In the debut direction this short man Madan has not given any short falls. He is so good in the first half and travels with good music, good performance from lead actors, nice cinematography and good locations. For the yesteryears title of Dr Rajakumar ‘Eradu Kanasu’ this 2017 Eradu Kanasu has not done any injustice. The dream of the protagonist if well narrated in the screenplay.

The new ‘Dhandhe’ even from the physical impaired using their innocence is a good shocker in the screenplay. Over all it is a first class ‘ERadu Kanasu’ from Madan and team.

Muthu (Vijaya Raghavendra) is running a home for aged, physically handicap called ‘Kasthuri Nivasa’. The young physically handicap children in this instate are taught good qualities and they want to contribute for their living. It is in this process the drug mafia takes the situation under control. From the hands of innocent handicap people the Halkadi Hadi (Petrol Prasanna) and team supply drugs in the carriers.

When things go wrong and one of the ‘Kasthuri Nivasa’ goes missing the investigation of Muthu unravel the drug mafia. Before he books the culprits he loses one of the handicaps. For this investigation a journalist from B N TV – Shruthi (Krishi Tapanda) supports Muthu. In this process she also falls in love with Muthu. He is much against to love. For that you have to go for a flashback.

In the past Muthu faces a dastardly accident of his family and his in laws. He reaches a situation to cremate 14 bodies of his two families. He does not return to this village for twenty years. On the year he returns such a ghastly accident snatches all his closets.

It is not precise to explain the whole script of the film because you have something in store to watch that is further interesting.

Vijaya Raghavendra has given controlled performance, his action and dance is superb. Chinnari Muththa is back with a bang in this film. The ideals he carries in this film are admirable.

Krishi Tapanda has given a emotional role as a journalist. Karunya Ram looks sweet but does not have much to do. She comes in the flashback.

Dialogues are well written, costume is precise, the Kasthuri Nivasa inmates touch your heart. Two are lovely songs from Steve Kaushik, Cameraman Darshan Kanaka has done splendid work in cinematography.

This is a family watch; contents are good narration is very good. Well done Madan and team in the first attempt.

3/5 ***
