Mast Maja Maadi - Vijay Raghavendra, Diganth Hit Movie

Film: “Mast Maja Maadi”; Director: Anantha Raju; Cast: Sudeep, Jennifer, Vijaya Raghavendra, Diganth, Komal, Nag Kiran, Rangayaana Raghu and Umashree; Music: Balajee; Rating: ** “Mast Maja Maadi” is another remake that joins the long list of this year’s Kannada film releases. It is essentially a rehash of 2007 Hindi film “Dhamaal” made by director Indra Kumar.

Though “Dhamaal” was a senseless slapstick comedy, it was enjoyable because of its one liners and brilliant performances by the actors. Unfortunately in the Kannada version, the dialogues lack the much-needed punch and the narration is weakened by slipshod editing and pedestrian re-recording.

The film has many funny moments and the song picturised in Bangkok is really good. The sequences where the four protagonists, who were thick friends, quarrel with each other in their attempts to get the booty stand out.

Coming to the negative points, the performances of the artists in the film are uneven. Sudeep shows total disinterest in his role, while actors like Diganth and Nag Kiran don’t do a great job. Even seasoned artists like Sadhu Kokila, Rangayana Raghu fail to enliven the film.

The much-hyped special item song featuring Upendra and 12 heroines enthuses the audience in the beginning, but falls flat by the end because it is badly picturised.

“Mast Maja Maadi” is the story of four good-for-nothing, unemployed youngsters in search of treasure hidden in a place in Ooty’s Botanical Gardens. Apart from them, a cop is also eyeing the treasure. The youngsters’ attempts to get the treasure all to themselves and the hurdles they face in their mission form the crux of the story.

Vijaya Raghavendra and Komal have shown better comedy timing in the film and they act well. Surprisingly, a better performer like Sudeep looks too subdued and his disinterest in the movie becomes apparent in many sequences. Rangayana Raghu overacts and veteran comedy artists like Sadhu Kokila and Umashri have very little to do in the film.

The title song and the number “Chori Chori” are catchy, but music director Balaji should have been better in his re-recording work. M.R. Seenu’s camera work is ordinary.

“Mast Maja Maadi” has some enjoyable moments, but it could have been better handled better by the director.

Jaggesh New Movie - Eddelu Manjunatha - 2009

Review Eddelu Manjunatha is the comedy movie, in which Jaggesh is playing the lazy bone role opposite to Yagna who plays house wife role. The film with unique concept by ‘Mata’ Kannada film director Guruprasad ‘Eddelu Manjunatha’ audio cassettes and CD was released by film journalist friends of journalist tuned producer Sanath Kumar on a chilly drizzling Wednesday night at Press Club of Bangalore. Anoop Seelin has scored music for four regular songs and one bit in the film and all the songs are different from one another. Speaking on this occasion journalist turned producer Sanath Kumar said there has been lot of pressure and pain to shape up this film. The corporate support, director Guruprasad hell bent thinking, Anoop Seelin lovely scorings, two hours first class entertainment contents, Jaggesh turning out to be back bone for the film eased his tension and put him in the comfort zone. Gleeful on the audio releasing evening with lot of innovative ideas director Guruprasad said this film is produced in a long stretch of time from hard earned money and not from real estate business. Jaggesh in to elections in the last Assembly took so much of time in churning out this ‘Eddelu Manjunatha’ said Guruprasad. Yet with struggle and keen approach to a good film we have completed the shoot and it is hitting the screen in the last week of December he said. Anoop Seelin a big hater of Mumbai singers has invited only Kannada singer for this album. B.K.Sumithra the yesteryears singer is back again in the title song of the film and M.D.Pallavi the state award singer has rendered a top class western style song Prapachanve Devaru Madiro Baaru….. Jaggesh who is playing the lazy bone, freeloader role the 25th year film in his career of 100 plus films urged the media to support this film ‘Eddelu Manjunatha’ because social stigma is very beautifully attacked by the director Guruprasad. It is a real different film of his career said Jaggesh.
