Aptharakshaka - Vishnuvardhan kannada movie online

School Master - 2009 Kannada - Vishnuvardhan movie online

Time is a dressmaker specializing in alteration! This film ‘School Master’ release timing is just after 20 plus days of death of the magnificent actor of Kannada cinema Dr Vishnuvaradhan is haunting as unknowingly some of the scenes and dialogues are like bidding good bye to the world. For the dead child his callings ‘don’t call it as body’ and ‘this is my last coffee’ audience relates it to the real life of the actor. Even the lyrics in the songs are closely connected to the demise of Dr Vishnuvaradhan. ‘Badige Mane Baalu’ line in the song – life is on a rented house is so real too!

The packaging of ‘School Master’ is well measured for the both the mass and class. The thoughts of director Dinesh Baboo are unique as for as the education system is concerned and the introduction of ancient martial art ‘Kalari Payattu’ for the first time in Kannada cinema is a welcome break and is well utilized by the director.

Master Jagannath (Dr Vishnuvaradhan) is a school teacher who has mastery over many things that are high in human values. He is the darling of his students because he does not give home work and declare marks to draw a line of demarcation among the students. Master Jagannath is married to Sneha (Suhasini Mani Ratnam) who is working in a child care home. The couple has a girl child Megnana. The close relative of this family is the Home Minister (Avinash). The Home Minister’s daughter Adithi and Meghana are class mates. They travel in the same car to school. The dreaded terrorist Appu (Mukesh Rishi) who is in the captivity of police operate from his cell and that leads to a kidnap. By mistake the kidnappers take Meghana instead of Home Minister daughter Adithi. There is a huge disturbance in the family of Master Jagannath. The kidnappers ask for release of Appu in exchange of the child Meghana. The Home Minister’s efforts to release Appu to secure Meghana go in vain. The prestige of the political party becomes more important and as the deadline lapses kidnappers kills the child Megnana. It is a tensed up situation for Master Jagannath. He does not reveal the death of his child to his wife and take utmost care to cover up the death news of his daughter. Sneha is still under the impression her daughter is in the captivity but the audience and other characters in the film know the truth. Sneha goes sick and needs medical attention. Admitting his wife to the hospital Master Jagannath takes a drastic step with the help of his expertise in Kalari Payattu. In a series od sctions he kills six persons and the upright cop Prathap (Devaraj) who is watching all these developmentsstays away from the doings of the Master. Even after Master is jailed three years he does not reveal the death of his daughter to his wife.

Emotional King Dr Vishnuvaradhan touches every heart. The agile looks and controlled performance surely leaves every audience to say he should not have died so early in his life. The interaction Dr Vishnu maintains with the children is tremendous. His message in the end to the student’s fraternity not to take the step what he has followed is right advice.

Suhasini Mani Ratnam once again comes close to the heart. The immense love she express to her child the affection she showers to other children, the way in which she sits in the 3rd standard class room and takes the notes on behalf of her child are some touching scenes in the film.

Devaraj as a cop draws very good attention for his style and attitudes. Avinash is as usual at his best. Thara, Chitra Shenoy, CR Manohar are adequate to the roles.

V Sridhar has given two lovely songs. Chinnu Mari Muddu Mari……Yee Lokavella Guruvu….are rich in meaning. Director Dinesh Baboo has handled the cinematography gets full credit for very colourful shots.

Direction: S.Narayan
Production: Rockline Venkatesh

Producer Rockline Venkatesh and Director S.Narayan had promised that their new venture "Varsha" will be a treat to watch for the Vishnuvardhan fans.

They have kept up their promise and the well made film will certainly prove to be a worth watcher for Vishnu's fans and his large following of the female audience who want to see him in emotional roles.

Director S.Narayan who has taken the additional responsibility of writing the lyrics and dialogues of the film has recreated the magic he had done previously in the four films he has worked with the Kannada Super Star.

The Vishnu and S.Narayan combination has delivered great results in the box office. The saga started with the hit film "Veerappa Naayaka" which had a patriotic flavor as the main focus. The mantra was followed in two silver jubilee hits- "Suryavamsha" and "Simhaadhriya Simha". Another hit film of this combination is "Jameendhaarru" in which Vishnu had acted in dual role "Varsha" does not belie the expectations it had raised before its release and will prove to be a continuous saga of a fruitful combination.

Thankfully "Varsha" has all the commercial ingredients in right proportion. All the sequences in the film with ingredients like emotions, comedy, action are quite touching and entertaining.

"Varsha" is the remake of Malayalam Hit "Hitler" which had Mammootty and Shobhana in the lead. Later Telugu Super Star Chiranjeevi acted in the film's Telugu remake to revive his then flagging career. The movie has been remade in Hindi and Tamil without success mainly due to bad casting and pedestrian narration. "Varsha" is the fifth version of the same story, but still manages to work well because of good production values, technical expertise and a neat performance by all the artists. S.Narayan makes some changes from the original, but it fits well with the present day trend of narration.

"Varsha" is as much a Narayan film as it is a Vishnuvardhan film. The casting for this film is perfect. The sisters look fresh on the screen, but they have played their parts to perfection. All of them are trained tele artists, except Anu Prabhakar who is an established heroine in the Kannada film industry. S.Narayan has presented his hero quite differently in this film. The hero of the film is presented not as just a short tempered human being but as a possessive and protective brother of five sisters and other two sisters born out of the wedlock of his father and his second wife. .

The film is a healthy mix of comedy, sentiment and action sequences. While Vishnuvardhan proves his mettle in emotional and action sequences, the comedy portion has worked out well because of talented artists like Ramesh, Komal, and Tennis Krishna. .

Vishnuvardhan comes out best in portraying the emotions in the film. The action sequences in the film will certainly please his fans. Multilingual actress Maanya has proved her merit as a tomboyish girl who is in love with Vishnuvardhan.

Ramesh and Komal make a good combination and the film will be a big boost to their careers. All other artists including Sreenivaasa Murthy, Anu Prabhakar, Shwetha Chengappa, Ramesh Bhat and Doddanna have given their best.

Music Director S.A.Raj Kumar has done well in composing melodious songs and his re recoding job for the film is excellent. Cameraman P.K.H.Doss and editor Soundar Rajan have once again proved their mettle. "Vasanthi Vasanthi", "Ikku Maga" and "Kanneerige Kanneereke"
