‘Shiva 143’ review of Kannada film: Dhiren Ramkumar’s love vs lust drama flat

Indian cinema has exited its comfort zone, but when it comes to the launch of Star Kids, the actor does not want to take risks with his children’s career and prefer a safe and proven story; In this case, a remake.

In this way, we meet Dhiren Ramkumar, the latest descendant of Dr. Rajkumar’s family, who makes his debut with Shiva 143, Directed by Anil Kumar. This is the official remake of the Telugu blockbuster of the romantic action-thriller 2018 rx 100, In which Kartikeya Gummakonda was in the lead role.

If the director had taken enough care in the script of the film with some sensible statement, he could have saved it. Shiva 143 From becoming a typical love story of an angry young man. Making a remake of a hit film is definitely a difficult task, but it could have made this film widely watched by a little hard work, understanding the original material and drawing a clear line between love and lust.

Established in a small village in Karnataka, the story revolves around the life of Shiva (Dhiran), a rustic, fierce and angry young man who loses his parents in an accident and by the village leader He is nurtured. It is his natural character to be unstable and unstable.

Anil Kumar chooses a flashback technique to present the soft side of the story of Shiva, who comes for Madhu (Manvita Kamath), a girl in the city and the daughter of the rich politician (panchayat member) and the daughter of village head Avinash Is. While Madhu is more attracted to Shiva’s curvy body and takes advantage of it, the young man sees a divine love in Madhu (like a regular hero, he gets her name tattooed on his chest). Will their romance end happily ever after?

Despite the need to introduce Dhiren as a masculine character, this simple, straight story could be conveyed in a crisp and fast way. Anil Kumar should have understood that instead of deliberately complicating the conspiracy to unnecessary violent scenes to confuse the audience.

The producers first planned to hold the title of the film Dari Tappida Mug, as a tribute to Dr Rajkumar’s 1975 classic blockbuster. However, he eventually decided against it after strong protests from every section of the society. Maybe a good decision!

Dhiren Ramkumar makes every effort to make Shiva’s inconsistent character appear tolerable and charming, but he has to learn a lot about acting, especially in scenes involving intense emotions. Only fighting and action skills will not help his cause. for the mind kendasampige And tagaru fame), Madhu’s role is a walk in the park, and she handles the complex character with ease. Actors like Avinash and Charanraj as usual fit their bill, but the director completely fails to make the best use of Chikanna’s character. Also, there is no point in casting Sadhu Nightingale just to give it a comedy touch!

to shorten, Shiva 143 There are a lot of glamorous scenes, tears and a lot of blood and violence, but the essence of the film is lost somewhere in the enthusiasm of the makers to please the frustrated lovers of the current generation, who lovingly blame women for all their problems. .
