<p>Mayabazar2016<br />Cast: Achyuth Kumar, Raj B Shetty, Vasishta N Simha, Prakash Raj, Sudharani and Chaitra Rao<br />Director: Radhakrishna Reddy<br />Language: Kannada (U/A)<br />Rating: 3.5/5</p>.<p>Mayabazar 2016 by debutant Radhakrishna Reddy, is an excellent comedy of desperation. Helmed by a stellar cast, the directors weaves in genres like comedy, thriller and drama very well. </p>.<p>An upright police officer (played by Achyuth), a hopeless lover (Vasishta Simha) and a smart thief (Raj B Shetty) decide to make money by scamming people during the time of demonetisation.</p>.<p>The circumstances that push them to make quick money might appear jaded, perhaps the only drawback of the film. That apart, Mayabazar moves at a brisk pace with clever twists.</p>.<p>The film thankfully avoids a head-on approach to offer a message. Even as it makes you think on the perils of greed and the challenges of being honest in its corrupt world, it doesn’t forget to entertain and engage.</p>.<p>The performances are great and it’s encouraging to see big names come together for a small yet meaningful film. The rookie, Chaitra Rao, deserves a mention for her effortless acting. </p>.<p>The uproarious dialogues notwithstanding, Mayabazar is a perfect example of writing realistic dramas. The sustained simplicity is delightful. In the end, you look at the characters with affection and are left with a pleasant after-taste. </p>.<p>Surprisingly, the controversial Huccha Venkat gets some screen space here. Actor Puneeth Rajkumar, also the producer, also makes an appearance to shake a leg in the credit rolls. ‘Mayabazar 2016’ is definitely a family entertainer.</p>
