To me, this movie is perfection.

A different way of telling a story

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

It's been long since I stopped watching multi-starrers be it Kannada or Hindi. This one just delights you with your favorite stars and a pretty interesting story line too. Sudeep has done a pretty good job and looks cool. I'm quite thrilled by Ravichandran's acting.. Yes.. He's still got it... He looks amazing too... Despite everybody's good performance Ravichandran simply takes over the second half...He delights his fans with this mature role and a remarkable balance he's got when it comes to acting. A nice family drama which keeps you engaged from the beginning but the actual story starts after the intermission. Vijay (Sudeep)'s actual intentions are not unpredictable yet the way it unfolds wouldn't bore you. Fight scenes are little too much for someone who's not so much into Action. Overall, it's a good story well told and a movie well made.

Its the hit of 2014 grossing big bucks and housefull shows all over the state. Firstly its a remake of telugu hit "Mirchi". Secondly, its the Charisma of Veterans like V.Ravichandran,Ramyakrishna,Avinash,Shobharaj etc and Arjun Janyas Music are the plus Points of the Movie ! Oly negative point to say is the selection of heroines who are not so impressive! Sudeep has donned the hat of director and the protogonist in the best possible way,A lavish film made with a budget of 12crores and a worth watch for Family and action genre lovers. It marked the come back of Ramyakrishna and also the reunion of Crazystar and her after the Landmark film YEKANGI. One more notable point is the Crew selection, Sudeeps wins accolades for it. Ravichandran is just apt to the role, which has majesty and power with a Love and peaceful coating ! Overall, a must watch film...Refrshing if u hav nt seen the original,, If u hav seen the original, go catch it still for the excellent star cast, Ravi-Ramyakrishna and music at least !

The movie has so many positives to become a super hit despite being a remake of telugu blockbuster 'Mirchi'. First attraction is the casting of the movie. Crazy star is amazing with his acting as a village head. Sudeep is becoming a class movie maker over the years and he meets the audiences' expectations. Music, action and comedy is well placed in the movie to keep entertained through out the movie. Overall a great treat for Kannadigas. This sets a great break through for making a remake movie in Kannada. Standard has been set very (no doubt sudeep took to make this one to perfect). Just go with your family, friends and watch this one and enjoy.
