The

Anjaniputra,
an
official
remake
of
Vishal
starrer
Poojai,
has
hit
screens

Karnataka
amidst
much
fanfare
and
celebrations.
Powerstar
Puneeth
Rajkumar
who
is
riding
high
on
the
success
of
his
last
outing,
Rajakumaara,
is
eyeing
to
hit
the
bull's
eye
this
time
around
as
well.
Let's
see
what
Anjaniputra
has
to
offer
to
the
audience.

Story
The
movie
runs
on
two
parallel
threads
where
the
protagonist
of
the
movie
will
be
seen
tackling
two
different
problems
simultaneously.
If
one
problem
deals
with
a
certain
land
case
involving
the
antagonist
then
the
other
issue
will
be
a
face-off
between
the
protagonist
and
the
antagonist
with
a
different
reason.
Anjaniputra
has
a
pretty
formidable
subject
as
it
touches
a
certain
national
issues
and
thus,
making
the
content
of
the
movie
a
strong
one.

Half
Performances
It's
undoubtedly
Appu's
show
all
the
way.
This
man
oozes
tons
of
energy
in
almost
all
aspects
of
cinema.
Be
it
acting,
dance
or
fights,
he
is
all
around
the
screen
and
truly
is
an
asset
to
the
movie.
Rashmika
Mandanna
is
cute
and
has
delivered
what
is
expected
out
of
her.
The
romance
quotient
which
has
been
worked
out
between
Puneeth
and
Rashmika
is
good
making
it
a
pleasant
segment
in
the
first
half.
Sadhu
Kokila
and
Chikanna
offers
the
comical
relief
to
the
audience
where
the
latter
shines
bright.
Ramyakrishnan
and
Ravishankar
grab
the
attention
in
their
restricted
roles.
Technical
Aspects
Harsha
is
a
good
technician
who
knows
his
craft
well.
He
knows
the
art
of
scripting
a
commercial
venture
which
could
cater
to
both
family
and
mass
audiences.
Though
the
first
half
of
Anjaniputra
is
interesting
and
easily
passable,
the
second
half
of
the
movie
falls
flat
and
predictable.
The
action
episodes
are
quite
like
the
original
version
and
indeed
more
suited
to
the
Tamil
audience.
Cinematography
and
editing
are
adequate
while
songs
are
just
an
‘okay
fit'
in
the
movie.
But
it's
the
background
music
by
Ravi
Basrur
which
comes
in
as
one
of
the
highlights
of
the
flick.
Final
Verdict
A
decent
one
time
watch
for
the
family
audience
and
a
power
packed
feast
for
the
fans
of
Powerstar.
Considering
the
3-day-long
weekend,
you
could
pamper
yourself
with
Anjaniputra.
