<p>Lodde<br />Kannada (U/A) Cast: Komal Kumar, Akanksha Puri, Avinash, Shayaji Shinde<br />Director: S V Suresh<br /><br /></p>.<p>Lodde, which means left-handed, is a film dedicated to late actor Vishnuvardhan. An ode to all Southpaws, the film sadly does not do justice to the legendary star. Except for a song spotlighting on all famous left-handers of the world — the film’s only novelty — it turns out a routine outing. <br /><br />Drawing inspiration and seeking to cash in on the yesteryear actor’s lefthandedness is fine. But Lodde, directed by S V Suresh, fails to make sensible and engaging capital of it. Instead, a moth-eaten story is foisted, and the film fails even as a comic, action-packed fare. <br /><br />With Komal Kumar at helm, Lodde is full of spicy and tangy dialogues to provide the laughs. It revolves around foreign-returned grandson Narasimha, who, his grandfather expects, would help him settle scores with his bosom buddy, now turned rival. <br /><br />The mothers, on the two sides, try to plot a matrimonial solution to the age-old rivalry hoping that if Narasimha weds Akankasha, animosities would evaporate. <br /><br />But do they? How do the two love birds seek to end this distrust and enemity between Rudrappa and Sadashiva? <br /><br />What leads to bitterness between the two paternal heads forms the film’s second half. <br />Set in Thirthahalli amidst its slyvan setting, Lodde is strictly for Komal fans. <br /><br /><br /></p>
