Another handsome looking, tall, well built ‘Hrithik Roshan’ of Kannada cinema is this Ishan. He suits the role perfectly. He has come here to stay long in the cinema industry. Poori Jagannadh has offered BADAM POORI and at places MASALA POORI with this robust hero with two lovely looking girls Mannar and Angela.

On the refreshing point Poori Jagannadh has taken right route of action masala. The length of the film 130 minutes is tolerable and so is the style of presentation of a commercial cinema in Tanvi Films. For a newcomer this is a bumper offer from Poori Jagannadh.

There was an old Rajesh Khanna Hindi film that was made as ‘Antima Tirpu’ in Kannada by rebel star Ambarish. The essence of that film is inculcated by this Rogue.

When a twenty men pounce on him when his fiancé is engaged to an encounter specialist obviously he goes on a rampage. In that rampage one receives severe blow and he is posted on wheel chair. He is from the police department. For such a pathetic stage of that cop Rogue turns a Good Samaritan. He works for the family and does a lot of good job despite of aversion on him. It is in this house is a singer Anjali (Mannar Chopra). As his earlier lover Anjali (Angela Krislinzk) has deceived him for a better proposition he hates girls.

The handsome hunk works as a collector for a Marwadi. He uses his muscle power in collecting the debts of Marawadi. When he is in need of Rs.10 lakhs at a precarious situation he does not get. At this point the psychic (Abhay Takur) decided to give Rs.10 lakhs on a condition that he wants to pierce a strong knife in to the stomach of Rogue. When the deadly deal is fixed, he receives the first blow. When psychic goes for second attempt the expected follows!

This is the youngster you would watch in the coming years. Ishan has struggled hard in this role. His dialogue delivery is also distinct. Action is his forte it seems.

Among Mannar and Angelina, it is Mannar who is quite OK. Both the heroines are liberal in romantic moods with the hero. Abhay Takur is deadly in his role. He has performed in a fierce style.

Thulasi Shivamani, Avinash and Sadhu Kokila are quite OK. There are three songs good in melody from Sunil Kashyap a debut music director. Mukesh in camera has given good visuals.

A feast for action lovers and thrills is this ‘Rogue’.
