Hat-trick
hero
Shivaraj
Kumar's
much-anticipated
movie
100th
movie
Jogayya
(Jogaiah),
which
is
a
sequel
to
Jogi,
has
finally
hit
the
screens.
Blockbuster
movie
Jogi
was
simply
an
entertainer,
but
its
sequel
is
a
family
drama
with
a
beautiful
message
for
all
Kannadigas.
Director
Prem
is
once
again
successful
in
creating
rich
production
values.
Shivanna's
wonderful
performance
is
major
highlight
of
the
movie
Jogayya.
Though
it
is
a
family
drama,
Prem
has
nicely
blended
all
commercial
elements.
V
Harikrishna's
fantastic
music,
stunning
stunts,
wonderful
costumes,
superb
art
and
graphic
works,
good
comedy
and
dance
sequences
and
beautiful
locations
are
its
other
attractions.
But
the
movie
lacks
punch
in
dialogues,
which
may
disappoint
pranksters.
Jogayya
begins
with
Sharath
Lohithashwa's
prologue
about
the
origin
of
underworld
and
ends
by
creating
an
awareness
in
youth
about
the
voting.
Although
Jogi's
mother
is
dead
in
the
movie
Jogi,
Prem
has
managed
to
include
mother
sentiment
in
Jogayya.
Shivanna
sees
mother's
love
in
everyone's
mother's
eyes
and
feels
it.
Moreover,
the
mother
sentiment
haunts
the
audience
every
now
and
then
throughout
the
film.
The
film
criticises
the
existing
political
situation
of
Karnataka.
It
throws
light
on
Yeddiyurappa's
drama
of
acquiring
farmer's
land
in
the
name
of
global
investment,
the
dark
future
of
rowdyism,
Kumaraswamy's
alleged
way
of
wooing
the
voters.
It
also
takes
heavily
on
the
money
minded
nature
of
media.
Director
Prem
has
chosen
a
nice
screenplay
and
he
has
got
a
tight
grip
on
the
tempo.
His
interesting
narration
makes
the
audience
watch
the
happenings
silently.
Usually,
Shivanna's
movies
will
have
loud
cheers
throughout
the
screening.
But
here
viewers
can
hear
it
only
once
at
the
beginning.
There
are
no
cheers
in
the
middle
and
the
climax
of
the
movie
makes
the
audience
forget
their
whistling
and
shouting
and
keep
brooding
over
the
political
situation
in
Karnataka
and
their
folly.
The
movie
starts
where
Jogi
ended
and
hero
Jogi
a.k.a
Madesha
has
become
Jogayya
(Shivaraj
Kumar)
here.
He
has
left
rowdyism
and
has
been
staying
at
a
place
in
North
Karnataka
for
three
years.
He
is
looking
after
cattle
at
a
rich
man's
house.
His
master's
daughter
(Sumit
Kaur
Atwal)
secretly
develops
love
for
him
and
it
is
she
who
gets
him
released
from
Jail.
What
happens
next
when
he
comes
out
of
prison
will
form
an
interesting
part
of
the
movie
and
it
should
be
watched
onscreen.
After
the
movie
Jogi,
Shivaraj
Kumar
once
again
sets
out
as
the
showman
in
Jogayya.
He
fights,
dances,
makes
the
audience
cry
and
laugh
and
does
everything
to
impress
them.
Finally,
he
becomes
successful
in
his
attempt.
Sumit
Kaur
Atwal
has
less
scope
in
the
movie,
but
she
has
used
it
to
prove
her
mettle.
As
lawyer,
Pooja
Gandhi
has
also
done
a
good
job.
Other
aritstes
have
also
delivered
wonderful
performance.
Jogayya
has
sound
technical
elements
and
the
production
of
the
songs
is
the
major
highlight
of
the
movie.
The
songs
themselves
are
worth
of
your
money.
V
Harishkrishna
has
composed
beautiful
music
for
all
the
songs,
which
are
catchy,
trendy
and
good
to
listen.
The
picturisation,
lyrics,
costumes,
art
direction,
graphic
work,
locations
and
lighting
are
simply
superb.
Editing
and
other
technical
stuffs
are
also
commendable.
The
movie
has
been
made
wonderfully,
but
it
does
not
mean
that
there
are
no
drawbacks
in
it.
The
movie
has
several
lapses
and
inconsistencies,
which
go
unnoticed
due
to
the
interesting
narration
of
the
story.
Overall,
it
is
a
perfect
entertainer
movie,
which
should
not
be
missed
out
this
weekend.
Watch
it
in
theatres.
