TITLE - SUNDARANGA JAANA, Producer - Rockline Venkatesh and Allu Aravind, Direction - Ramesh Aravind, Music - Ajanith Lokanath, Cast - Ganesh, Shanvi, Devaraj, Rangayana Raghu, Ravishanker Gowda, Vasishta, Sihikahi Chandru and others.


The first half of this ‘Sundaranga Jaana’ is a Paisa Vasool. You would laugh at the ‘Mareguli’ Ganesh so much and in second half it is a bonus with a few turn of developments getting clarity for the characters. Rockline Venkatesh and Allu Aravind first production is a sure winner because of a great value in all departments of this film.

A remake of ‘Bale Bale Magadiyo’ of course gets the ‘Bhale Bhale’ applaud. The miniscule handling of things from Ramesh Aravind is superb. Firstly he is ‘Sundaranga and Jaana’. Of course Ganesh also fits in to this ‘Sundaranga’. His timing of comedy and dialogue delivery, looks, dance, costumes gets extra ounce of mileage. Shanvi Srivatsa, Devaraj steals the show for precise performance.


Lakki alias Lakshmiprasad has the rare setback in life ‘Mind Diversion Decease’. With such a drawback Lakki sails through and he is the man at right time for right place although he tends to forget his task with another one getting him laurels.

In the eyes of Nandana (Shanvi) Lakki is a having a grand feeling but not in the eyes of Panduranga Rao (Devaraj) father of Nandana. For Rao, this Lakki is useless, man with no time sense etc. On a few occasions Lakki meeting Rao to discuss on the marriage fails. On all these occasions Rao finds Lakki as careless and senseless. That is because his route diverts with another issue coming before him.

But in the case of a pregnant woman in the house of Rao, daughter in law of the house, Lakki turns out to be very lucky. He saves the pregnant (Jyothi Rai) from very bad situation. That in fact gets good placement for him in the heart of Rao. Yet Lakki is forced to use his friend Ali for some time. A few more funny situations when Ravishanker Gowda comes as Ali.


When Lakki finds his fortune to marry Nandana is going out of hands, he decides to leave the country. Fortunately for him he brings the bank pass book instead of pass port to the air travel.


Ganesh and Shanvi make a good pair. Both are very attractive on screen. Rangayana Raghu and Sadhu Kokila add extra strength to the comedy of Ganesh in the film. Devaraj as very strict person is a right choice. Ravishanker Gowda in a funny situation, Vasishta as cop, Sihikahi Chandru – all give good support to the roles.


The cinematography by Manohar Joshi is splendid the color scheming for various occasions stays in the mind. The music from Ajanish Lokanath not let you down in melody. The lyrics, costumes and locations for this film is what makes this film very competitive in the business of entertainment.


A good watch, who does not forget yaar! Ramesh, Rock, Ganesh combination should come up in future too.

Score – 4/5 ****
