Kari Chirate Movie Review

Panther Minus Tiger!

But you see, there are too many villains in this bloody society. Tiger Prabhakar tried his best to clean them up in the late 80s along with the company of Ambarish and Vishnuvardhan. But the baddies just wouldn’t budge. Now, Black Panther Duniya Vijay has dutifully taken up that role of eradicating bad people from our society.

And the story repeats.

Now now, you should not be lead into believing that director Madesha has repeated the same storyline from any of Prabhakar movies. He has kept it the same so that mortals like you and me can understand the noble cause Vijay is serving with his six packs intact. It’s easy on our brains to make the connection.

First, there are bad people (your blood boils when you see them) who are politicians and police officers (what else?) and who look like close cousins of Vajramunis and Sudhirs in their demeanor and behavior. Then, there is Vijay, a simple Kari Chirate who leads a simple life with six packs and keeps turning down Yajna Shetty’s advances. The villains and Vijay come face to face with loud background music from Sadhu Kokila and Viji goes mad.

But then, director Madesha gives an earth shattering twist to the tale which we are not going to tell you for reasons you wouldn’t care. It will only suffice to say that Viji kills reasons and logics along with Rangayana Raghu, Jai Jagadish and other gang at the end of the film. You are still alive, but the story will take care of you, don’t worry.

Vijay overacts through his various Avatars and others like Yajna Shetty, Sudha Belavadi, Rangayana Raghu, Jai Jagadish etc are passable. Sharmila Mandre diverts your attention away from revenge in couple of hot scenes and that’s an extremely laudable effort.

Pssst.
