`Krishna Nee Late...` A laugh out loud comedy (IANS Film Review)
Rating: ***
Actor and writer Mohan has shown his prowess as a writer in his first
directorial venture Krishna Nee Late Aagi Baro, which proves to be
an entertaining comedy.
The script has many interesting sequences that engage the audience. The actors
too have done a good job in making the audience laugh.
It is the bizarre characters that bring life to the film. Another interesting
aspect of the film is that the other characters are unrelated to the lead
characters in the film.
Take for example the character of a tradition bound desperate suitor who is
prepared to marry a modern girl who smokes and drinks or a police inspector
Ghajini who suffers from short term memory loss and takes photographs of those
who come to him for help. And there is also a wayward godman Chacocha Swamiji
who advises his devotees to shun the company of women but has himself married
three times and has eloped with the fourth one.
Mohan has also been able to bring out the contrasting characteristics of his
lead actors quite effectively.
The strength of the film lies in the way Mohan has spun the script and given
adequate space to these bizarre characters. He has also written some good catchy
dialogues. Mohan has been provided valuable help by Praveen Godkindi, who has
composed the music for the film.
The negative point of the film is that the Vikram-Bethal episode has been used
to narrate the story and sometimes the audience may feel little distracted
whenever the Vikram-Bethal characters appear to take the story forward.
The story revolves around a college lecturer Krishna working in an all-women`s
college who feels even talking to women is an unforgivable crime.
His parents want him to marry their relative Lakshmi who adores Krishna. And
there is also a side love track in the film, that is also quite interesting.
What happens when these unmatched characters meet and stay in the same hotel
forms the plot.
True to his reputation, Ramesh Arvind is first rate in his performance. Mohan is
also impressive as an actor. But it is Nidhi Subbaiah and Neetu who have done
really well. Sundar who is very popular in television serials comes up with a
brilliant performance.
