Maleyali Jotheyali – Review

After long time, Mungaru Male fame Ganesh has hit the screens with Preetham Gubbi's second director venture Maleyali Jotheyali. The movie, which is a triangular love story, has come out as a solace to desperate fans of Ganesh and even for other filmgoers.

Once again, Golden star Ganesh shines as the showman of the movie Maleyali Jotheyali. He attracts the audiences with his dialogue delivery. The other highlights of the movie are Preetham Gubbi's script, Mano Murthy's music, Krishna's camera work and Mahesh and Vinayakram's dialogues.

Although the movie Maleyali Jotheyali has a thin storyline, it has got lots of twists and turns to lure the audiences. Moreover, Preetham Gubbi's gripping narration creates curiosity among the audiences. There are three lead characters, the director has introduced rain as the fourth character.

Maleyali Jotheyali is a comeback movie for Mungaru Male (MM) team and there are enough number of scenes to remind the viewers of MM. The movie starts with a flashback story and the very first scene reminds the climax of MM. Many other elements like rain, Ganesh's dialogues and a rabbit (Devadas in MM). And even cinematographer Krishna has got shreds of MM in his camera work.

The story of the movie revolves around happy-go-lucky youth Preetham (Ganesh). His rich and superstitious father sends him to Sakleshpur, where he meets two girls named Anjali (Yuvika Chaudhary) and Shweta (Anjana Sukhani). He develops friendship with Anjali, while he falls in love with Shweta. He tries to get the help of Anjali to cement his relationship with latter. What happens next will form the climax of the movie.

Once again, Ganesh has come out with wonderful performance in the film. As usual his dialogue delivery and body language rock the audiences. Yuvika Chaudhary's performance stands by Ganesh. Anjana Sukhani, Sihi Kahi Chandru, Sihi Kahi Geetha, Dattanna, Rangayana Raghu, Sharan and Sudharani are also good at their respective roles.

Besides Ganesh, V Harikrishna's music is another highlight of the movie. His music rocks the audiences. Songs like 'Nee Sanihake Baralu..., and the title song 'Maleyali Jotheyali...' will haunt the minds of audiences. S Krishna has created the best visual effects for the movie. He has captured each frame like a painting. Even debutants Mahesh and Vinayakram's dialogues are good.
