This film introduces a new team from the producer and director to the artists and technicians. A fine brushing of this 170-minute narrative was necessary. The reason for this critique is the first half of the film. However, in the second half, director Chetan Chandrasekhara Shetty brings in everything. A mix and match were required. A dose of curiosity from the beginning is crucial. Of course, director Chetan Chandrasekhar Shetty shows sensibility at different points.
Following his mother’s (Sudharani) wish, the protagonist Arjuna (Jay Shetty) struggles for the betterment of his village. This village has supported a disenchanted blind mother and son. Arjuna is regarded as the best choice by the poor villagers because he has done an excellent job as Panchayat President. Arjuna targets the illegal activities of politicians and businessmen to make the village a model one.
The District Collector visits the village and develops an ego issue as Arjuna receives more appreciation and respect. Consequently, he joins forces with the village crooks, and Arjuna is wrongly framed and imprisoned. Due to a lack of evidence, Arjuna is released. At this point, the stammering Krishna, an advocate who has been a quiet friend of Arjuna, reveals his tricks.
What tricks does advocate Krishna use to bring the case of the missing DC to court? The court hall sees hectic arguments.
For the next absorbing elements, you have to watch the film on the silver screen. You will definitely find unexpected turns.
Jay Shetty needs to improve his acting and dialogue delivery but will certainly find his way in future films. Nisha Rajput as Swathi looks pretty and serene.
Sudharani, as the blind mother (after Anuraga Sangama), is appealing. Pramod Shetty, Bala Rajawadi, Rajendra Karanth, Bhavya, Prasanna, and Victory Vasu are apt in their supporting roles. The comedy track gives a wafer-thin push to the film.
The pairing of Krishna (Ashok Kumar) and Arjuna’s sister (Madhura Gowda) is a surprise. Despite his deficiency, Krishna’s handling of legal proceedings is commendable. The Krishna and Arjuna combination exemplifies friendship.
The mother song and the festival song are catchy. The cinematography is adequate. The editor should have cut 20 minutes of unnecessary scenes.
Producer Smt. Pratibha of Rajalakshmi Entertainment has provided full support for this family entertainer. The second half of the film is a real treat for audiences.
