Baaba Kannada Movie
Debutant director Trishul says that the title of the film should not be linked to Super Star Rajnikanth's Baaba, but being an ardent Rajni fan he had not thought of any different title for the film. Baaba is a story of a young student taking up sword and sickle to fight other rowdy elements in the other gang. He is supposed to have failed in metriculation, but he has enough strength to beat up ruffians of the rival gang using his weapons. He speaks in a cheap language and finally he fails in his love.
The film is so badly made that you will feel that this film as a whole is certainly not a tribute to a great actor like Rajnikanth, but it is a shame on the director to have made such a horrible film which can frighten you with each sequence. It does not bear resemblance to any of Rajni starrers though the director claims that he is a great fan of the Super star.
Within a few minutes of the beginning of the film you would realise that the director does not have any social responsibilities and he has just framed his story with some crude elements which may appeal to a section of the audience. The film does not take off at any point because of a poor screenplay. And the story which could have been narrated in just ten minutes is stretched long for two and half hours. A boring film indeed with cheap dialogues, uninteresting narration and inconsequential fight sequences.
The story revolves around young Baaba hailing from a middle class family who wants to become a rowdy on his own. Despite his father's attempts to get him into the mainstream, Baba refuses to learn. But Baba is fond of a High School student Indhu and he is hesitant to disclose her love for her. Baba's father gets him a job in a mortuary, but the wayward boy refuses to join. Finally Indhu asks him how he will be ble to look after her when he is unemployed. This question makes Baba understand the realities of life and he decides to attend his job in the mortuary. But in the tragic end, Baba finds that his lover gets killed.
Such a banal story is narrated in a banal fashion on screen. Even veteran artists like Ramesh Bhat and Padma Vasanthi look so silly on screen. However Pragna ignites in a few sequences. Camera work is impressive in a few sequences, but music is a let down as the film's script.
Avoid this film at all costs.
