Film: Badava Rascal

Director: Shankar Guru 

Cast: Dhananjaya, Amrutha Iyengar, Tara Anuradha, Rangayana Raghu, Sparsha Rekha, Nagabhushana NS 

Duration: 133 minutes 

Chitraloka Rating 4/5

Entertainment Guaranteed 

Director Shankar Guru picks up a simple story for his debut, but manages to give the film an entertaining touch with a fresh narrative and loads of praiseworthy sequences. Badava Rascal combines family drama, romance and friendly duels into an interesting symphony of character-driven narrative. 

Shankar, who tries to help an elderly couple from local rowdies is bundled off by them for his impudence to interfere. In their custody, he and Nag, his close friend, turns the table on their kidnappers by simply narrating Shankar's story. Every incident of his life he tells his captors endears him to them and in the end, they are ready to help him in any way.

So instead of a straight leniar narrative, the director employs a different approach of getting the hero to narrate samples of his life. Each of this flashback is an interesting incident about his family life, consisting of his parents and his love affair with the daughter of a rich and powerful woman in power.   

Even though it is the often heard "poor boy meets rich girl" story, the incidents in the form of anecdotes makes for an interesting watch. Each scene therefore is good in itself. The different pieces are held together by the central characters played by Dhananjaya, Nagabhushana, Tara, Rangayana Raghu, Amrutha and Rekha. While all these actors top their game, there is superlative performances from Tara and Dhananjaya. 

Technically, the film is a nice package with visuals made for the big screen, music enhancing the experience and editing removing the rough edges. Badava Rascal is a neatly made commercial film that won't disappoint the regular crowd to the theatres. This is what would fit the definition of a bang for your buck film.

-Review By S Shyam Prasad

Actress Sanchita Shetty who started off her carrier in Kannada and went on to become a popular actress in Tamil  is back to Kannada once again. The actress has silently signed a new film as a heroine and this time the actress is playing Dhananjay's heroine in 'Badmash'.

'Badmash' being produced by Kashyap and directed by Akash Srivatsa is currently under production and the shooting of the film is in full progress. Earlier, only Dhananjay was finalised as the hero. Now Sanchita Shetty who made her mark as Pooja Gandhi's friend in 'Mungaru Male' has been roped in as the heroine. After 'Mungaru Male' and few other films, Sanchita went to Tamil and became famous with films like 'Pizza 2' and 'Soodu Kavvum' and is now making a reentry to Kannada films with 'Badmash'.

The film is said to be a love story in the backdrop of the current hot and trendy topics like politics, cricket, cinema, sting operations and many more. Poornachandra Tejasvi is in charge of music while Srisha Kooduvalli is the cameraman.

Badmash is an unusual experience with an unusual story. The main plot of the film revolves around a big red diamond from ancient Indian history. Though it is fictitious an elaborate story has been woven around it and it becomes central to the plot. The film starts with the story of the diamond called Vijaya Vaidhurya and how it has shaped history being a powerful omen. Then the film moves to the current time.

There are two plots running simultaneously. In one, a politician called King (Achuyth) is making a bid to become the chief minister. He is a cunning politician and as the home minister manages to use the media to his advantage. On the other hand there is Badmash, the hero who is working for a liquor baron who owns a cricket team. King is using money generated in the cricket betting for politics. He comes in clash with the liquor baron. King does all his work on the behest of an astrologer. 

As the story unfolds, all the plots clash and the various suspense elements are revealed one by one. There is not one but quite a few twists and turns. This makes for an engrossing watch. 

There is also a lovely romantic plot with Dhananjayand Sanchita Shetty. How these two are related to the sinister plot of King and how they become pawns but manage to come out triumph due to Dhananjay's 'Games' forms the unusual subject. 

The film also has some good songs that are peppered throughout the film. The film also has some amazing camera work. The making is top class and the new director shows immense promise. Dhananjay makes a big mark with this film and his screen presence is seen to be believed. His dialogue delivery and stunt scenes take him to the top league. 

Badmash has all the necessary elements needed for a mass masala entertainer. It is one more good film by newcomers and not to be missed. 

Chitraloka Rating 3/5

Adding more woes to Kannada movies, the online booking platform Book My Show is yet again in news, and this time for another blunder it has committed. In an glaring mistake, BMS has uploaded the photo of Ms. Asha Rani, wife of Action King Arjun Sarja with the caption Nivedita, who is the actual leading actress in the movie Popcorn Monkey Tiger. 

That's not all, the website has yesteryear actress Rekha's photo in the place of actress Sparsha Rekha in the star cast slot for the Popcorn Monkey Tiger Kannada movie. After facing flak for its blunder, BMS has rectified its mistake by replacing the actual photos of the actresses who are casted in the Popcorn Monkey Tiger Kannada movie.

The BMS has been in the eye of storm with regard to Kannada movies in the recent past after a series of Kannada filmmakers accusing it of undermining Kannada movies. Several Kannada producers have openly complained against BMS for their deliberate act against their movies despite being rated high by the critics and the audience.

Some of them accuse that the online platform has been functioning at its own whims and fancies favoring only a few based on monetary purpose.

"Unfortunately several Kannada producers are hiring online promoters from Hyderabad, Chennai and Mumbai even for promotions within Karnataka, who lack passion or knowledge about Kannada film industry. All they do is copy paste data entry jobs in many instances," the experts say.

They add that the time has come for Kannada filmmakers to introspect on whether they are really benefiting from hiring online promoters from outside Karnataka.

After Dia and Gentleman, the sad state of affairs continues with Sagutha Doora Doora on BMS as the filmmaker raising strong objections too while asking the film body to intervene formulating a mechanism against such oppressive factors acting against the growth of Kannada movies.

Advance booking for Tagaru starring Shivarajkumar and directed by Suri has started one week before release. Some of the shows are already sold out. This is one of the most sensational films releasing this year in Kannada. Bookings have started in several single screen theatres in Bengaluru including Rex on Brigade Road and Urvashi theatre.

The demand for the film can be guaged from the fact that bookings have started a week before release and already filling up. Bookings in multiplexes is expected to start in a day. The film's music is already a big hit and the title song has become a blockbuster.
