Cheluvina Chittara Kannada Movie

Cheluvina Chiththaara directed by Kannada film industry's well known writer -director S.Narayan, does not bring him any credit or can enhance the status of the hot shot actor Ganesh who is now in his peak in the Kannada film industry. The film is a remake of Tamil Hit Kaadal directed by Balaji Shaktivel which was supposed to have been based on a real life incident.

Unfortunately, the Kannada remake version does not have the native feel and every sequence of Cheluvina Chiththaara very much looks like the Tamil film.

Cheluvina Chiththaara lacks the authenticity portrayed in the original Tamil film, as for the Kannada audience some of the sequences may look unreal. Narayan's intention to follow the original has affected the Kannada film which does not have the feel of the local ethos.

The climax scene and the sequences which lead to the climax sequence of the film may not go well with the Kannada film audience, and it may well look too crude.

Here goes the story…Maadesha works as a mechanic in a garage. He is liked by an innocent school going girl who is the daughter of a local don. Maadesha is deeply in love with the girl and both of them decide to get married. They elope from the town and even get married. Later the gang members of the don are in search of the couple. The lovers are lured by the uncle of the girl and they are taken back to the Don. An enraged Don beats up Maadesha and even takes out the Thali of his daughter to forcibly marry her to a person engaged earlier. After a gap of two years the girl traces a mentally retarded Maadesh. Later on the girl is made to unite with Maadesha by her husband who takes away the child.

Ganesh has given a decent performance as Maadesha, but for many of his fans who have seen him performing comedy it may be difficult to accept him in a tragic role. The director has been able to extract some work from the film's new heroine Amoolya who definitely needs to improve if she has to climb up the ladder in the industry. Komal has once again excelled in the friend's role. And Kaadal Dhandapaani plays the same role he had played in the Tamil film. Narayan introduced a new villain Lingenahalli Suresh Chandra who has performed with ease.

Mano Murthy's music is focused more on melody and two songs are definitely pleasing for years. The work in other technical departments is of high quality.

Cheluvina Chiththaara will certainly go well among the family audience as it is clean and natural. But its success or otherwise is certainly linked to the level of acceptance of the last few reels of the film.
