<p>Kallara Santhe is D</p>.<p> Sumana Kittur’s second movie as a director. Her debut movie was Slum Bala where she narrated the life of a small-time rowdy. As for the first movie, she has chosen a script by her mentor Agni Sridhar for the second movie too. It is supposed to be a political satire. But it ends up as a jumble of unrealistic events. <br /><br />There are references to mining lobby, politicians who have relations with film actresses, caste politics played by men in power etc. Certain dialogues and incidents do tickle the viewers. <br /><br />The formula, if you call it so, is simple. Somu (Yash), who holds a PG degree in Kannada with a first rank, is a poor unsuccessful entrepreneur. His attempts to run a canteen fails because of an MLA. He takes the help of two police officers to teach a lesson to corrupt politicians.<br /><br />In real life powerful lobbies find tough to dislodge a CM or ruling party but in the movie unemployed Somu packs of an elected government! <br /><br />The hero, with all his ‘literary sensibility’ resorts to become a thief. He also gets the support of his girl friend Roopa (Haripriya). <br /><br />The absurdity touches its nadir when chief minister (Rangayana Raghu) holds an emergency cabinet meeting to fulfill the wishes of Somu, a thief, who threatens to commit suicide by jumping from a building if his demands are not met. <br /><br />The director or producer’s love for Kannada is oozing out all through the movie. An IT professional-cum-mother (Sudharani) says her daughter was cured of asthma once she learnt Kannada rhyme - Bannada Tagadina Tuttori...!<br /><br />Yash and Haripriya make a good pair on the screen. Rangayana Raghu does justice to the role. Manohar’s music is refreshing. If you think time is precious, then you can afford to skip the movie. <br /><br /></p>
