Sundari GanDa Sadananda Kannada Movie

The film is a below average affair which you can conveniently give a miss. There are a few laughs here and there, but the narration is so boring that you have to yawn a hundred times during the show. May 27, 2008 By RGV

Sundari Ganda Sadananda starts off as a full length comedy film, but takes up different routes in its narrative that you think whether the film is a thriller or a serious film. It ends up as a below ordinary fare. There are a few laughs here and there, but the narration is so boring that you have to yawn a hundred times during the show.

The film starts off with a slow narration and you will keep waiting for the occasional comical twist to come and make you smile. But the film fails to engage the audience and the so called jokes come cropper in many sequences. The title of the film and comedy actor Sharan's presence in the leading role may indicate that the film is a full length comedy, but Umakanth the director of the film has erred in many ways to dilute the narration of this film.

Umakanth has based his narration on the Hollywood film Phone Booth starring Colin Farrel and has tried to make some changes to suit the taste of the present day audience. But in the process he has made a mess of the whole narration. He has not been helped by the ordinary technical support that he has received. And the music of the film is also just average.

Sadananda is the husband of Sundari, a bespectacled buck tooth woman. Though he is two timing with his wife, Sadananda pretends as though he is very loyal to his wife. But he has lot of girl friends with whom he has clandestine affairs. And he is also putting up an act as a Bachelor and a rich man. But an anonymous caller threatens Sadananda that he will spill the beans to put him in tight corner. And Sadananda is pressurized to do many things. And finally Sadananda (Sharan) is made to own his mistakes in public in presence of his wife and his girl friends.

Director V Umakanth has conveniently lifted the story idea from Hollywood movie Phone Booth starring Colin Farrell. Though the director has successfully remoulded it to suit Sandalwood viewers, there is a dearth of genuine comedy here.

Sharan has tried to save the film with his performance. But his singular factor is marred by Umakanth's narration. Well known Television Journalist Balakrishna Kakathkar plays a comeo in this film.

The film is a below average affair which you can conveniently give a miss.
