Challenging
Star
Darshan
has
opted
for
variety
of
subjects
in
the
recent
years.
Be
it
his
blockbuster
Saarathi,
an
action-romantic
film,
action-thriller
Chingaari,
or
historical
Kranthiveera
Sangolli
Rayanna,
he
has
tried
to
do
different
kind
of
films.
As
a
result,
he
has
evolved
as
an
actor.
Now,
the
actor
has
teamed
up
with
MD
Shridhar,
who
had
worked
with
Darshan
in
Porki,
for
Bulbul.
The
latest
film
is
a
remake
of
Telugu
hit
film
Darling
and
the
film
is
made
under
Challenging
Stars'
home
banner
Thoogudeepa
Productions.
So,
obviously
people
will
have
huge
expectations
for
two
reasons.
Firstly,
Darshan
is
returning
after
three
consecutive
hits
and
the
film
is
made
under
his
home
banner,
which
has
produced
a
couple
of
hit
films.
Well,
has
the
film
lived
up
to
audience
expectations?
Read
on
the
review
to
know
it...
Ambareesh,
Ashok,
Ramesh
Bhat,
Sadhu
Kokila
and
Tennis
Krishna
are
friends
who
are
settled
in
different
places,
decide
to
meet
after
a
long
time.
Darshan
plays
the
role
of
Ambi's
son
named
Vijay,
who
is
poor
in
studies.
The
Challenging
Star
is
in
love
with
his
childhood
friend
Kaveri
(Rachita
Ram),
who
is
the
daughter
of
Ashok.
Meanwhile,
Ramya
Bharana,
who
is
in
love
with
Darshan,
tries
to
commit
suicide
after
he
refuses
her
proposal.
Her
don
father
played
by
Sharath
Lohitashwa
threatens
to
kill
the
Challenging
Star.
But
somehow
Vijay
convinces
him
by
narrating
a
fictitious
love
story
to
him.
However,
Vijay
learns
when
Kaveri
comes
to
his
place
that
she
does
not
have
such
feelings
towards
him.
He
tries
to
impress
her
in
so
many
ways,
but
she
does
not
respond
to
any
of
his
tricks.
How,
Darshan
impresses
Rachita?
Does
Rachita
really
love
Darshan?
What
happened
to
Ramya
Bharana?
Does
Darshan
and
Rachita
unite?
Answers
to
all
these
questions
form
part
of
the
climax.

Bulbul
Review
Bulbul
has
a
good
amount
of
mass
elements
and
family
sentiments.
It
is
a
beautiful
story
with
all
the
necessary
ingredients
of
a
commercial
film.
While
the
first
half
is
entertaining,
second
half
is
brilliant.
Bulbul
Review
Darshan
is
hunky
dory.
He
impresses
audience
in
lover-boy
role.
His
chemistry
with
newcomer
Rachita
Ram
works
well.
Ambareesh
fits
the
role
and
mouths
a
few
punch
dialogues.
He
surprises
with
his
dance
moves
in
the
song,
'Junior
senior...'.
Bulbul
Review
Rachita
has
tried
hard
to
make
an
impact
and
she
looks
promising.
Sharath
Lohitashwa,
who
replaced
Pradeep
Rawat,
is
in
his
usual
best.
He
has
perfectly
suited
the
role.
Sharan's
comedy
scenes
are
good,
Sadhu
Kokila,
Tennis
and
others
have
justified
their
roles.
Bulbul
Review
Technically,
V
Harikrishna
has
done
decent
job.
'Nille
nille
kaveri...'
sung
by
Hemanth
Kumar
and
'Jagadalliro...'
crooned
by
Sonu
Nigam
are
our
picks
from
the
album.
AV
Krishna
Kumar
has
done
neat
job
behind
the
camera.
Dialogues
by
lyricist
Kaviraj
has
to
be
praised,
Soundaraj's
editing
is
neat,
and
Ravi
Varma's
stunts
are
excellent.
Bulbul
Review
Verdict:
Bulbul
is
a
complete
family
entertainer
with
all
the
mass
elements.
It
is
treat
for
Darshan's
fans.
