Best movie review I have seen till date…. KFI needs to come out of these stereotypes that are as ancient as the monuments in Hampi..Keep Writing…
I think Bellitere is the only site that publishes honest movie reviews of Kannada movies. Almost 95% (or more) are trashes…. No wonder nobody watches Kannada movies these days…. These movie makers are extremely dumb (school dropouts, rowdys, mafia people etc.) and they think that Karnataka audience is also dumb, and churn out trashy movies.. In 2009, there were 103 Kannada movies released and only 3 or 4 were hits (not according to paid fanboys)…
i had to see the review as the rating was given 1/5 on the homepage, damn it was a good review(the funny side of it), i liked it. its always depressing to visit this website as there is not even one good kannada movie review, i have been a regular follower of the reviews and when i jog down my memory i dont see many movies getting above 3 , i mean just see the volume of movies getting released and the number of movies that are commercial success, the conversion factor is very low. at this rate i feel the kannada film industry will phase out within 2015. pls hep !!!
Nice funny review,
As i have mentioned before…Raju could be a great script or story writer himself!!!
I love your reviews Raju.. they are so unique, creative and make the point clear. Way to go!!
Pooja, a reviewer does not have to keep anybody in mind. He just represents his views on a movie. If he is just plain bored watching a movie for two and half hours, he will be sarcastic about it, based on his attitude towards the moie and the degree of creativity he possesses. Merely stating the good and bad points of a movie is as bad as making a highly uninteresting films with stereotype narration!
@ sanjay : yes what ur sayin is right but its really not right on d reviewer to make a joke out of any movie. A reviewer represents d public but its not rite to give the public a wrong image. i liked the movie and the music and the performance of the stars are also good! and this is my opinion and each one’s opinion differs. but the reviewer should keep in mind all the people as they are the one’s who influence people’s mind.
@Pooja, should the movie viewers also be trained in Film-Direction??? As for as my understanding goes, movies are made for common public and reviewer represents common public’s point of view.. But u seem to suggest otherwise.
all of ul who think malebille is a bad movie plzz try directibg a movie first and then comment . raju shanbhag ur reviews sucks.. its a good movie and music is awesome..
Some directars like Prakash,Bhat and producers like Ramu are very particular about pressmeets and taking cares of medias.
nice review for a bad movie………. I pity you diganth
For a freaking change…
After the Shivanna bashing which I hate, comes a good review….
Cheers
