Aithalakadi – Movie Review

Producer-cum-director JG Krishna"s film Aithalakadi, which had created lot of curiosity among the audience over the appearance of host of Sandalwood's" biggies like Ravichandran, Darshan, Jaggesh, Sudeep, Vijay and Vijayaraghavendra in it, has finally hit the screens on last Friday. The director has successfully managed to impress the audience with his fast-paced narration in it.

Aithalakadi is a slapstick comedy movie. The main highlight of the film is Bullet Prakash and Rangayana Raghu"s comedy. Although it is a comic flick, it has all the necessary commercial elements like good music, fight sequences sentimental drama. The only weakness of the film is that the director has used 108 characters in the film and it seems to be a little confusing in a few sequences.

Director JG Krishna has chosen a very good script for the film Aithalakadi. It has a fast paced narration and Krishna has got complete grip over it. Even though it has too many characters, he manages to run the tempo without letting the audience feel any confusion. The film deals with what is happening in the film industry. It is about a film director, who undergoes travails and traumas in life, but with his confidence, he reaches his goal in the final.

Raghu (Rangayana Raghu) is a film director with a few good scripts in his hands, but he struggles a lot to survive in the film industry. Despite not having basic amenities like food and shelter, he continues his attempt. Meanwhile, he meets Prakash (Bullet Prakash), who becomes his close friend. How he helps him to reach his goal will form the rest of the story.

Rangayana Raghu and Bullet Prakash have given a wonderful performance and they rock the audience with their humourous and witty performance. Omprakash Rao, Sadhu Kokila, Dingri Nagaraj, Beeradara have supported them in trickling the funny bones of the audience. As Sevanthi, actress Neetu also wins over the heart of viewers. She has done justice to her role.

Sadhu Kokila"s music is the second plus point of the film. He has scored five songs out of which two are very melodious. However, Aithalakadi has not only a comedy, but it has also got sentiments, drama and action to appeal the mass as well as class audience. It is a must watch film.
