The other reviewers have already done justice in praising "Upendra" the director and the film, especially the one who said this movie made them change the way they viewed the world - believe me, that person isn't alone! I think it made a whole generation of ours to do the same. Only Upendra could envision this monster of a movie and actually pull it off! Kudos to him. If you haven't watched it yet I cannot recommend this one highly enough. Go for it, last I checked it's available for free viewing on YouTube.
Sheer brilliance .This movie is still so fresh and engrossing. Movie brings out the double standards followed by humans . It is a philosophical movie told in a exciting , unusual and unbelievable way by Upendra. Movie Opening Scene, title song and climax are extraordinary.
Movie brings out the selfishness and egoistic attitude of the human beings to the core with a extraordinary climax which is open ended. It raises questions on the hypocrite society with 'Nanu' Character.
Upendra as a director has proved once again he is way ahead of the time to give a extraordinary movie. Waiting for its sequel Uppi 2 .

This is my all time favourite movie!
My way of perceiving the world totally changed after watching it.
I have watched it innumerable times, yet find something new to learn every time I watch. Upendra questions our human culture as a whole! He points out the hypocrisy in all of us! By keeping three women as his main characters(Happiness, responsibilities and wealth) in the movie, he shows how obsessions make one's life chaotic. In the climax he beautifully explains how the I and MINE mindset in a person directly have an influence on his happiness and sadness.
For anybody watching it the first time - You need to watch it at least twice to be able to make out what the movie really says!!
Hats off to Uppi sir for his efforts!

Upendra, the guy who narrated an Indian philosophical concept in a terrific commercial way which no one did ever in Indain cinema history. He is the guy who can think like what the rest of the world cannot think ever. The movie is a 2D story plot which deals with one's personal life along with his desire to become powerful in the world. And he is the worlds(50) best director who placed in 17th position in IMDB list. This movie ran 200 days succesfully in karnataka and completed 150 days in Andhrapradesh. Upendra Become popular in south INDIA after his ''A'' movie along with ''UPENDRA''. Screenplay was marvellous and fans were crazy about this movie.
Just watch the film. Hero characterization is never seen in any indian movie history. My back luck I have seen after 20 years of this movie release. Worth watch.
