Producer
E
Krishnappa's
first
Kannada
movie
Mungaru
Male
was
a
super-duper
hit
at
the
Box
Office.
His
second
venture
Moggina
Manasu
was
also
successful
at
the
Box
Office
besides
winning
five
National
awards.
Now,
his
third
movie
Matte
Mungaru
(Mathe
Mungaaru)
is
out
and
it
is
also
a
wonderful
movie
ever
made
in
the
history
of
Indian
Cinema
and
it
comes
as
an
Independence
Day
treat.
The
script
is
the
hero
of
the
movie
and
with
its
excellent
production
values,
the
movie
rocks
the
audience.
Although
Matte
Mungaru
is
postered
as
a
sensitive
love
story,
it
has
very
less
to
talk
about
the
lovers.
The
highlights
of
the
movie
are
Srinagar
Kitty's
performance,
Dwarki
Raghava's
script
and
dialogues,
X
Paul
Raj's
music,
excellent
cinematography.
Another
plus
point
of
the
film
is
that
it
holds
the
attention
of
viewers
without
having
any
commercial
ingredients.
Matte
Mungaru
is
based
on
the
real
life
love
story
of
Narayan
Mandagadde
of
Thirthahalli,
Shimoga
district.
The
story
goes
back
to
1983
when
Narayan
meets
with
a
boat
accident
in
Arabian
sea
and
reaches
the
Pakistan
sea
limits.
He
is
caught
by
the
Pakistan
army
and
kept
in
Black
hole
jail
in
Karachi
for
21
years.
The
kind
of
ill
treatments
he
undergoes
in
the
Pakistan
jail
will
form
the
story.
The
movie
also
refers
some
of
the
important
historical
events
like
Indira
Gandhi's
murder
in
1984,
Rajeeva
Gandhi's
assassination
in
1991,
Kargil
War
in
1999
and
release
of
the
prisoners
from
both
Indian
and
Pakistani
jails
after
Atal
Bihari
Vajpeyi
started
the
bus
service
between
Delhi-Lahore
in
2003.
The
movie
has
a
strong
storyline.
It
is
all
about
how
a
poor
fisherman
suffers
in
Pakistan
jail
for
21
years.
Although
the
movie
is
bit
dragging,
director
Dwarki
Raghava
has
managed
to
hold
the
interest
of
the
audience
with
his
tight
gripping
narration.
It
starts
with
the
love
scene
between
the
hero
and
the
heroine.
Narayan
alias
Naani
(Srinagar
Kitty)
is
a
fisherman
in
Mumbai.
He
is
in
love
with
a
neighbour
girl
Tara
(Rachana
Malhothra).
He
is
desperate
to
marry
her,
but
his
boat
is
struck
by
a
storm
in
middle
of
the
Arabian
sea
and
reaches
the
Pakistan
sea
limits.
Along
with
his
six
friends,
he
is
caught
by
the
Pakistan
army
and
kept
in
black
hole
prison
in
Karachi
for
21
years.
What
kind
of
ill
treatments
he
undergoes
in
the
Pakistan
jail,
how
he
comes
out
of
jail
and
whether
he
meets
his
lover
after
21
years
will
form
the
story
of
the
movie
and
it
would
be
interesting
to
watch
on
screens.
As
Naani,
Srinagar
Kitty
has
delivered
a
good
performance.
Especially
in
sentimental
sequences,
his
acting
touches
the
cord
of
viewers'
heart.
Although
Rachana
Malhothra
is
the
heroine
of
the
film,
she
has
very
less
scope
in
the
film.
She
appears
in
the
first
part
of
the
first
half
and
she
has
done
justice
to
her
role.
As
Iqbal,
Ninasam
Ashwath
has
done
a
wonderful
job.
Especially
in
one
particular
scene,
he
appears
naked,
which
is
really
heart
touching.
Ravi
Shankar,
Enagi
Nataraj
and
others'
performance
has
also
boosted
the
strength
of
the
movie.
Matte
Mungaru
has
excellent
technical
values.
The
background
score
and
songs
composed
by
X
Paul
Raj
are
one
of
the
highlights
of
the
film.
It
has
six
songs
and
two
tracks
i.e.
'Chita
Pata
Pata...'
and
'Helade
Kaarana...'
are
really
excellent.
The
camera
work
is
another
plus
point
of
the
film.
The
picturisation
of
the
boat
wrecking
sequence
in
the
sea
reminds
us
the
Hollywood
movie
like
Titanic.
Dwarki
Raghava
dialogues
are
also
good.
However,
characters
other
than
that
of
Kitty
and
Nataraj
are
not
justified
in
the
end
and
climax
should
have
been
made
even
more
effective.
It
is
understood
that
the
movie
revolves
around
Kitty
and
that's
why
the
director
has
concentrated
on
his
character
and
ignored
others.
But
this
does
not
stop
the
director
in
making
the
movie
interesting.
Hats
off
to
Raghav
for
his
works.
Overall,
Matte
Mungaru
can
be
described
as
art
film.
None
can
predict
the
success
of
the
film.
But
anyone
can
say
that
it
would
surely
get
a
couple
of
awards.
It
should
be
watched
by
everyone
to
know
how
Indian
fishermen
are
ill
treated
in
Pakistan
prison.
