The change of name is the problem in the forthcoming reels. The local MLA and his henchmen for whom Tippu is working commit a murder. That is captured by Anu’s brother Vinay a television crime journalist. Ajay to the eyes of Anu is actually Tippu now decide to solve the crisis with his bosses who are part of the video shoot. When the truce meeting is arranged by Ajay alias Tippu in a fit of anger Vinay is murdered. It is further complication now for Tippu.
Anu accidentally knows that Ajay is Tippu. She decides to quit his company and cut off the relationship. Ajay alias Tippu wants to patch up the relationship. For this cop Dharma come to rescue. He wants Tippu to be approver for the murder case. Anu knows that Tippu is not the murderer of her brother. The culprits are punished in the court of law.
A film with poor technical standards and very average story director MS Ramesh has lost control from the first reel. He is known for punch and power in his films. With an actor like Adhitya he fails miserably in giving a convincing and gripping story and screenplay.
The narration style is far away from convincing style. The developments of scenes that lead to the climax are not well thought off. The songs appear at regular interval and even in the situation when it is not expected it appears.
‘Villain’ for the title of the film is the first major lapse. The definition of the ‘Villain’ buries down. The hero is not anti hero in this film. He begs in front of the public for his love. This particular scene is not heroic or part of ‘Villain’.
The usual screenplay of protagonist working for politicians and nexus with opponents the audiences have seen in scores of films so far. At least they are told in style and pep up the situation it could have been tolerable. The narration is like hearing ‘Katha Kalakshepa’ in the free time. The elderly people in the temples in the evening times sit for hours to hear ‘Harikathe and Puranas’. In such a way director MS Ramesh draggingly develops his screenplay and leaves very little interest.
One gets a doubt in the second half why these kind of poor standard Kannada cinemas are made. When it is looked at the ‘Television Satellite Rights’ strikes the mind.
Taking minimum risk and getting good share from the satellite rights this type of ‘Villain’ is attempted. MS Ramesh is a serious writer and director. He should not fall in to this kind of trap.
From the point of view of audience at Menaka theatre in KG Road Bengaluru it is a big punishment. The film is torture to the head and the seats are torture to body. It is high time this type of Menaka theatre is spruced up.
It is a continuation of Deadly Soma and Deadly-2 for Adhitya. The hero image is lacking for him completely. Only at places he gets chances to indulge in action scenes. They are very ordinary.
Ragini has nothing much to perform. She dances well in Garam Masala….and Kannalle Sambashane….In the close up Ragini looks plum.
It is a pretty good role for Dharma as a cop. He has showed exemplary style as a cop with doing good nature. Shobaraj and Rangayana Raghu are wasted. Pushpa Swamy as an old woman has given good support.
There is no good investment on the technical part of this film. Cinematography of Dasari Seenu gives an impression that we are seeing an old film in the fares and festival of villages on temporary curtains.
Gurukiran has slept while composing the tunes. One struggles to make out the lyrics. The song Gelathi Nannindha Dooravadhe Eke….is wrong placed because of the lyrics. When everything is explained in the scenes what is the point in writing such lyrics and enforcing on the audience in a sordid style?
It is a straight narration but to hold the attention of the audience the editing style should have been changed.
Last But not the Least – Hot summer and Hopeless movies – Any way out to save the audiences?
