Recently went to Mungaarina maLe – Nataraj theater, in Central – (opp to Samrat hotel). Initially went more as a driver than a viewer as I was kind of neutral about watching. Based on trailers posters etc it seemed to be the sterotype and predictable kind of movie. Went more as a family driver – esp my uncle who was watching a movie in a theater for the first time after over two decades!
But when it started and continued… turned out to be really lovely… at the end all of us had really enjoyed it!
Its definitely a movie that as someone says – goes beyond boundaries – and is enjoyed even by people who don’t know Kannada considering its popularity during its screening in London (see Kannada article).
In retrospect, if not for my initial somewhat cynical mindset of trying to predict what would happen next in the story as I watched it in advance, but just taking things as they come, I’d probably have enjoyed it even more :-))
Ganesh’s acting is brilliant. I really liked the storyline, its somewhat refreshingly unique, beautiful and intelligent. Photography of course was spellbinding especially considering the locality.
This post is more a kind of place-holder, will update with some more views about it when time permits.

Do a quick Google search for Mano Murthy – whose most recent venture, VPN security technology developer Allegro Systems, was acquired by Cisco Systems late last month in a stock deal valued at $181 million – and you won’t find much on Mano Murthy the entrepreneur.
What you’ll find, instead, is plenty of information on Mano Murthy the film-score composer. Among fans of Indian cinema, Murthy is known for scoring the popular 1997 film America! America! which ran in Indian movie theaters for more than a year, and the 1999 film Nanna Preethiya Hudugi.

One of the most beautiful aspects of the movie was the theme of almost every scene having plenty of rain in it. Those who love rain would love this movie, and would definitely enjoy this post as well:
Suresh: Nature, like man, sometimes weeps from gladness…and it’s called Rain

Please follow this post if you’ve already watched the movie. Else recommend simply watching it unbiased… and then look at reviews or opinions.

Maybe Ganesh really understood true love by letting his woman free 😉
