It is heart touching and mind blowing from the first time director Hemanth Rao. We need this kind of path breaking films and subjects to make other languages to turn back at Kannada filmdom. Versatile actor Ananthnag should deserve a national award for this Alzheimer affected character. He is so natural and touches your heart. In the commotion filled time when Ananthnag saying ‘Uppittige Alugadde Channagide’ never stops you from laughing with pain. When he addresses on his hesitant lover (wife later as Pushpa) you would feel like clapping. It is not ‘Sadharana, it is Asaadharana’ GBSM.


The film is dragging and could come down by twenty minutes. The greatness of this film is debutant drawing his attention on emotion, crime and silent love. Hemanth Rao succeed throughout and comes to the list of highly talented directors list of 2016.


The classic part of this film is adjusting music. Charan Raj although bit loud at places, catches attention with melody and mood. Nandakishore is another buddy who is sure to conquer good place in the technicians list.


What is this GBSM. To the Doordarshan genesis time for announcement for the missing persons – you would find the identity for missing persons as ‘Godi Banna Sadarana Maikattu’ very regular.

Such a situation arises here for a very busy son to make when his Alzheimer affected father goes missing. In a busy schedule he takes his father to shopping and drops him at the entrance of old age home. From this gate Venkoba Rao goes missing. Dr Sahana in charge of Venkoba Rao is in serious search. Venkoba Rao son Shivu (Rakshit Shetty) also joins Sahana in searching his father.


Venkoba Rao goes in a truck where a murdered official is also kept. This is run by Vasishta and his accompany. This vehicle meets with an accident. A passing by car is asked for lift at knife point. It is hostage of car owner, Venkoba Rao and at home two more are kept in captivity as the truck is now in the hands of police where they find the murdered official.


The deal given to Vasishta goes topsy-turvy. In a remote home Venkoba Rao is staying with no developments known to him.


How the hostages are freed, what happens to the murderers, how Venkoba Rao reaches his son for safety, whether Sahana gets Shivu in her life…..you have to watch this film.


The Kapali theatre is a big drain for those who come with lot of hopes. The sound effects and clarity is not visible. It is better if you watch this well made GBSM in malls.


Hemanth Rao with key character Venkoba Rao has done a wonder. This film is eye opener for many. The humanity and values of life are well displayed.

Score – 4/5
