Touted
to
be
a
comedy-drama,
Raghavendra
Stores
starring
Jaggesh,
hit
the
screens
amid
decent
buzz
on
April
28.
The
movie
was
met
with
a
mixed
response
at
the
box
office,
upon
its
release.
Raghavendra
Stores
is
written
and
directed
by
Santhosh
Ananddram.
The
movie
charts
the
journey
of
Hayavadana,
played
by
Jaggesh,
a
40-year-old
diligent
cook.
He
often
cooks
special
delicacies
and
opens
an
outlet
named
Raghavendra
Stores.
It
becomes
widely
popular
and
orders
start
to
pour
in.
However,
there
is
an
unexpected
event
that
occurs
to
him,
changing
his
life
forever.
In
the
undertone,
the
film
dabbles
with
topics
like
late
marriages,
infertility,
surrogacy,
adoption,
hunger,
and
the
deeply
rooted
feelings
of
caste
and
politics.
The
movie
although
had
a
great
platform
and
a
story
to
tell,
is
overburdened
by
the
same
topics
put
together.
There
is
no
focus
and
connection
to
the
characters
in
the
film,
which
doesn't
make
it
a
compelling
watch.
Shwetha
Srivatsav,
Achyuth
Kumar,
Dattana,
Mithra,
and
Ravishankar
Gowda
among
others
played
key
roles
in
the
movie.
