    A slow paced crime thriller which completely fizzles out!

    The film shows how a blind man saves a young school girl from getting killed by a man who is bent on avenging his family's death due to a judgement given by the girl's father, a Supreme court judge. Shivanna's acting as the blind man is laudable. However the film totally fails to entertain the viewer due to the lack of genuineness in the script. Apart from the last 20 minutes of the film which is quite thrilling, the rest of the movie goes really slow making you yawn throughout! There are a few melodious emotional songs in the film but other than that, the rest all components seems to have failed to deliver! Overall the film has a lot of plot holes due to which it completely fizzles out without having any impact on the viewer!

    Good movie

    Complete Movie

    Positives: 1) Shivaraj Kumar and Vasishta Action. I believe this is the best performance for them so far (Just to let you know I am teluguitte and watched thousands of movies so far in Telugu,English,Hindhi,Kannada and Tamil.) 2) Best Direction and Emotions especially court seen and Climax (Literally I cried when I watched these scenes) 3) All songs are excellent especially rekkayya and Yaronee(This is the best motivational song for the past few years) and Kannera(What an emotion I am sure all of us has the human element and I can bet at least 95% cry when they hear this song while watching movie) 4) Cinematography- No doubt they are the best except 1 or 2 scenes 5) All characters are made very simple and no extra drama any where

    Negatives: Remake as per few negative thinkers( Let me tell you one thing. I watched both Oppam in Malayalam and Kanupapa in telugu.I agree Mohanlal is the best actor and Priyadarshan is one of the best director. But this movie is an exception as Shiva and Director made this movie atleast 2 times better than the Original content. Comment for negative thinkers: The facebook and Google whatever we are using invented by Other countries and we should adopt every good thing from others irrespective of who invented or told. Most of the movies and Hits in Telugu and Tamil are inspired from the Original content like Dhruva, tagore, Khaidi No.150 ...etc.

    Final conclusion: This is the best movie 2019 so far for Kannadigas and must watch. I bet all of you will come out of the movie lot of emotions between your family, father and daughter

    Contrived and Convenient Writing With Good Acting

    The film is a fun family watch and there are moments which are good as in commercially while there are important serious scenes which tends to be a joke. The writing is contrived and convenient. Some scenes are very silly. And why is Amrutha and Vashishta made to appear so unusually dark? It looks very fake. The film could have been brought down to 90 minutes or so by cutting down the very below average songs and a lot of unnecessary scenes. If the film were an hour shorter, I would have given it another star.

    Do not believe those who have given a 10/10 for this movie because that means they are saying this is the best movie there ever exists and THAT itself is a joke or shows their low mentality in watching movies. Now that doesn't mean you believe those who have given it a 1/10. Even those are 'blinded' by hatred towards an actor or the film.
