Kannadigas let's please encourage such movies
It's a very decent movie and you never get bored even for a minute. I picked this movie based on the strong cast. All of them never disappointed. Direction-Screenply is good with some ways of telling things. Family movie with good comedy and drama. Over all good. Kannadigas let's please encourage such movies. You will not be disappointed. It's a very good concept to be corruption free but can people follow that. Hats off to director for such a subject and work. So many meaningless movies get screened and this is a gem. Casting is too good. This film may have made name if pandemic wasn't there. One more reason for me to pick this movie was our own dearest Puneet produced this. That gem a person would fund a movie only if it's good for society. Only if we encourage such movies. More people will fund such movies.
All hail Pataaki Paandu !!
I watched and rated this movie mainly for the character Pataaki Paandu !!
Always a genius when it comes to comedy acting. Hats off Saadu Sir !
"An entertaining comedy drama dealing with the demonetization hangover!"
Not many would have forgotten the day of 8th November 2016, when Modi had shocked almost everyone with his announcement on live TV that all 500 and 1000 rupees notes would be banned with immediate effect. This movie mainly shows the shock and awe of the note ban, coupled with a cracking sense of humour.
The story is based around 3 characters - an honest cop, a con artist & a hopeless romantic who are in need of money. They team up together to pull off a scam and make some big bucks. However it doesn't turn out to be a smooth ride for them and eventually things go terribly wrong! How exactly they come out of it forms the rest of the plot.
The film has numerous comedy sequences paired with some rib-tickling dialogues which will leave you laughing out loud and eventually asking for more! It also has an engaging screenplay without any dull moments, taking you on a fun ride with a neat approach. There is no indecent humour anywhere and is one of the success factors of this film.
The acting department predominantly plays a huge role in this film. Raj B Shetty turns out as a fab entertainer with his brilliant comic timing and expressions. Seasoned actor Achyuth Kumar's performance is really heartwarming and he has aced it! Vasishta N Simha charms with his humble and strong acting.
Prakash Raj impresses with his typical style of acting. Sadhu Kokila's role is to watch out for, as he has tried a tad different role this time and he shines out amazingly! And to surprise you, Huchha Venkat also has played a small role where he shows off his signature dialogues giving a 'mad' start to the film!
Overall, this turns out to be a great film to unwind yourself over the weekend and indulge in a fun filled ride of entertainment. Oh yes wait!!! There's also a peppy dance track featuring Power Star Puneeth Rajkumar at the end and Appu Sir stuns you with his magnificent dance moves!

Good movie
Excellent screen play . Movie looses suspense but this is definitely a thriller .This movie describes a police officer decides to make money to operate his wife who suffers from disease . Comedy elements are good. Director manages very well
Below average
This movie tries to be in the genre of crime-comedy with an emotional thread woven into it and fails miserably.
Raj B Shetty and Sadhu Kokila's acting and comedy skills are the only things good in this movie. Everything else is pathetic. When will pur directors and script writers come out of this stereotypical characters and trying to have complete package(drama, emotion, comedy etc).
If you want to do con movie just concentrate on that. If you want do a dark comedy it's just OK to have evil characters with situational comedy. There is no need to cook up a background story to say that they are basically very good but situation forced them to do bad movies. Stop doing this please!
If you really want to make a movie om inner turmoils of a good human driven to evil do a movie on that, don't do a light hearted comedy.
This movie Joins the club of infinitely many movies which are "Jack of all, master of none" and fails miserably even at being "jack of all".
