In the process of his attending to classes he falls in love with Sarala (Daisy Boppana) and this is mistook by his own son Abhay. In fact Abhay is loved by Chandini (Harshika Poonacha). Post interval is an issue that Basu joined the college with a fake marks card of SSLC. It is not the work of Basu but his secretary Harihara (Ninasam Ashwath). Basu is so innocent and knowing that he is facing the stage of debar from the college he decides to move out. He in fact loses the challenge but had done the major repair to the younger generation in the college campus for a better society.
It is a bad choice of selection of subject from well known director Kavitha Lankesh. There is no stuff in the subject. For the image of V Ravichandran and to the title of the film ‘Crazy Loka’ the lack of craziness is the major fault of this film.
The poor standards of technicality – the dark shots most of the times and no convincing screenplay and dialogues is not expected from director like Kavitha. She had given much more intelligent and touching subjects in her career. This is a major dip in her career. Look at Ravichandran for accepting this kind of subject. It is a major lapse from him. We have the classic example of Shahrukh Khan coming to college in ‘My Hoo Na’. For V Ravichandran the makeup should have been good. The camera angle for showing him on the screen should have used upgraded lenses.
Kavitha Lankesh being daughter of a teacher, journalist and well known director P Lankesh approaching for a fake certificate for a silly reason. Secondly with a fake marks card the film moves for more than two hours is baseless. A alternative to fake marks card should have been the thought of Kavitha Lankesh.
There are many uneducated persons in this society without even 10th standard qualification. They have got honorary doctorates. When that is the condition the challenge on the protagonist loses its relevance.
V Ravichandran the love master of Kannada cinema has not got the punching and powerful dialogues or worth remembering situations when he converses with the younger generation in the college campus. This is another big area the director should have drawn a good screenplay to get right attention.
The father in the college campus knowing that his son has crossed his limits he encourages it. This is a wrong signal to the youths again in the society.
Avinash as principal and Bharathi Vishnuvardhana as her mother is not convincing portion. It looks so weak and not lends anything new.
On the whole director Kavitha Lankesh has not used the right brilliance for a careful film to convince the audience.
This role is not fit for V Ravichandran. With tummy, hair style disturbing him often and of course the poor technical support adds up one more film in the career of the dream merchant of Kannada cinema. As Ravichandran often says the director should know how to make use of him the statement holds good to ‘Crazy Loka’. Director Kavitha Lankesh has not tapped the talent in V Ravichandran.
Daisy Boppana has an average role in this film. Avinash and Bharathi Vishnuvardhana are lively. Harshika and Soorya as young pair are tolerable.
AC Mahendran is a good cameraman and Manikanth Khadri is a tolerable music director. Then how come very poor results in both the department works on silver screen. It must be the UFO problem and poor sound recording system at Abhinay theatre where the media watched the first show on Friday morning.
Ele Elege Chiguro Thavaka…is the best song in the film ‘Crazy Loka’.
There is not deftness in editing. The grandeur seen in V Ravichandran films is totally missing.
Last but not the Least – Creative heads should not compromise in giving a convincing film.
