Teenage (Kannada)

The film fails to catches the attention of the audience because of its lifeless script. The multilevel plotting becomes the greatest liability with director Shrikanth failing to establish a consistent mood or a strong point of view. The casting also does not leave any lasting impact.

The highly-touted Teenage tells the story of a teenage boy involved with different girlfriends. Teenager Arya (Kishan), who does not know what love is all about, feels that every girl he meets has a liking for him. The result— he ends up with four girls.

On the other side is Arya's love for his sister who was adopted by his relatives at birth and now lives in Australia. He is glad to see her after 15 years but she does not accept him as her brother.

How Arya manages to win the love of his sister is shown in this love story, which gives more importance to the brother-sister sentiment.

You can watch the film for Kishan, the youngest director-turned-actor in the industry. However, he still needs to learn a lot when it comes to acting. Otherwise, the rest of the performances in the film are forgettable.

 The film is an eye candy as the atmosphere is created with bright and contrasting colours. The girls, Tanvi Lonkar, Apoorva Arora and Priya Bharat Khanna are cute and presentable.

Among the nine songs in the film, the only song that is worth a watch is the one shot underwater.

Otherwise, the movie  is a soulless, repetitive drama, portrayed by dim-witted young boys and girls.

The Verdict: If you want to enjoy the memories of your teenage years,  chuck this film.
