Although it is inspired from Tamil film ‘Raman Thediya Seethe’ it is about the perfect match for the protagonist. It takes curious turns after Ganesha (Akshay) is rejected by Ranjitha (Nikitha Tukral). Ganesha is very modest and he wants everything in right perspective.
Ganesha is dejected because on the marriage day the bride Vidya (Sowmya Sankalp) run away. For overcoming his dejected mind Ganesh accidentally meets Shekar Nag (Nagashekar) a blind RJ and he incorporates some changes in his life after hearing the flash back.
Now Ganesh marriage responsibility is taken by Vidya father (played by Ramesh Bhat). He is taken to Hiriyur for a match. In this place Ganesha finds the girl who he wants to marry is liked by an auto driver. He gives up his choice and shocked to find Vidya in a pitiable condition. Ganesha helps Vidya who is pregnant now and brings her to the hospital where Ranjitha is working as a staff. It is the duty of Ganesh to convince Vidya father who had come with him for a match that is Nandini (Roopika).
For immense good nature of Ganesh this time a police inspector Jayanthi (Manasi) is another girl. This time Ranjitha realizes the fault she has made and approves Ganesha as her partner in life.
ANALYSIS –
Manju Maskal Matti has done a neat job for this film ‘Gowri Puthra’. His narration style is so good that it reminds us of the 80’s and 90’s era. The social films of versatile actor Ananthnag, Vishnuvardhana and Shashikumar reminds us. Even to some extent this missing things are found in some of the good quality films of Shivarajakumar.
The girls missing for protagonist to match is interesting. The twists and turns are interesting. In the technical wise and dialogue dubbing this director has not taken care.
Especially the dubbing of Nikitha is so peach. Even the dubbing done to Roopika case deserved to be better. Actor Akshay should have watched a few of the Ananthnag films. The smile in him is missing. The smiling roles of Ananthnag should have definitely come to his support.
The required racy pace is missing. Although it is a guess work for the audience it is something long drawn out. Director Manju Maskal Matti instead of narration across the table and then going for flashback should have gone for a voice over in the beginning and left the cinema to tell everything.
The pre climax scene where Ganesha comes to see Inspector Jayanthi on the spot of her work and becoming a target of her Lathi – the fight there after was not necessary.
In the ‘Gundu’ table narration consumes some time and it is a jaded style. In the selection of characters, music and locations there is some good work from the director.
The film talks about the fate and truthfulness. Fate or destiny is not in any one hand. Truthfulness in life is in one’s hand. For the protagonist the ‘Truth Star’ image given in the title card is fit.
The character of Ganesh losing everything goes on gaining sympathy for him.
PERFORMANCES -
Akshay underplaying the character has lived up to the expectations. He should have taken some tips from previous Kannada films. Compared to his ‘Ganga Cauvery’ debut film this one is better.
Nikitha Tukral in an emotional role is quite OK, Roopika and Sowmya Sankalp are impressive. Ramesh Bhat renders good support. Rakesh as newcomer is OK. Manasi does not fit the cop role. The pair of Nagashekhar and Nivedhitha is surprise for the audience. Both have done well. The portion of Nag and Nivedhita gathers good attention.
TECHNICALITY –
Cameraman PL Ravi has done his job neatly but a few shots in the outdoor are not up to the mark. Milind Dharmasena after ‘Yogaraja…Bhat’ has given two melodious tunes.
The song for Nagashekhar and Nivedhitha – Yarige Yaro Serisuva Premave…and a song on Nikitha Tukral and Akshay Modha Modhalu Nanna Edeyolage…are good in melody. Devadasa nanna chaplili Hodi…is a timely song for actor Rakesh.
Editing done for this film is not bad. The background score has some routine beatings.
Last but not the Least – Marriages are made in heaven – people come down to earth for match!
