Legitimising stalking, in the guise of comedy, Director Chethan Kumar gives one goosebumps. <br /><br />Teasing, taunting, short of torturing their heroine, Chethan with Dhruva, hits the depths of depravity. If this is entertainment, God forbid. <br /><br />That wanton violence, giving scope to Dhruva’s moniker — Action Prince, was not meat enough, Chethan & co, cross the moral Rubicon, depicting stalking as cool in courtship. <br /><br />While one appreciates films are flight of imagination providing entertainment to masses, surely, this is no means to make moolah.<br /><br /> Bahaddur, which takes one on a tour of various cities of State — Madikeri, Mysore, Mandya, Bangalore et al, besides Malaysia and Dubai, is about Ashoka, who swears that love is true path to matrimonial bliss. <br /><br />The other spectrum, you have Anjali, pledging to dad dearest that the boy he arranges she would wed. <br /><br />How a besotted Ashoka, agonisingly stalks a distraught Anjali, as you squeamishly watch, till she veers around to the idea love could happen, forms the putrid plotline of Bahaddur.<br /><br /> Another track has Appaji Gowda seeking Ashoka’s head for bashing his brother to coma, and Anjali’s father fixing her marriage, for that climax. Bahaddur doesn’t merit another word on it. </p>
