    A simplistic classic Kannada movie!

    This movie keeps you entertained till the very end. One of the finest movies made in Sandalwood this year! With rib tickling dialogues in truly Mangalurean style and having really emotional sequences, this movie is a treat to watch. There are a lot of references to Dr. Rajkumar in the movie, which gives you goosebumps if you're Annavru's fan. Also a simple yet a unique script, the movie is worth watching more than once!

    Nicely made movie

    Very nice made, but for that content, it should have been little shorter, or should have little more content. overall, we enjoyed. Family movie, good amount of comedy, drama is there.

    It has depicted the emotions very well and connects to the audience. It's slow moving, sometimes audience may feel little bored.

    A masterpiece filled with comedy

    Just a brilliant movie... I can relate to it because I am also going bald... Excellent acting and superb direction... Must watch movie... I watched this on Amazon prime thought will watch this movie for 15 to 20 minutes but ended up watching the whole movie.

    Movie was good and the storyline

    Ondu motteya kathe is a very good movie showing one particular part of the society whonis facing the problema of baldness and the character sketched and highlighted in the movie named narayana. It was very good in terms of narrative, storyline, direction, acting, etc. I liked the movie and i feel it would have been better if some improvements were given. So my rating for this movie is 9 out of 10 which indicates that the movie is watchable and can be recommended to someone to watch. The movie is available in some platforms which cane be watched freely too. So finally ondu motteya kathe is a good movie especially the segments of acting by narayana and others in characters of the movie.

    Feel good movie!!

    A very simple movie narrating the bride hunt of a bald protagonist. Though the climax is predictable and cinematic, the narration doesn't lack pace and keeps you engaging and entertained. The casting was perfect and Raj B Shetty fits 'T' to this role.
