My review : Lifeu Ishtene
“Lifeu Isthene” is a swanky, urbane , stylish , pragmatic & uber cool version of “Autograph” by debutant director Pawan Kumar. Happy to finally catch up with the most liked Kannada movie of the year 2011.
This movie is a proof of how a taut script , flawless execution , wonderful casting & excellent acting can elevate a wafer thin story into a brilliant movie. No point in 2 hours 15 minutes viewer feels bored. No wonder movie worked wonders among the urban youth of Karnataka this year.
Story is how a “Ted Mosby”ish Vishal finally happens to meet & get hitched with the love of his life after a series of romantic misadventures. The narration is linear with lighter vein maintained throughout the length of the movie with a brief melodrama towards the end which perfectly blends in with the overall narration.
Diganth has become an ideal choice for roles of this kind after “Manasaree” & “Pancharangi”. He has done an excellent job as the protagonist Vishal with a restrained performance. Samyuktha Horanadu as the fun loving journalism student is first class. Sindhu Lokanath as the practical Nadhini , Vishal’s classmate who breakup with him when he fails to consider a serious career option is adequate. Neenasam Satish as Vishal’s pragmatic friend Shivu has also done his role to perfection , especially in the pre-climax scene where he swells up your eyes with tears.
“Yarige helona” is a huge hit among the youth while most of the other songs are melodious & hum worthy. Music is by Mano Murthy.
Sugnana’s cinematography is suave & trendy keeping with the overall mood of the movie.
Pawan Kumar has made a sterling debut with this movie & he seems to understand the pulse of today’s youngsters. He also has a very good visual sense & aesthetic taste.
On the whole , “Lifeu Ishtene” is a funny nostalgic ride down the memory lane for some & empathetic commentary on their own life for some.
Bottomline: Brilliant
4/5
