‘Double Decker’ is the story of husband Paramesh (Jaggesh) caught between two wives – Parvathi (Shradda Arya) and Ganga (Siya Gautam). In his village Paramesh is forced on his mother insistence to marry Ganga and in city the story writer in films Paramesh is in love with Parvathi. This is a remake of Hindi film Govinda starring ‘Sandwich’!
Paramesh marrying two is referred as ‘Double Decker’ – that is the usual wit of all Jaggesh films. What is interesting is that Paramesh does not reveal to Parvathi and Ganga his secret. It is only when the two wives deliver male kids and they grow up the suspicion develops strong.
At the interval point another person looks like Paramesh appears for more confusion. The affluent Parvathi is my wife declares the intruder who looks like Paramesh. The police investigating it clears that the intruder is a fake. He is none other than Prahallad with the help of dermatologist and voice expert.
The purpose of Prahallad coming on the scene is to usurp the huge property of Parvathi. He is on a mission of his cruel father (played by Avinash) and his accountant Manishanker (Aravind). For the shady deals of tormentors even the police also join hand for a huge ransom.
It is time for actual Paramesh to bring it to the notice of his two wives the facts. Actual Paramesh pays from the same coin to the tormentors. It is at the climax fight the wrong doers are detected.
ANALYSIS: In Kannada similar stories have come with some more changes. ‘Gadbidi Ganda’ and ‘Naanu Nan Hendthiru’ are example of similar tracks.
In this ‘Double Decker’ Jaggesh and his team of artists manage the show in a convincing style of what Hindi actor Govinda had done in ‘Sandwich’.
This is not updated and it is a carbon copy. Director Vasu has not used the brain to prune the film and make it crisp.
The pattern of narration and songs coming in between are all expected and there are no surprising factors. The film ‘Double Decker’ of course has the rich production values and lavishly made. The locations are good and art direction has contributed well.
PERFORMANCE: Comedy hero Jaggesh has given his best. He has very good responsibility to carry out the film on his shoulders. Jaggesh does not disappoint his fans. The dialogue delivery, dance and his usual looks are good again. There are not much of double meaning dialogues. At one place the reference is made to Motamma (the prominent Congress I leader in the state).
The dubbing for both the first timers – Siya Gautham and Shradda Arya has worked out well. Siya Gautham has more emotions and looks bit fat on the screen. Shradda Arya in the close ups looks bad. She is a long shot heroine.
The twins - Ganapahi and Subramanya delivered good results and this is a first time the child actors have provided good support.
Once again Avinash and Shobaraj are fine. Satyabama over acts, Tennis Krishna, Chidanand and Sadhu Kokila have given good support in the comedy department.
TECHNICALITY: Purandar Jaipal in his debut has given three lovely tunes and the lyrics are also good in two songs. Kanase Kanase Nanna Saviganase…Thunta Thunta Hai Thunta are very good ones.
No complaints from veteran and talented PKH Doss. Every frame looks colorful and outdoor locations have come out well in Doss. He is the boss of cinematography.
LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST: ‘Two wives nothing but having two sharp knives in your pocket’!
