There
were
a
lot
of
expectations
from
Birugaali
by
choreographer-turned-director
Harsha.
But
just
like
his
first
film
Gelaya,
Birugaali
also
turns
out
to
be
a
disappointment.
The
film
has
no
freshness
in
story
or
narration
and
tends
to
traverse
the
same
path
of
gangster
movies
which
feature
a
good
guy
trapped
in
the
underworld.
Chetan,
with
his
impressive
height
and
build
is
apt
for
the
lead
role,
but
the
film
seems
empty
and
there
are
no
intriguing
scenes
or
twists
to
grab
audience
interest.
Hachchi
(Chetan)
is
separated
from
his
parents
as
a
boy
when
his
father
is
killed
and
his
mother
(Tara)
is
unable
to
protect
him.
Luckily,
a
stranger
takes
Hachchi
under
his
wing
and
becomes
his
mentor.
Hachchi
grows
up
to
be
a
fine
young
man
who
spends
his
time
helping
others.
Not
satisfied
with
the
little
help
that
he
provides
to
the
unfortunate
people,
he
wants
to
do
more.
To
make
more
money
to
fulfill
his
dream,
he
moves
to
the
city
and
finds
a
job.
He
earns
pretty
well
but
he
does
not
know
that
he
is
working
for
an
underworld
Don.
Meanwhile,
his
mentor's
daughter
(Sithara
Vaidya)
is
in
love
with
him
but
Hachchi
falls
for
another
girl
(Charisma
Bharadwaj)
in
the
city.
It
is
quite
late
when
Hachchi
realizes
that
he
is
in
the
grip
of
the
underworld.
With
the
help
of
a
policeman,
he
returns
to
his
village,
only
to
find
that
the
people
there
have
become
unfriendly.
He
loses
both
the
girls
in
the
end
and
in
the
climax,
Hachchi's
mother
returns
to
reunite
with
him.
Chetan
has
managed
to
get
a
totally
different
look
from
his
first
film
Aa
Dinagalu.
He
excels
in
romantic
and
action
scenes
but
needs
a
little
improvement
when
it
comes
to
emotions.
Sithara
Vaidya
and
Charisma
Bharadwaj
could
have
staged
better
performances.
Music
by
Arjun
is
good
and
the
highlight
of
the
film
is
H.C.
Venu's
cinematography.
Birugali
is
merely
an
average
entertainer
with
a
bit
of
action,
romance
and
sentiments
thrown
in.
