Earlier,
director
KM
Chaitanya
has
done
the
movie
Aa
Dinagalu
on
the
theme
of
transformation.
Now,
he
is
back
with
another
movie
on
the
same
concept,
but
with
different
and
fresh
story.
The
movie
Suryakaanti
runs
through
many
twists
and
turns
and
Chaitanya
ends
it
successfully
with
justifying
all
the
characters.
Suryakaanti
is
a
commercial
movie
made
on
the
story
of
an
international
contract
killer.
The
highlights
of
the
movie
are
Chetan
Kumar's
energetic
performance,
Maestro
Ilayaraja's
music,
Aa
Dinagalu
fame
HC
Venu's
camera
work
and
Narayana
Swamy's
fresh
story.
Director
KM
Chaitanya
has
got
excellent
script
for
the
movie
Suryakaanti.
He
has
tight
grip
on
the
narration
and
his
apt
placement
of
songs,
fights
and
other
sequences
help
him
in
maintaining
the
tempo
and
creating
the
curiosity
among
the
audience.
When
compared
to
his
previous
movie
Aa
Dinagalu,
he
has
added
a
lot
of
commercial
elements
in
the
film
Suryakaanti.
The
film
Suryakaanti
begins
with
curiosity
about
a
murder
plot
and
the
director
has
tried
to
develope
love
between
Rohith
alias
Surya
and
Kaanti
besides
the
murder
plot.
When
the
audience
are
about
to
feel
that
the
movie
is
moving
in
some
other
direction,
the
director
ends
the
first
half
with
another
curiosity
by
unravelling
the
victim's
identity
of
murder
plot.
This
makes
the
audience
tighten
their
seat
belts
in
the
second
half,
which
becomes
very
serious.
Rohith
(Chetan
Kumar)
is
an
international
contract
killer,
who
sets
out
from
Uzbekistan
on
a
mission
to
kill
a
person
in
Bangalore.
His
mistaken
identity
forces
him
to
become
his
look
alike
Surya.
Ultimately,
he
becomes
the
CEO
of
the
Saheb
group
of
Industries
and
gets
engaged
to
owner
Appa
Saheb's
(Ramakrishna)
daughter
Kaanti
(Regina
Cassandra).
His
internal
turmoil
about
whether
to
pursue
his
duty
or
follow
his
heart
will
form
the
rest
of
the
story
and
it
should
be
watched
on-screen.
Chetan
Kumar
rocks
the
audiences
with
his
action-packed
performance.
Meanwhile,
he
also
steals
the
heart
of
girls
by
stripping
of
his
shirt
and
showing
off
his
macho-man
body
on
many
occasions.
Regina
Cassandra
has
played
a
decent
role
and
she
excels
in
it.
As
Kaanti's
grandfather,
Tamil
actor
Nasser
and
Enagi
Nataraj
as
his
assistant
win
the
heart
of
the
viewers
with
their
comedy.
Ramkrishna,
Kishori
Ballal,
Asif
and
Bollywood
actor
Ganesh
Yadav
are
also
best
in
their
respective
roles.
Besides
good
story
and
performance,
the
film
Suryakaanti
has
rich
technical
values
too.
Ilayaraja
has
composed
music
for
six
songs,
which
are
soothing.
Especially
songs
like
'Swalpa
Soundu
Jasti
Maadu...',
pathos
songs
'Edeya
Bagilu...'
and
'Mauni
Naanu...'
will
echo
in
the
minds
of
audience
even
after
they
are
out
of
theatre.
HC
Venu's
Cameraman
is
also
worth
commendable.
He
has
captured
the
beautiful
locations
of
Uzbekistan,
Uttaranchal,
Belgaum,
Goa
and
Karwar
in
couple
of
songs
and
other
sequences.
Ravivarma's
four
fight
sequences
are
also
wonderful.
Finally,
the
movie
is
not
out
of
loopholes.
The
director
should
have
dropped
a
few
unnecessary
characters
and
given
more
scope
to
Enagi
Nataraj
and
Appa
Saheb's
roles.
Secondly,
75%
of
the
movie
has
been
shot
in
Belgaum
but
it
lacks
nativity.
If
KM
Chaitanya
had
used
more
of
Belgaum
dialect,
he
would
have
created
more
comedy.
He
seems
to
have
failed
in
establishing
the
transformation
theme
and
background
music
is
nil
which
could
have
helped
him
making
the
movie
even
more
interest.
The
movie
does
not
have
dance
numbers.
In
a
nutshell,
the
movie
Suryakaanti
has
original
and
interesting
story
and
director
has
put
in
lot
of
effort
to
breathe
life
in
it.
It
can
be
watched
and
enjoyed
once.

miss
to
