This makes no sense. The title Hodi maga means hit him. Hit him means beat the bad guy not a stranger. Well, this movie has a meaning. Is the producer or the director screwed to keep a name this way – No! I think the censor board have to censor things that are unappropriate and unusual for the karnataka cinema! Saying this I conclude that hodi maga title should not be changed!

Time and again censor chief’s double standards has been revealed.He seems to be having lot of inclinations towards third class lyrics and dialgoues of VM andJunglee respectively.Hw is loosing credibility and respect from these kinds of attutudes.

Almost every film-maker without fail says that their movie is a “different” movie before its release.
Some fanatics of Shivanna said Maadesha was a family entertainer even after its release.

Moral of the story:
Do not believe film-makers claims before its release and fanatics views after its release

According to press reports the movie would be a family oriented despite the title being bit misleading .There was no need for censar chief or general public to make such hue and cry when subject being revealed by crew.Shivanna is most versatile actor and he has Bhagyadha Balegaara,Cheluveye ninna nodalu,Devara kotta thangi,Muttu.. nammappa, which are all having variety subjects.
I always wonder about people without having datebases of movies and forthcoming ones strangely coming into funny conclusions.

Hello sir, Nagaraja BL here…
Really its not a fair, I don’t know why Shivanna is facing the same problem again here..
but, this time its not from filmmaker, its due to the people who thinks they are good at giving certificate for the movie (ex, chandrashekar). even I have read about film controversy on title. really speaking they have doing this with intentionally because, with the film name nothing is going to be happens its the theme what the people are going to understand once they will see the movie. as per I know shivanna giving good movies.. I am kindly requesting the people not to do any other controversy on the movie… its not a game to play with others investment (because its the matter of money not stone every one should understand this), it could have told in the beginning when the name itself announced officially to the market, that was the rite time but not at this point.

Maybe Censor board ought to do what this movie title suggests with the makers of this movie too
In an ideal world, that song itself shouldn’t have been allowed in Jogi movie. Whoever was there on the censor board that time should be punished too. This glamourising of rowdyism should stop. Shivrajkumar looks and talks decent enough.. God only knows why he gets associated with such movies and controversies.

Well, the timing seems to be right too. According to this Bangalore Mirror piece, the censor board wrote to the film’s makers on October 23, 2008. And even called them to the censor board’s office to explain the same. I suppose its entirely their mistake that they thought this matter can be buried.
