiled a few things. I really liked how the story was written/told, though. Credits - RBS, boy can he write!! Some of the shots and the frames were brilliant!

      Super loved the movie!!!. I was drawn deep into Toby's world right from the word go.. My heart and soul was all feeling for Toby, amazing performance from Raj B Shetty. You are an very talented actor.. loved all of your movies right from Ondu Motteya Kathe.. to Toby.. Raj's eyes speak a lot, they are so intense and talk loudly, instills a sense of fear, happiness, sadness.. OMG!!! He's just amazing!! And when he giggles especially at night when he thinks about the lady he met at the police station..that's simply amazing, it's so cute, adorable.. you can actually feel him. Action scenes were too good. It's all the way Raj!!!Raj!!!Raj!!! I super love you, you are so talented!!! Chaitra and Samyukta, you guys are simply amazing.. you guys add a lot of character and depth along with Raj in Toby's story.. hats off to you guys for your amazing talent.

      Good performance. But predictable story line.

      Movie is one time watchable. Neither extraordinary nor bad.

      Raj B Shetty's performance is very good in the movie.

      The story line is taken along in similar lines as Garuda Gamana Vrishaba Vahana (GGVV). But it is not as gripping as GGVV.

      The story becomes kind of predictable.

      GGVV is great. Nothing can match that. One suggestion to Raj B Shetty is that, please move on from same story line. Try something a bit different now.

      We have seen underworld related stories from our coastal side in Uliravaru Kandanthe, GGVV and now this.

      When we see these movies, we start to feel like is underworld that bad there? It feels like we can't survive.

      I know it is not as bad as it is shown in movies.

      We need to see different side of our coastal Karnataka.

      Not as expected, very much predictable

      As any other movie, this movie starts with the introduction to the character Toby but it takes too much time. Toby written on the palm is shown atleast half a dozen time and it gets irritating rather than creating curiosity.

      The police inspector character looks very pale. Every character speaks with a long pause that the people in the theatre started talking.

      The 2nd half picks up little pace, but the climax is very much predictable, thanks to the trailer.

      A person stabbed multiple times and declared almost dead can be seen fighting and killing dozens of goondas within few minutes, just like any masala high octane movie. Bizzare costume and actions cannot elevate the experience.

      For example, when the main character is crying during climax, we cannot sympathize with him.

      Raj was liked for his story telling and much realistic approach. But here, though the premises looks authentic, it's just like another run-of-the-mill movie.

      Music and cinematography are top notch. Acting is very good, especially Jenny (both kid and adult).

      But, the content itself is so mediocre especially for the Shetty 'genre', felt so much disappointed. Hope Raj doesn't fall for the love of stardom.
