How the hell did it get such a high score on IMDb

One of the most overrated film I have seen in this year...

The film uses every possible platitude of a family drama. A stereotyped story sprinkled with an overdose of moral values are presented in an extremely tangled manner.

The story is mediocre, the screenplay is good, the direction is bad and cinematography is even worse. Director tries to manipulate audience emotionally at various points but sadly it doesn't work out. If the director may have tried to present the story in some different manner, it might have felt better. The narration uses every possible cliché present in these types of movie.

The film was even confused about its own course. It begins as a family drama which quickly shifts into a romantic comedy, then into a conspiracy thriller and then it turns into an action fare and ends with an overdose of family values. A lot of scenes were beyond logical explanation which acts like another nail in the coffin.

While I am not denying its noble intention but convoluted supervision descends the calibre of this movie.

Even Puneeth was not in its peak form. While he was good mostly but in certain scenes, it seemed like he was just sleepwalking. Priya was just there to fill the seat of the romantic interest of the protagonist. Rest of the supporting cast was good.

The things I liked about this movie was its comedy, its music, dancing by Puneeth and the montage of Rajkumar sir during end credits. Other than these, everything thing was so messed up.

So, overall an overrated film which tries to conquer contemporary grounds but turns out into nothing more than a projection of stereotyped senectitude of cinema. Strictly average movie..
