Preethi Yeke Bhoomi Melidhe Kannada Movie

Dec 28, 2007 By RGV

Can a director who has given three block busters deliver such a half baked project like "Preethi Eke Bhoomi Melidhe'? Perhaps you would come out of the theatre wondering whether director Prem who was considered as the most talented director of the Kannada film industry made the film with utter confusion or may be with a sense of high voltage arrogance. Well, Preethi Eke Bhoomi Melidhe is a disappointing film.

Preethi Eke Bhoomi Melidhe falters from the first sequence and you would be made to wonder as to why some unrelated sequences are added. The film drags on with such inconsequential sequences where dialogues are filled without making an impact. And the musical score of the film is inconsistent. There are two good songs, but the remaining songs are not up to the mark. And even the songs are shot mediocre, except for the much-publicized Mallika Sherawat song, which brings in some relief to the much-harassed audience.

The film has a thin story line. Chandru lives by selling Bus tickets in a Bus station. He believes that some girl is waiting for him and he would get her. Likewise there is another girl Sowmya who stays in a village thinking in similar lines. Chandru is interacting with another girl who takes a liking towards him. Chandru and Sowmya will hover around the same place and locations many a times, but they would not meet any time. They finally meet at a place, but the film ends suddenly without throwing any hints about their future.

With such a confusing story and a hackneyed script, it has been a difficult job for Prem to make a convincing film. He has never bothered to do his homework properly and the result is all there to see. Prem looks dull from the first scene and the two heroines make very little impact. Prem's selection of artists was always perfect, but with this film he has really faltered to a large extent. It is a complete failure for Prem as an actor and a director.

Technically also the film suffers with the editing work doing a major damage. M.R.Seenu's lighting work is to be appreciated. But Music director R.P. is as inconsistent as ever.

'Preethi Eke Bhoomi Melidhe' is a thoroughly disappointing fare.
