It
is
believed
that
if
a
man
dies
with
unfulfilled
wishes
or
meets
an
unnatural
death,
his
soul
remains
on
earth
for
two
reasons:
i.e
too
much
of
love
or
too
much
of
revenge.
His
soul
will
not
leave
the
earth
till
his
desires
are
completed.
Now
director
Shankar
B
has
done
his
latest
movie
Antharathma
on
the
existence
of
the
spirit.
Antharathma
is
a
Kannada
version
of
Oscar
winner
Hollywood
movie
The
Ghost
and
Mithun
Tejaswi,
Vishaka
Singh
and
Umashree
have
played
the
roles,
which
were
reprised
by
Patrick
Swayze,
Demi
Moore
and
Whoopi
Goldberg
in
the
original.
Even
though
it
is
a
remake,
with
his
lively
narration,
the
director
is
successful
in
making
it
interesting
from
beginning
to
end.
Shankar
B
has
chosen
a
good
storyline
for
the
movie
Antharathma.
The
story
is
all
about
a
soul
protecting
his
wife
from
a
man,
who
is
planning
to
rob
his
amount
Rs.
14
crores
deposited
in
his
bank
account.
Although
the
movie
has
a
serious
subject
of
supernatural,
the
director
has
also
included
a
few
comedy
sequences.
Shyam
(Mithun
Tejashwi)
and
Rohan
(Rohan
Gowda)
are
close
friends.
Once
an
amount
Rs.
14
crores
is
accidentally
transferred
to
Shyam's
bank
account
and
he
reveals
this
to
Rohan,
who
murders
him
in
order
to
rob
that
money.
But
Shyam"s
spirit
remains
on
the
earth
to
save
his
wife
Mahi
(Vishakha
Singh).
When
she
does
not
see
him,
the
spirit
takes
Chowdamma"s
(Umashri)
help.
How
she
helps
him
is
an
interesting
part
of
the
film,
which
should
be
watched
on
screen.
Mithun
Tejashwi
and
Vishakha
Singh
have
delivered
brilliant
performance.
Besides
them,
Umashri"s
acting
is
another
highlight
of
the
film.
Rangayana
Raghu"s
comedy
and
Rohan
Gowda"s
villainy
act
are
superb.
Bramhavar
and
Harish
Rai
are
also
good
in
their
respective
roles.
Giridhar
Dewan
has
composed
a
few
wonderful
songs,
but
they
do
not
suit
the
mood
of
the
film
and
placement
of
the
songs
is
not
apt.
Sundaranath
Suvarna"s
camera
work
is
pleasant.
Overall
director
Shankar
B
has
taken
a
deviation
from
the
regular
themes
of
Kannada
films.
Despite
being
a
remake,
his
movie
Antharathma
is
an
interesting
movie,
which
should
be
watched
at
least
once.
