When 'Kodagana Koli Nungitta' was announced, there were speculations that it must be inspired by some Malayalam comedy movie, as Jaggesh is very much fond of Malayalam these days and a couple of films like 'Manmatha', 'CID Esha' were Malayalam-inspired or remade versions of Malayalam flicks.But 'Kodagana Koli Nungitta' has nothing to do with any Malayalam cinema, but it’s an out and out and straight remake of Telugu super hit 'Malleshwari'.'Kodagana Koli Nungitta' just as ‘Malleshwari’ has no great story to boast off.It’s just a rip-off of many films which had the story of a princess meeting a commoner and love blossoming between them.'Kodagana Koli Nungitta' is a film which is loyal to such genre of films.

Bachelor Babu (Jaggesh) is obviously a bachelor, who has exceeded the age limit, but still is on a lookout for a nice girl.He happens to meet Lakshmi (Pooja Gandhi) incidentally and starts loving her.He slowly comes to know that Lakshmi is a princess in disguise of a commoner.Lakshmi has a wicked uncle Melukote (Rangayana Raghu) who is eyeing  her Rs.2000 crores' worth property.

He tries to kill her and Babu rescues her many times and gets close to her.Will Melukote succeed in his deed or will Babu finally marry Lakshmi is supposed to be the climax of the film.And you may very well guess it out (for it’s all very obvious) rather than go waste your precious time and money.'Malleshwari' was a good hit in Telugu, but all's not well here.Though the film is a remake of the original, director Vasu has changed some of the scenes.

But he has not been successful enough to give a good man for the hero.Jaggesh indeed engages the audience in the first half of the film through his talkative character, but the second half is quite serious and silly and Jaggesh fails to impress the audience with his antics.Moreover the second half of the film is too lengthy and many repetitive scenes make the film boring.Jaggesh is easy in his role and engages throughout the first half.His slangs like 'Kaage Haarisodu', 'Parapara Mulamula' and his antics like showing the forefingers which indicates to shut his mouth is quite a hit among the audiences.

But Jaggesh has stuffed in unwanted dialogues in each and every sequence and it all seems repetitive.Pooja Gandhi has nothing much to do.Sudarshan, Sadhu Kokila, Nagshekhar, Chitra Shenoy, Sharan and Bullet Prakash have done their bit.Rangayana Raghu tests your nerves.Sadhu Kokila is also repetitive.

He has straightaway lifted a song from the film 'Kashmir Ki Kali'.His other songs also seem to be heard somewhere.Dasari Seenu's camerawork has nothing new to boast off.Totally, the film is good in bits and pieces.Go, watch it only if you have loads and loads of patience and time.

Mr Painter -Rangayana Raghu, Charan Watch Kannada Movie Online

Dinesh Babu who was earlier known for many of his sensitive films has now turned film direction into some sort of a factory job. How can you explain a film like Mr. Painter to be directed by this maker who has given some wonderful films like Suprabhatha, Hendthige Helbedi, Amrutha Varshini and Abhi.

Mr. Painter is the latest film to join the list of Babu's films made under fifteen days, shot almost in the same locations and do not have any colour to it. For a director like Babu, getting big names into his films is not difficult and that is why you see artists like Yogeesh, Rangayana Raghu, Sharan, Ravishankar working in this film. But one thing is that these artists are not used properly and all of them except Sharan end up doing precious little to save the film. Yogeesh is in the film only for box office considerations and he comes only in the second half of the film being featured in one song, a fight and a few sequences.

Mr. Painter is a terribly disappointing film from Dinesh Babu who is capable of delivering very good films. Whatever may be his compulsions, but Babu should take care not to spoil his reputation by making these type of silly films which could have been appropriately titled as Mr. Torture. Perhaps some producers were inspired with the success of Mr. Garagasa which was made in a shoe stringbudget and have turned into fly by night operators. But these sort of quick films made without any rhyme and reason will certainly drive away the audience from Kannada films which is now picking up with the success of some recent releases.

The other negative factors of the film include that the film's narration drags from the beginning and the music is very dull. Surprising since Shankar delivered good music in the film Orata, I Love You.

The story of the film is not anything new. Dinesh Babu has written many stories about undivided families in many of his previous films like Akasha Gange and others. Two painters Rangayana Raghu and Sharan enter this house just before the marriage of a young girl in the house. The girl is in love with another person but is afraid to reveal this secret. The family is also facing some internal differences and financial problems as the elder in the family loses money in shares. The painters would try to find solutions to all these problems.

Despite getting a mass image, the film's hero (Or is it guest artist) Yogeesh is found wanting in the acting department. Nothing special could be written about Rangayana Raghu in this film, but Sharan is a treat when he speaks in the Uttara Kannada accent. Ravi Shankar is capable of performing better roles as an actor. The Veteran artists have filled the bill. The film's heroine Ramaneethu Chowdhary has been wasted in the film.

Mr.Painter is a film made with little passion but with a sense of urgency and desire to make a fast buck. Kannada film industry is now witnessing the rise of some young talented directors hose films look more attractive and committed. Dinesh Babu who is certainly not less on competence may have to learn lessons afresh.  - Review by NowRunnig.com
