If
at
all
you
have
to
describe
Indrajit
Lankesh
directed
Aishwarya
in
one
word,
your
immediate
reaction
could
well
be
'Simply
brilliant'
or
'visually
fantastic'.
That
description
will
sum
up
the
qualitative
aspects
of
the
film.
In
this
film
with
strong
visuals
and
captivating
musical
compositions,
it
is
Real
Star
Upendra
who
impresses
with
his
soft
and
spectacular
performance
in
a
perfect
ten
style.
Ravishing
Deepika
floors
you
with
her
looks.
By
a
fantastic
packaging
of
all
commercial
elements,
director
Indrajith
Lankesh
comes
out
with
a
winner.
Producers
N.
Kumar
and
Dr.
Ramanjaneyulu
have
to
be
complimented
for
making
a
big
budget
film
with
stylish
visuals
and
peppy
songs
in
these
times
when
the
Kannada
film
industry
is
facing
a
big
crisis
of
confidence.
Aishwarya
is
presented
with
very
appealing
visuals
and
catchy
songs.
You
will
see
around
well
dressed,
beautiful
fun
loving
people
in
palatial
surroundings,
colourful
backgrounds.
An
impressive
presentation
of
the
sequences
takes
you
to
the
world
of
rich
and
famous.
This
is
the
strongest
point
which
takes
the
film
to
the
winning
post.
And
the
difference
in
presentation
is
palpable
what
with
Upendra
is
presented
in
a
different
hair
style
(his
earlier
hair
style
had
itself
become
a
trade
mark)
.with
extremely
good
costumes,
while
Deepika
will
floor
you
with
her
looks,
dress
sense
and
screen
presence.
Three
songs
shot
on
Deepika
(The
title
song,
Manmatha
and
Hudugi
Hudugi)
are
visually
spectacular
and
the
viewers
will
certainly
feel
the
difference.
Since
the
story
itself
is
very
thin,
there
is
lesser
number
of
elements
in
the
first
half
which
makes
the
proceedings
interesting.
Therefore
the
take
off
of
the
film
is
only
in
the
second
half
and
it
is
here
that
Indrajit
Lankesh
has
packed
with
some
strong
points
like
comedy
featuring
Sadhu
Kokila,
Komal
and
a
bit
of
emotional
touch.
All
the
three
well
choreographed
songs
featuring
Upendra
and
Deepika
are
in
the
second
half.
You
may
well
argue
that
Lankesh
had
taken
a
risk
by
changing
the
hair
style
of
Upendra
as
his
earlier
hair
style
had
itself
become
a
trade
mark.
But
Indrajit
has
taken
a
worthy
risk
as
Upendra
really
looks
fantastic
with
extremely
good
costumes.
His
performance
is
also
very
good.
Krishna
Kumar's
lighting
patterns
and
shot
compositions
are
quite
catching
and
Rajesh
Ramanath
has
really
worked
hard
in
creating
some
good
tunes
for
the
film.
Vinod
Manohar's
sharp
editing
has
also
helped
the
film.
Aishwarya
is
a
brilliant
commercial
film.
