The mayflower trees, the empty roads,
the premier and ambassador cars, the clothes, the Rs2/- note, the chilly
feel.I was keenly watching to find some fault with the representation of
Bangalore in the 1980s and somewhere along the line forgot all about it, thanks
to the nostalgia I was sucked into - of Bangalore during my childhood days.The
Bangalore some of us sorely miss.it really was "aa dinagalu".those
days.sigh!
Glad to have caught this movie despite
its low key publicity.not that my husband would have spared me.his first
ever play in college was directed by Chaitanya the director of this
movie!
The interweaving of a romance alongside
the true Goondagiri story of the 1980s Bangalore is excellent. The characters
remain in your mind.Sharat Lohitashwa, Atul Kulkarni, Ashish Vidyarthi have
done a fab job. Sharat Lohitashwa reminds you of the intensity yesteryear actor
Lokesh used to have. The young couple is good and adds a freshness. Ilayaraja
reminds you as to why he is still the king of heart stirring melodies. The
script is tight and fantastic. The execution is superbly handled by the director
who has shown extreme sensitivity while not giving in to unecessary dramatism or
glorification. Kannada cinema seems interesting with this one!
