<p>Doodhsagar <br /><br />Kannada (U/A) *<br /><br />Director: Samuel Tony <br /><br />Cast: Akash, Depika Das, Ramya Barna, Sumithra, Suchitra, Ashwath Neenasam<br /><br />Trust film-makers to take viewers for granted. Blinkered in their vision that anything offered will be lapped up, they leave audiences with no choice. <br /><br /></p>.<p>So, drawn by the delicious title, a handful took the bait and Doodhsagar ensured that they regretted their decision.<br /><br />An atrocious film, one wishes director Tony had put more thought into its making. The premise of two distraught lovers meeting at a critical point in their lives could have made for a cracker of a film. <br /><br />However, by trodding the beaten track, Tony reduces Doodhsagar into another tiresome tale. Akshay has run away from his village following a charge of rape and murder of his sweetheart Archana. <br /><br />Harini has her own reasons to hit the serpentine highway, alone and adventurous. Nearly mauled by bad elements, she latches onto a reticent and bemused Akshay like a leech. <br /><br />Whether the two drifting and disparate souls find meaning in each other’s company forms the thin thread of Doodhsagar’s insufferable tale. <br /><br />There’s nothing to write home about the film — adrift and sinking into the morass of its own making. Elucidating further would be giving away its element of mystery about Harini. It’s better to leave this curdled milk alone. </p>
