I don't watch a lot of kannada films...I pick and choose and look for kannada films that are popular and we'll appreciated, hence happened to stumble on Kirk Party! The IMDB ratings ensured that I gave it a try and I did. Result: A little disappointed!
To start off I am really surprised that this film has such a cult following among audience...while everyone has a different taste but over the years I have seen that the really successful films have something unique that appeals to almost everyone the quantum of appeal could be different but appeal is undeniable.
What works for Kirk Party is without a doubt the premise of engg college, boy meets girl and heartbreak that kind of is a magic formula...add to it popular actors you have a recipe for success! However when I started watching this film the initial set up was fine, infact the first half keeps you hooked without absolutely blowing you away. However, the second half is a real dampener....the lethargic pace does no good...I almost had to wait when the movie would end... The story in the second half is very uneven and slow ...the life goes out of the film.... Technically everything is in place without being spectacular....Actors have done justice. May be I had very high expectations, I expected it to be a lot more fun...the heartbreak angle did not land effectively... thought was over stretched the second half was whimsical to say the least.
