Director Nanjunde Gowda fails to feel the pulse of the audience. It is sad that even after his earlier debacle Naanu Neenu Jodi, Gowda failed to realise the importance of comedy, songs and music. The poor quality and lack of richness make it difficult for the audience to sit through.
The entire film is shot at a small village. It’s nice to see a little bit greenery but had the director given more importance to performance than dialogues, the film might have been a good one.
Master Likhit has to improve a lot. He looks stoic in most of the sequences. Sadashiv Bramhavar has performed well while Pramila Joshai and Ramesh Bhat provided good support. Mandya Ramesh’s performance is not up to the mark. Sunder Raj, as the proactive husband of a village panchayat member, provides a little bit comedy.
The plus point of this film is background music by Raju Upendra Kumar.
Gandhi (Master Likhit) is a student at village primary school. Inspired by his grand-gather Rangajja (Sadashiv Bramhavar), Gandhi tries to follow Gandhian principles. He firmly believes in not to speak lie, not to see bad things and not to listen to bad things, but, lands in a trouble when he gives a witness against Suresh, the son of village panchayat member. Suresha plots against Gandhi and teacher Narayana Murthy (Mandya Ramesh) and accuses Gandhi for a theft. Murthy even teases Gandhi for having such name. Gandhi decides to change his name as Vidya Sagar but villagers plead him not to do so.
It is for children who have lot of patience.
