Simhadri Simha. Saw the kannada movie today. Atleast parts of it. vishnuvardhan is like a demigod there, just below Rajkumar.
The thing is, this is a pretty well made kannada movie, without overacting, but still, such a movie gives a lot of totally twisted social messages like:
1) Girls who get raped should marry their rapists to solve the problem.
WTF? Why the hell should girls who get raped marry their rapists? The argument from the other side is that once you marry, such feelings die down. Yeah right - the cure of such charged perverted people is to get them married.
2) The only other way out for raped girls is to commit scuicide
3) The treatment of eunuchs as another species that only deserve to be made fun of.
4) The villiage head doling out punisments instead of the law following its course. Like being banished for murder, or being banished for suspected rape, without even an investigation, let alone a trial.
Dumb movie. And all this was only in the twenty minute window that I watched it for. The way such "good" kannada movies go, I have no remorese whatsoever in the fact that bollywood is making the kannada industry extinct.
Anyway, all kannada movies (including the ones with mythological themes) border on soft-porn in the song sequences that suddenly jump up from nowhere.
