KANNADA MAD LOVE
EDITOR'S PICK
Rating:
*
First time director Teja`s "Mad Love" made with newcomers is an
atrocious attempt at filmmaking. It is supposed to narrate the story of a
dejected lover, but the film is so amateurishly handled that the audience may
walk out without seeing the entire movie.
Untrained actors, over acting, shabby technical work add up to make "Mad
Love" a bad watch.
There is not even one sequence in the film which could be linked to present
despite the fact that the story deals with present times. It looks like a film
made in fifties. Even the costumes of the hero and heroine look dated.
The story is about a rich guy Manu (Ramu), in love with a middle class girl
Ramya (Raveena). Mamu`s rich father gives importance to family prestige hence
opposes his son`s decision to marry a school teacher`s daughter. He threatens
Ramya`s family.
Halfway through the film Ramya dies. Mamu loses his mental balance. Police and
doctors try to find him. Finally, Mamu ends his own life.
Newcomers Ramu and Raveena give blank expressions, while veteran artists over
act in the film.
It is a pity that a veteran like music director Goochi is part of the film
because on technically front too it disappoints.
If you are a genuine film fan, give "Mad Love" a miss.
