<p>Daksha<br />Kannada (U/A) ¬¬¬<br />Cast: Duniya Vijay, Neha Patil, Pankaj Narayan, Padmaja Rao, Suchendra Prasad, Bullet Prakash <br />Director: S Narayan<br /><br />If only Narayan had aimed for the Oscars rather than the Guinness! Seems the director made the single-take film just to set a record.<br /><br />Being ambitious and experimental, Narayan should have ensured a sharp script. After all, an inspirational adventure, shot in one take, warrants one. But the script is sloppy and full of patriotic spiel. <br /><br />It is obvious that the director was handicapped in having action hero Cobra Duniya Vijay at the helm. Narayan sought to infuse action into Daksha with Vijay playing an NSG commando — all brawn and bravado, spewing diatribe at terrorists. While one has no qualms about it, what fails the film are its trite twists. <br /><br />The entire tamasha takes place within the confines of a bungalow. It’s all claustrophobic and nauseous right from the time lover boy Arvind enters judge Venkatesh Murthy’s home to court his daughter, and terrorists lay siege to the palatial home. <br /><br />Watch Daksha for Duniya Vijay, his jingoistic Vande Mantaram cry and a one-shot solution to terrorism. <br />Jai Hind!<br /><br /></p>
