I am a kannadiga. I disliked the movie. Here's the constructive criticism based reasons:
1. Movie name ; deceptive marketing in the name of Kannada: The core skeleton of the movie is a personal revenge crime investigation rather than being kannada patriotism based ( which is in fact made clear in the movie itself). In reality, the phrase 'kannad gottilla' stands for a language based social issue on which, many kannadigas are taking certain genuine measures in many fields, in many ways. This movie has almost nothing to do with that.
2. Usage of a very disturbing suicide scene for TRP .
3. Towards the end of movie , they again try to convey some language based message surprisingly targetting kannadigas themselves - which has almost nothing to do with how to solve the 'kannad gottilla' issue in the society.
4. 'Crime investigation based movies anyway run well'- Director's shouldn't try to use this formula all the time. We need to come up with better Kannada movies especially when you use 'Kannada ' in the theme.
Positives:
1. However, I am glad that someone atleast made a horrible attempt to bring this topic up in the kannada cine field.
2. There was some entertainment factor for sure.
