The film is overrated by those who have been tortured by bad Kannada films. When a film shows something you haven't seen in your film industry your mind tends to feel it's a good film. People have been tired of watching the same old gangsters roaming in Bengaluru with manchettes that anything that doesn't have such goonda characters look healthy and divine. But the good films in Kannada are the ones that don't have star actors in it and thus the distribution too is either limited or nil. These films are heard only when they win the National or international awards.
Vikrant Rona's VFX looks like VFX. Every bit be it the jungle or the devasthana. VFX should look so realistic that one doesn't find the difference between what's real and what's VFX. The lighting too is so bad throughout the film that I am hardly interested to waste my energy to 'observe' anything. Sudeep's make up in the close up shot in the climax is so bad I could see the fake patch on his face. LOL. The cliché thing about every hero vs villain fight is that no matter how much the hero is hit, beaten or shot he gets up and fights and survives but one shot to the villain and he falls dead. Nirup has used that formula here.
The film keeps moving nowhere for the first one hour and if you miss the first one hour you won't miss anything. It's all in the trailer & in the IMDB premise of the film.
The actors have done a mediocre job with everyone showing their theatre drama acting except for Constable Gowda whose dialogue delivery is impeccable and feels very raw. Congrats to him. Everyone else especially Karthik Rao Kordale & Nirup Bhandari have been very over dramatic from the get go in their acting & dialogue delivery.
The screenplay has so many unwanted moments. As said before the film tends to just waste time for the first one hour. One of the twists in the film is directly copied from the twist in the Tulu film 'Yesa' (which too is taken from some western film that don't remember now). The little girl's character is shot in such a way that it is very clear from the beginning itself about her existence. You know what am saying!
The songs are below average, the romance is pathetic, the casting too is meh.
What's good is one shot of Sudeep that is stunning in visuals, constable Gowda and the second half is bearable. After Anup Bhandari's previous outing 'Rajaratha' went cold, he has gone back to the same old 'Rangitaranga' set up, same scares, same loud sound effects but without a good story or music.
