Firstly huge shout out to Darshan’s acting and screen presence, also to Umapathy films for the rich making. A long commercial cinema filled with cliches largely holds the audience attention due to these two factors. When I say long, the length of the film becomes a little too tideous filled with unnecessary song placements in the second half after a very entertaining and engaging first half. Hari Krishna’s BGM is a huge plus too.
Directors should stop taking the intelligent Kannada audience for granted because we are almost exposed to all types of South Indian movies unlike the other states of south India and hence a mishmash of many Mass movies is easily identified by us and leaves us asking for something more and better at the end of the movie.
With the range and variety of Mass stars that Kannada industry has which includes likes of Darshan, Sudeep, Yash, Upendra, Shivarajkumar etc., Directors and Writers with a really good content can do wonders at the box office.
