Nagathihalli
Chandrashekhar,
who
has
earlier
done
successful
movies
like
America
America
and
Amruthdhaare,
had
created
lots
of
expectations
among
the
audience
when
he
announced
the
movie
Nooru
Janmaku,
but
now
it
seems
all
in
vein.
Despite
having
stronger
storyline,
the
movie
seems
to
have
failed
to
reach
the
expectations
of
the
viewers.
The
movie
Nooru
Janmaku
is
a
love
story
and
the
director
has
blended
it
with
the
issue
of
global
recession.
Although
he
has
selected
a
good
script,
the
movie
clearly
shows
his
lack
of
preparation
or
home
work.
Nagathihalli,
who
staunchly
believes
in
simple
life
style
and
has
depicted
the
same
in
all
his
previous
movies,
seems
to
have
focused
more
on
creating
grandeur.
While
doing
so
he
has
missed
out
the
soul
of
the
film.
The
movie
has
several
unwanted/arbitrary
sequences,
which
contribute
nothing
but
unnecessarily
drag
the
film.
The
growth
of
Vinyas's
firm
and
its
downfall
is
shown
in
superficial
terms.
The
Star
cruise
of
Macau
and
the
fantastic
Hong
Kong
outdoors
in
a
song
sequence
in
the
second
half
clearly
shows
that
the
director"s
quest
to
achieve
commercial
success
has
superseded
his
sensibilities.
But
the
essence
of
the
film
comes
through
only
in
the
climax
—
poignant,
yet
beautiful.
Vinyas
(Santhosh)
is
an
architect.
After
he
is
thrown
out
of
a
private
firm,
he
starts
his
own
business.
He
hires
Drishti
(Aindrita
Ray)
as
his
assistant,
who
takes
his
business
to
new
heights.
He
confesses
his
love
to
Drishti
while
she
is
leaving
the
company
after
the
three-year
contract.
But
she
reveals
her
engagement
to
a
childhood
friend
and
leaves
the
company.
What
happens
next
will
form
the
climax
of
the
movie.
Santosh,
who
has
earlier
played
minor
roles
in
several
movies,
has
now
debuted
as
an
independent
hero
with
this
film
and
he
has
shown
that
he
is
fit
to
be
a
hero.
He
expresses
thoughts
through
his
facial
expression
in
several
sequences.
But
he
has
to
struggle
a
lot
to
prove
his
mettle.
Aindrita
Ray"s
performance
is
a
highlight
of
the
film
and
she
has
done
justice
to
her
role.
Adarsh
Balakishna
manages
to
impress
the
audience.
Though
Sharan,
Mandya
Ramesh,
Karibasavayya
and
Bank
Janardhan's
comedy
is
partially
good,
the
director
seems
to
have
wasted
these
talented
actors.
The
biggest
drawback
of
the
film
is
Mano
Murthy"s
music,
which
is
average.
At
least
he
could
have
made
the
film
a
good
watch
by
composing
more
impressive
music.
The
title
song
'Nooru
Janmaku…" which
is
the
retuning
of
a
song
from
'America
America"
is
the
best
of
all
the
songs.
Santosh
Rai
Pathaje"s
camerawork
is
fantastic.
However,
Nooru
Janmaku
is
a
worth
watching
movie.
But
Nagathihalli
could
have
bettered
the
film
by
doing
a
little
more
work
on
his
script.
