Rajani Kantha Review - A good story lost due to bad narration
Reviews
oi-Prakash
By Prakash Upadhyaya
Vijay
has
grown
as
an
actor
over
the
years.
With
his
ability
to
do
action
sequences
without
using
body
double,
the
Duniya
star
has
created
a
niche
for
himself
in
the
Sandalwood.
In
the
recent
years,
his
movies
have
done
reasonably
well
at
the
Box
Office
and
his
last
flick
Bheema
Theeradalli,
which
was
later
rechristened
as
Chandappa,
won
him
lot
of
appreciation
for
his
brilliant
performance
despite
the
film
being
marred
by
controversies.
Now,
Duniya
Vijay
is
back
with
Rajani
Kantha.
The
movie
has
generated
a
good
hype
through
trailers
and
songs,
not
to
forget
his
recent
personal
life
issues.
Let
us
see
what
the
movie
has
to
offer.
Read
on
for
the
review...
Vijay,
for
the
first
time,
has
done
dual
roles
of
Rajani
and
Kantha.
While
the
former
is
born
with
cleft
lip
with
problems
of
speech,
the
latter,
the
younger
one,
is
a
normal
human,
who
is
also
known
as
a
trouble-maker.
Their
mother's
care
and
affection
towards
the
elder
son
due
to
his
disability
makes
Kantha
jealous.
When
they
grow
up,
Rajani
will
be
a
good
student,
who
is
serious
about
his
career,
and
Kantha
is
a
careless
boy.
They
also
fall
for
the
same
girl
Priya
(Aindrita
Ray),
a
sister
of
a
rowdy.
What
will
happen
next?
Will
the
siblings
fight
each
other
for
their
love?
Nope.
The
younger,
though
jealous
of
his
brother
for
getting
more
attention
from
his
mother,
displays
his
never-shown
love
for
his
brother
and
sacrifices
his
love
so
that
his
girlfriend
love
Rajani.

Rajani
Kantha
Review
In
the
following
story,
Rajani,
as
expected,
completes
his
degree
and
goes
to
Mysore
to
pursue
higher
education
and
Kantha
finds
a
job
with
Priya's
brother,
who
recruits
him
after
ditching
his
sister.
What
happens
to
his
love?
Will
Rajani
confess
his
love
to
Priya?
Will
the
sibling
rivalry
turn
serious?
Answers
to
all
these
questions
form
the
climax.
Rajani
Kantha
Review
The
first
half
is
not
strong
and
the
loose
screenplay
gives
a
first
blow
to
the
movie.
Though
the
film
appears
good
at
parts,
the
film
tries
to
keep
you
engaged
after
first
30
minutes.
Bullet
Prakash's
comic
acts
bring
relief
on
a
few
occasions
and
Vijay's
role
of
a
cleft-palate
victim
is
good
to
watch.
Rajani
Kantha
Review
The
second
half
goes
on
the
predictive
lines.
However,
the
film
has
a
good
story
and
has
been
a
wonderful
watch
had
the
director
given
a
good
shape
to
the
screenplay.
Nonetheless,
there
are
moments,
which
have
been
well
written.
In
the
second
half,
the
brothers' caring
for
each
other
scene
is
touchy.
Rajani
Kantha
Review
Duniya
Vijay
has
done
a
good
job.
The
actor
will
definitely
get
good
appreciation
for
the
role
of
a
cleft-palate
victim.
His
dialogue
delivery
has
to
be
praised.
Aindrita
Ray
has
done
her
usual
role
and
Bullet
Prakash
is
at
his
best.
Arjun
Janya's
two
songs
are
good
and
Giri's
cinematography
looks
okay.
Rajani
Kantha
Review
Verdict:
Rajani
Kantha
has
a
good
story
but
the
narration
is
bad.
