EDITOR'S PICK
Rating: *
Before you think that the film is about tsunami, the only connect is the name of
the film`s protagonist, who is found abandoned during a catastrophic tragedy
that hit Indonesia and parts of south India.
It starts off with the television images of tsunami playing havoc. Since the
abandoned boy`s name is unknown, he ends up being called Tsunami. Other than
this, there is nothing that connects the title of the film to the story, which
is totally non-existent.
Tsunami is low on technical content and has absolutely no story
element. Everything is predictable.
Tsunami was under production for a long time and has finally seen
the light of the day. It can neither be called an action film nor a thriller, as
there is not even one sequence, which connects to reality or infuses some
interest in the proceedings. The action sequences are badly picturised, and the
camera work is pathetic.
The flashback sequences of the film are mostly in Hindi, which cannot be
understood by the large number of regular Kannada film audience.
Tsunami, the boy, is helping his adoptive father in his business in Mumbai. His
efforts to improve the business compels him to rub shoulders with some
anti-social elements, who end up killing Tsunami`s parents.
A disgusted Tsunami comes to Bengaluru and helps commoners in their fight
against rowdy elements and during his quest, becomes a big don. Some
anti-national elements want to take his help to engage in terrorist activities.
Tsunami agrees to place bombs in some places in Bengaluru, but decides to teach
the wrong-doers a lesson. At the end, Tsunami dies while saving the city.
Producer Raju Patil, who essays Tsunami, is unfit for the role. He emotes with a
stiff face throughout the film and fails to register emotions required for the
sequences.
However, film`s lead actress Sonia is better. Lot of talented artists from the
Kannada film industry like Rangayana Raghu, Bullet Prakash, Doddanna and Tennis
Krishna have lesser scope to perform.
Two Hindi actors Rana and Narang have been used in the film but they fail to
make any impact. Sadguna Raj`s music is just ordinary. Watch the film at your
own risk.
