<p>Nam Duniya Nam Style<br />Kannada (U) ¬¬¬<br />Director: Preetham Gubbi<br />Cast: Vinayak Joshi, Likhith Shetty, Krishna Nagappa, Milana Nagaraj, Rangayana Raghu, Sadhu Kokila<br /><br />Three friends. Different backgrounds and different aspirations. All united by a common goal: Unite the love of your friend’s life with him — in Malaysia, of all places! <br /><br />Preetham Gubbi gives a light-hearted entertainer that doesn’t take itself too seriously — a huge plus considering the mess other ‘simple’ stories turned into. With a generous tour of the South-East Asian country captured well by Venu’s camera and some very light and pleasant music by Shaan Rehman, Preetham lets everyone sit back with a bowl of popcorn or packet of roasted masala groundnuts and enjoy the show. <br /><br />With a gaggle of youngsters oozing energy, it is not hard to catch the enthusiasm after a while. Never mind Preetham leaves behind some loose ends or ties things up rather abruptly. The boys, barring Likhith, have fun while Milana is clearly the pick of the lot with a pleasant demeanour and talkative eyes to match. Kavya Shetty gets precious little to do till perhaps the climax with Soniya Gowda making no impression! <br /><br />The foreign actors, including fightmaster Ong, give a good account of themselves. Supporting the gang are Sadhu Kokila, whose background score provides zest and who is not made to make a fool of himself, and Rangayana Raghu, who is way more restrained and is pleasant to watch in this film. Padmaja Rao, in the brief minutes she has onscreen, is excellent. <br /><br />Preetham has also chosen his dialogue writer well, with Harsha Urs coming up with conversations that are very normal and not contrived. Deepu S Kumar’s scissors are sharp. <br /><br />Nam Duniya Nam Style is an almost well-made yet irreverent film — perfect for passing the time and getting entertained without digging deep.<br /></p>
