JOIN USHare Rama Hare Krishna
An upright young man taking to crime and avenging all his wrongs has been a favourite story for film makers. And Hare Rama Hare Krishna almost falls into this category.
There’s nothing much to the film except Achyut Kumar. As broker ‘Pylwaan’ Prakash, Kumar makes the role his own with appropriate mannerisms, none out of place.
But credit to the director for squeezing the zing out of an already done-to-death story. His dialogues just tumble out of the actors, the actors themselves seem to be in zombie-land and narration is given a wide berth. Watching Srimurali’s weak impersation of Don Shivanna is painful. The former appears to be suffering inside, all the time.
Pooja Gandhi’s role cannot be called a lead even if she is paired opposite Srimurali. Wonder why she didn’t dub? Both PKH Das and Ilaiyaraja ‘amaze’ the audience with erratic and poorly selected angles and a rehash of mid-90s music.
The first half of the film is an example of how a film can wreck a producer’s expectations and dreams.
But the second half, trudging on expected track kicks up a frantic pace. But that is until the audience realises that it has been had. A smart move from the director, but in a lost cause.
