Going by the current standards of Sandalwood, this movie deserves 3.5 *s. This is a bold experiment by the director, to have his star brother in a role with grey shades. Darshan has done a wonderful job and fits the bill of a hero. The other hero’s in the movie have a long way to go (really long).

The build up was good, but the second half was a let down and hurried (without logical subplots to get to the climax). And who is the guy in the inspector role?? looks like a drum and a comedian.

The director has talent but needs to hone a lot of skills..still. Songs were nice. Again, at the rate movies are churned out without a thought, this definitely deserves one look.

I had totally underestimated the movie when the review said that it had the usual trappings of a darshan movie. That was completely wrong. There was no machoo, no mindless violence, no badly chooregraphed songs.

It was a complete delight from scene one to the end except for the helicopter scene. But lets give the director a credit. Some say t s inspired by Ocean 11 and Reservior Dogs. I say it is not. Those kind of movies r there since a long time and they are known as film noir. This belongs to that genre and in the second half, felt like reading a James Hadley Chase Novel.

Director had a good idea to promote the movie by casting the sons of yesteryears villains.

Looking forward for your next venture.

I think its inspired by Hollywood movie Ocean’s Eleven…

In ‘OE’ there are eleven guys…but in Navagraha, there are 9…

I saw this movie yest, i feel most of the negative responses and reviews given here is quite baseless and incorrect. The movie is worth every rupee, and one of the best thrillers in kannada movie in recent times, yes this movie is insired from the hollywood movie “Reservoir Dogs” (Bollywood had made a remake of the same movie and named it “Kaante”).!

I guess some of the reviewers here are just out to bad mouth the quality movies the Gandhi Nagar is churning out these days.

Go watch the movie, its good, i would give it 3.5 out of 5!

Give Darshan and Dinakar credit, this movie is fully worth the money you would spend on tickets. For the first time in recent times, in Kannada, a director has chosen to go beyond Macchu/Longu and/or Boy-meets-Girl-parents-oppose-finally marry rubbish! What’s wrong with the Kannada spoken in the film?? There is no obscene language used, no item songs, and the movie is Very clean. The casting is very good, and Darshan shines in a negative role. Given the loads of mindless trash that is passed off as “family cinema” in Kannada these days, this is one movie that can truly be watched by the family, reservoir dogs or not.

To answer all the critics and make my self clear on the issues here, the review written by me is to inform others about the fact that this is not a movie with a higher expectation. and one of the reviewer has told about it. nothing is there to be elaborated. The kannada spoken apart from inspector is terrible and the same with the new comer (cadbury hero). It is obvious that this is an experiment which has been never tried recently, we have to appauld dinakar for it . Infact i am dissapointed with the whole story how it is handled, yes agreed it is taken from kaante or reservoir dogs or whatever, he should have taken care to reduce to relevent to sandalwood.

Hi All,

The major mistake we do before going to watch a kannada movie is to check for the review. Please do not go by the review .. The movie is not worth to be watched. ..Its an average movie and the story is derived from Kaante a hindi movie and there is no grip on the dialogues or the scenes. .. apart from fights and two songs nothing is there to worth a watch.

This movie definitely deserves 3 stars.Darshan and Dinakar need to appreciated for their unique attempt in kannada industry.I liked the movie very much.Within kannada industry’s constraints ,they have tried an exciting new concept!!!!complete paisa vasool….. nobody can please “EVERYONE”.Even the gr8 “MUNGAARU MALE” had got average ratings by some critics in the beginning.After its stupendous success,they had to eat their own words…..All-In-All its a gr8 movie…..Keep it up….Thoogudeep Duo!!!!!!!

Very unique Movie.People ask for new scripts,different movies.when something really different is given to them they dont watch it.They find some or the other faults and reject it.Even the media doesnt appreciate a worthy effort Its a pity.Every film is not made inch perfect.Though there are some glitches in this movie its worth watching.If u cant receive these type of films then dont ask for ‘different movie’ ‘different movie’.
