The eagerly expected Kannada film
Hollywood an opulently made film with a budget of Rs.7 crore is not |
|
as expected. There are exotic locations - a
real feast to the eyes. There is Melkote Seenu (a Monkey) and three Upendras plus
Ananthnag. The redeeming features of this film are very little. Director Dinesh Baboo
easily takes the viewers for granted. He has not answered a few questions he puts on the
big screen. What happened to the safety locker 164 that contained the chip? How did robot
Upendra managed to function after just throwing the chip?
It is a lavishly made film no doubt. The presence of an expensive producer the brilliant
Upendra and stylish cum thinker Dinesh |
|
Baboo could have given
something more than what is done in Hollywood.
The script done by Upendra has got no earthshaking element in it. One Upendra is timid. He
wants to win |
his lover. Another Upendra is fire in his
attitude. He wants to produce a film in Hollywood and get an Oscar. The
heroine is behind this director Upendra. The timid Upendra in order to win the heart of
his lover ask for the help of his boss. The boss immediately makes a robot Upendra. And
the confusion starts. By the time everything is sorted with heroine Felicity the robot
Upendra fights against goons and go in to pieces on earth when he comes in to contact with
electricity. In between there is a monkey that is studying all the developments and the
voice over for it (done by Ramesh Bhat) is only laughing element in the film.

There are all faces of Upendra. How does he
look like in various mental make -up? Felicity is a mismatch. The photography is a classic
part of this film. Ananthnag looks very funny. Pass marks to Melkote Seenu alias Lakshmi a
monkey hired from Chennai. Remaining marks to actor Ramesh Bhat for matching the voice to
monkey.
Mr Ramu the proud producer of Kannada filmdom - you have given a lavish film without
working on the script and scintillating elements.
Dinesh Baboo and Upendra should stop enjoying their ideas at the cost of others money.
This film is more a travelogue than narrating a story with artistes.
