Once again banking on age old theme this film 'Bandhu Balaga' is targeted at family audience. The concept is very old and the making deserved to be better. The performances are very good the songs are placed at right time that has lot of meaning in it. The cinematography is not up to the mark and length of the film could have been pruned. Story writer Janardhana Maharshi has rehashed the Kannada film 'Odahuttidavaru' and cleverly got the nod of producers. When you look at the film at the outset a lot of changes could have been brought in to the film.

Subramanya (Shivarajakumar) the soft spoken darling of village people has a fond sister Annapurneshwari (Tejaswini). He wants the attendance of his brothers, sister in laws who are living in three different countries for the marriage of Annapurneshwari. The brothers in turn want a signature of Subramanya so that Rs.600 crore huge properties come to their custody. Subramanya born to the second wife of affluent Srinivasamurthy believes in good relations rather than money. To get the intimacy and courtesy he is forced to apply some breaks for his signature. The Indian made foreign brothers in the village torture Subramanya but the good deeds win. They all transform in better ways but the second wife of Srinivasamurthy – step mother of Subramanya and mother of three changed brothers take a drastic step.

Shivarajakumar hairstyle is not supporting his face. He has very few emotional scenes and in one place he stands without moving delivers dialogue looks shabby. The punching dialogues normally reserved for hero goes to actor Doddanna. Shashikumar, Dharma, Sumesh, Hema Chaudhary are good in their roles. Poonam Kaur in her first Kannada cinema is promising.

Hamsalekha has written two lovely songs and scored it melodiously. Ramesh Babu Cinematography should have been better. Director Naganna has to change his outlook in directing this kind of movie.

Direction: Chandra
Music: Arjun

He is a ruffian. Robust in build! Ugly in looks! Terror to trouble shooters! He can put down tormentors who come from any direction. He can rise above the ground and use his two legs to hit at the prominent nerve at the neck. That is 'Yuga'. The orphan child grows in slum and streets make it a point to earn money. Money is everything for him. Morality is next to him. Because he has been treated shabbily in life.

Yuga (Vijay) with his group takes revenge on the prominent underworld don Pai in Mangalore. He did not expect the danger would be so strong for him. The police in an encounter to this killing by Yuga shoot him in the stomach. He escapes from there and in an isolated house he gets treatment. He is advised to stay there for ten days as the hunt to put him down is going on everywhere. Yuga does according to his master.

In his 10 days stay in the rural doctor house he knows what affection is and how important it is to life. He meets Harini (Kavya) who is suffering from severe bronchitis in this village. The bail application is ready for Yuga and he is forced to leave the village and surrender. Back after bail Yuga has real problems shooting up. The Pai gang from Mangalore hatches a plot. Around this time his mentor needs his help to win the election.

What happens to Yuga in the stiff opposition from Pai gang? You want to know it. Go and watch this action feast.

In his debut director Chandra has worked on the scenes not on the story. His screenplay is tight and appealing to the front benchers.

Dhuniya Vijay action scenes are splendid. His front and back somersaults and strength in action is the redeeming feature of this film. He has to improve in dialogue deliver and make an attempt to look decent. Kavya has no big deal in her debut. Sudha Belawadi's controlled emotion is as usual best.

The second notable aspect of this film is cinematography by Veenus Murthy. The angles he has chosen the action scenes he has captured deserves him applaud. Two songs are OK in 'Yuga'.

A film for action lovers 'Yuga' showcases actor Vijay's capacity in electrifying stunts.
