Synopsis OF AVANE SRIMANNARAYANA

Avane Srimannarayana is a treat for fans of not just Rakshit Shetty, but those who like cinema to be a wholesome intelligent exercise. There are a lot of guns blazing and a maverick protagonist ready to welcome those who opt to watch the film.

A treasure goes missing. A feudal lord dies, leaving his two step sons warring over his throne and struggling to fulfill his last wish. Fifteen years pass by and a quirky cop finds himself between the ongoing chaos. Will the treasure be recovered? Who will reign supreme?

The long trailer for Avane Srimannarayana set the note for what one could expect in the film. It showed a fantasy land called Amaravathi, filled with feudal lords, cowboy inspired bars, a cop with traces of Jack Sparrow and a hint of a love story. While the film has all of this and more, the three-hour-plus run time might seem a tad long. It is probably best not expect much logic in the authenticity of the time period of the setting of this story - there's a bit of everything that has influenced the cinematic appeal of the writers (this one has Rakshit Shetty and seven more). However, it has a story that's like an intriguing jigsaw puzzle that the protagonist ensures you are constantly clued into.

The film has allusions to some cinematic greats from the West, especially Quentin Tarantino, much like one of actor-director Rakshit Shetty's previous films - Ulidavaru Kandante. The quirky tale brings fantasy alive on screen, a genre that's rarely touched by filmmakers here. The protagonist Narayana has the adventurous streak of Indiana Jones, the invincibility of Chuck Norris, the flair of Jack Sparrow and the swagger of the Country Western heroes. This ensures that there's both witticism and wisdom by his side. Achyuth makes for his perfect sidekick.

And what's a fantasy tale without good antagonists and this film has two, there's the menacing Jairama and his more cunning half brother Thukarama. The makers have ensured the leading lady is more than just a unidimensional figure, giving Lakshmi some interesting hues that have the audience rooting for her. Add to this a riddle, the pursuit of a missing treasure and a bunch of boisterous drama actors, one ends up having quite the scream.

Avane Srimannarayana scores with its performances, with five primary cast members - Rakshit Shetty, Balaji Manohar, Achyuth Kumar, Pramod Shetty and Shanvi Srivastava - leading the pack. The cinematography, sets and background score elevate the tale. Where the film falters is in the narrative, as it tends to become a little too self-indulgent at times. Maybe the story could have been a little shorter to ensure a better impact of the experience.

Avane Srimannarayana is a treat for fans of not just Rakshit Shetty, but those who like cinema to be a wholesome intelligent exercise. There are a lot of guns blazing and a maverick protagonist ready to welcome those who opt to watch the film.

Mangala Gowri Madve out of top 5 race; Naagini bags the third spot on TRP charts

The latest TRP report of the previous week witnessed quite a few notable changes. Irrespective of the position of other daily soaps, 'Jothey Jotheyalli' is consistently securing the numero uno spot from quite a while.

The Anirudh and Megha Shetty starrer show continues to be the most watched daily soaps of Kannada TV. The family drama revolves around a young lady and a middle-aged businessman who fall in love irrespective of their age gap.

On the second spot is 'Gattimela' which recently completed 250 episodes. Starring actor Raksh and Nisha Milana in the leads, Gattimela also marks the comeback of actor Raksh after his stint as 'Mahesha' in 'Putta Gowri Madve'.

Interestingly, Mangala Gowri Madve, which was in the third spot last time, is out of the top five race. Supernatural fiction 'Naagini', has climbed the ladder and is now in the third position.

Following Naagini is Paaru in the fourth spot. The show has maintained the position for quite sometime now. It recently introduced new character. Kannada film director and actor S Narayan joined the team.

On the other hand, the recent tweaks and turns in 'Kamali' seems to be favoring the team in terms of TRP. The show is now in the fifth position.

Synopsis

The story revolves around auto-rickshaw driver, Shankara who accidentally found a dog, called Gunda.

Auto-rickshaw driver, Shankara (played by actor KR Pete Shivaraj), was quite happy with his life until it took a dramatic turn when he accidentally found a dog, called Gunda, one night.

The bond between Shankara and Gunda grows with time, so much so that the dog becomes an integral part of his life. Their friendship also becomes the talk of the town. But little did he know that Gunda was a missing dog.

The twist in the plot happens when the dog owner comes looking for his pet. This shatters Shankara. Meanwhile, Shankara’s wife, Kavi (played by Samyukta Hornad), also wants the dog to be out of their lives.

Naanu Mathu Gunda captures the friendship between Shankara and Gunda. And the credit goes to the director for trying out a subject that touches upon the human-animal bond. The narration, however, is a tad longer. It could have been trimmed for about 15 minutes to keep you glued to the screen. Also, the story doesn’t go beyond Shankara and Gunda. Shivaraj deserves an appreciation for his commendable performance in his first outing as a hero. The film, which delves into a rather different subject, could be your perfect weekend watch. And if you’re a pet lover, it would leave you teary eyed.
