Auto Shanker Movie Review

Story -writer Ajaykumar has rehashed some of the yesteryear hit Kannada films of Dr.Rajkumar era. The box office hit of Dr.Rajkumar 'Sampathige Savaal' is the inspiration for 'Auto Shanker'. Nevertheless this is a high voltage action packed film with dose of sentiments, comedy, good music and photography. Upendra and Shilpa Shetty steal the show.

Auto Shanker (Upendra) is jovial and generous. He comes to the rescue of his colleague when the moneylender Maaya (Shilpa Shetty) creates ruckus on the road. The insult Maya meets further boils up the situation. When Shanker father without informing him borrows money from Maya and not able to return the interest on time the hell breaks out. But Shanker throws the money his father has borrowed overnight. This further enrages Maaya and she takes a step to bring the entire Auto Shanker colony to come to streets. Now Shanker comes to Maaya's doorstep for help. Maya lends money on conditions. When Shanker fails to give back Maaya is aspiring for revenge but Shanker bounce back with legal points in lending money. He is of course studying in evening college the director register it. The ultimatum now comes from Maaya. She goes to the extent of killing Shanker but becomes a house arrest. Maaya is kept in a cow shed and she is taught a lesson. At this time Shanker comes to know the past of Maaya. Shanker shakes the entire gang of Maaya's mother Kalamma and gang. Shanker now takes the help of Tata Sumo instead of auto and reduces the power of opponents. In the midst Maaya receives injury. Shanker gives his blood and saves Maaya. After recovery Maaya realizes what is life and how important money is in front of morality. She gives back the entire money to the people and begs for admission in the life of Shanker.

This is a loud film. The length is the disgusting point. We feel like watching two films. Senior director D.Rajendra Babu should have cut the film by at least 30 percent to make it crisp entertainer. There is a smell of Telugu films in this Kannada film.

Upendra and Shilpa Shetty have equal roles. But Upendra with his agile looks and wonderful dialogue delivery, stunts and dance gets full marks. What is notable is that Bollywood heroine Shilpa Shetty approving for deglamourised role. Telengana Shakuntala is a pain to watch. Radhika doing the second heroine role shows her mettle in two song sequences with Upendra. Sadhu Kokila's comedy is an eye opener.

Gurukiran has given three lovely tunes - Kachi Kachi Ninna Thinnala.., Raja Nanna Raja (retuned from Dr.Rajkumar film Sampathige Savaal) and Ready Ready..., live long in the memory. H.C.Venu as cameraman disturbs the eyes in some places but over all he has showed great degree of skill.

An above average entertainer! This is a wonderful treat to Upendra fans.

Buddhivantha Kannada Movie Review

Upendra's new film Budhdhivantha directed by Ramnath is the remake of K.Balachandar directed Naan Avanillai released three decades ago. Though Budhdhivantha's main story revolves around the Tamil film which was based on a Marati play written by Acharya Atre.

The narration of the Kannada film has many things common with the recently released Tamil film with the same title directed by Selvam. Even the song tunes of the Tamil film have been lifted in Budhdhivanth which are however well choregraphed. Budhdhivanatha can not be out rightly dismissed as another remake film because of many original inputs that have gone towards the making the film.

The first and foremost is that the climax sequence of the film has been altered to suit the image of Upendra and also the native tests. It is the best part of the film. The court sequences in the film are much better than what was seen in two versions in Tamil. And the Rayalaseema portions where Upendra speaks Telugu dialogues and spoofs some Telugu heroes is outstanding.

Upendra shines as an actor and a writer and his contribution to make the film an entertaining product can not be undermined. Though he has shared the dialogues work with Venkatnarayan, it is evident that he has written dialogues for the key sequences and in the court room sequences. The film's five heroines have jelled well with the Real Star. Vijay Anthony's exceptional music and Giri's photography have been the major highlights of the film.

The story revolves around Panchamrutha who has been charged by four women that they have been cheated by them. Panchamrutha is arrested and produced in court, but he claims that he is innocent. He argues that the gullible girls have been cheated by some one looking like him and they have foisted falls cases on him. Finally he argues the case on his own and wins the battle in court. Meanwhile, the Judge's daughter who is watching the proceedings becomes a great fan of Panchamrutha. Finally Panchamrutha reveals as to why he had played tricks with the four women.

Upendra rocks in the film from the first sequence. His performance in this film can be regarded as one of the best in recent times. And his seven get ups are the highlights of the film. Lucky girl Pooja Gandhi attracts with a bubbly performance. Suman Ranganathan is also good. Nethanya, Brunda and Saloni have performed their roles with ease.

Budhdhivantha's strong point has been the picturisation of songs which perfectly fit into the song compositions. Chithranna Chithranna has already made a big impact in the audio world. All the songs are excellently shot. R.Giri's cinematography with its top angle movements is exceptional. The editing ensures a very good pace.

Budhdhivantha is a definite entertainer which gives full value for the paisa you spend. Watch it and enjoy.
