ಅಯೋಗ್ಯ, ಕಳೆದ ವರ್ಷದ ಸೂಪರ್ ಡ್ಯೂಪರ್ ಹಿಟ್ ಸಿನಿಮಾ. ಆ ಸಿನಿಮಾದ ಸಿದ್ದ-ನಂದಿನಿ ಜೋಡಿಯೂ ಅಷ್ಟೇ.. ಅಭಿಮಾನಿಗಳ ಹೃದಯ ಗೆದ್ದಿತ್ತು. ಈಗ ಆ ಜೋಡಿ ಮತ್ತೆ ಒಂದಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಮ್ಯಾಟ್ನಿಯಲ್ಲಿ.

ನೀನಾಸಂ ಸತೀಶ್ ಅಭಿನಯಿಸುತ್ತಿರುವ ಹೊಸ ಸಿನಿಮಾ ಮ್ಯಾಟ್ನಿ ಚಿತ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ಹೀರೋಯಿನ್ ರಚಿತಾ ರಾಮ್. ಮನೋಹರ್ ಕಾಂಪಲ್ಲಿ ಎಂಬ ಹೊಸ ಪ್ರತಿಭೆ ಈ ಚಿತ್ರದ ಮೂಲಕ ನಿರ್ದೇಶಕರಾಗುತ್ತಿರುವುದು ವಿಶೇಷ. ನಿರ್ಮಾಪಕರಾಗುತ್ತಿರುವುದು ಪಾರ್ವತಿ ಎಂಬ ಹೆಣ್ಣು ಮಗಳು. ರೋಸ್, ಗನ್, ಫನ್ ಎಲ್ಲವೂ ಇರುವ ಪಕ್ಕಾ ಎಂಟರ್‍ಟೈನ್‍ಮಂಟ್ ಸಬ್ಜೆಕ್ಟ್ ಮ್ಯಾಟ್ನಿಯಲ್ಲಿದೆಯಂತೆ.

ಪವರ್ ಸ್ಟಾರ್ ಪುನೀತ್ ರಾಜ್‍ಕುಮಾರ್ ಅಭಿನಯದ ನಟಸಾರ್ವಭೌಮ ಚಿತ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ರಚಿತಾ ರಾಮ್ ನಾಯಕಿಯಾದಾಗ, ಪುನೀತ್ ಅಭಿಮಾನಿಗಳು ನಿಜಕ್ಕೂ ಖುಷಿಗೊಂಡಿದ್ದರು. ಕನ್ನಡ ಚಿತ್ರರಂಗದ ಸ್ಟಾರ್‍ಗಳ ಹೀರೋಯಿನ್ ಎಂದೇ ಹೆಸರುವಾಸಿಯಾಗಿರುವ ರಚಿತಾಗೆ ಇದು ಅಪ್ಪು ಜೊತೆ ಎರಡನೇ ಸಿನಿಮಾ. ಚಕ್ರವ್ಯೂಹ ಚಿತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ಇದೇ ಜೋಡಿ ಮಾಡಿತ್ತು. 

ಆದರೆ, ಪ್ರಿಯಾಂಕಾ ಜಾಗಕ್ಕೆ ರಚಿತಾ ರಾಮ್ ಬಂದಾಗ, ಆನ್‍ಲೈನ್‍ನಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದು ಅಭಿಯಾನ ಶುರುವಾಯಿತು. ಪುನೀತ್ ಅಭಿಮಾನಿಗಳು ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿಕೊಂಡ ಕೆಲವರು #ರಚಿತಾಬೇಡ ಎಂಬ ಅಭಿಯಾನವನ್ನೇ ನಡೆಸಿದರು. ಚಿತ್ರಲೋಕ ಈ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ವರದಿ ಮಾಡಿ, ಅದರ ನಂತರ ಸುದ್ದಿಯ ಬೆನ್ನು ಹತ್ತಿದಾಗ ಗೊತ್ತಾಗಿದ್ದೇ ಬೇರೆ.

ಪುನೀತ್ ರಾಜ್‍ಕುಮಾರ್, ತಮ್ಮ ಅಭಿಮಾನಿಗಳ ಜೊತೆ ನಿರಂತರ ಸಂಪರ್ಕದಲ್ಲಿರುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಆದರೆ, ಅವರ್ಯಾರೂ ಈ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಪುನೀತ್ ಬಳಿ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾಪ ಮಾಡಿಲ್ಲ. ನಿಜವಾದ ಪುನೀತ್ ರಾಜ್‍ಕುಮಾರ್ ಅಭಿಮಾನಿಗಳು ಅಪ್ಪು-ರಚಿತಾ ಜೋಡಿಗೆ ನಿಜಕ್ಕೂ ಖುಷಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಆದರೆ, ಕೆಲವರು ಪುನೀತ್ ಅಭಿಮಾನಿಗಳ ಹೆಸರಲ್ಲಿ ಈ ಫೇಕ್ ಅಭಿಯಾನ ಶುರು ಮಾಡಿದ್ದು ಯಾಕೆ..? ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಉತ್ತರವೇ ಸಿಗುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ.

ಇನ್ನು ರಚಿತಾ ರಾಮ್, ಪುನೀತ್ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಗೌರವದಿಂದ ನಡೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ನಟಿ. ಇದು ಇಡೀ ಚಿತ್ರೋದ್ಯಮಕ್ಕೇ ಗೊತ್ತಿರುವ ವಿಷಯ. ಹಾಗಾದರೆ, ಇದು ಫೇಕ್ ಅಭಿಯಾನವಾ..? ಪುನೀತ್ ರಾಜ್‍ಕುಮಾರ್ ಅವರ ನಿಜವಾದ ಅಭಿಮಾನಿಗಳ್ಯಾರೂ ಈ ರೀತಿ ನಡೆದುಕೊಂಡಿಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೆ, ಈ ಅಭಿಯಾನ ಒಂದಿಷ್ಟು ತಳಮಳ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸಿದ್ದಂತೂ ಸತ್ಯ.

ಪುನೀತ್ ರಾಜ್‍ಕುಮಾರ್ ಆಗಲೀ, ನಿರ್ಮಾಪಕ ರಾಕ್‍ಲೈನ್ ವೆಂಕಟೇಶ್ ಆಗಲೀ, ನಿರ್ದೇಶಕ ಪವನ್ ಒಡೆಯರ್ ಆಗಲೀ.. ಯಾರೂ ಈ ಅಭಿಯಾನವನ್ನು ಗಂಭೀರವಾಗಿ ಪರಿಗಣಿಸಿಲ್ಲ. 

ಅಭಿಮಾನಿಗಳ ಹೆಸರಲ್ಲಿ ಇಂತಹ ಅತಿರೇಕಗಳು ಚಿತ್ರರಂಗಕ್ಕೆ ಹೊಸದೇನಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೆ, ಅತಿರೇಕದ ಅಭಿಮಾನ ಪ್ರದರ್ಶನದಿಂದ ಚಿತ್ರರಂಗಕ್ಕೆ ಒಳಿತಾಗುವುದಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗಿ ಕೆಡುಕೇ ಹೆಚ್ಚು. ನಿಜವಾದ ಅಭಿಮಾನಿಗಳು ಇದನ್ನು ಅರ್ಥ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ನಟಸಾರ್ವಭೌಮ ಚಿತ್ರ ಯಶಸ್ವಿಯಾಗಲಿ ಎಂದು ಹಾರೈಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

A family's tech challenge 

Entrapment as a movie theme needs a watertight script and a convincing narrative. This movie makes it happen. 

An edge-of-the-seat thriller from one of the most family-oriented film stars bodes something special. And 100 is special. The contemporary technological concern about social media becomes an interesting story  narrated in a gripping manner. 

A cop on a secret enterprise gets a nasty surprise when he finds his family trapped by a dangerous conman. That is just the cop's story. The audience get to watch surprising twists and shocking turns every second scene. 

The first few scenes are used for a soft launch of the story in the old style including a song. But once the actual plot gets going, there is no looking back. The cat and mouse between the cop and cheat keeps you hooked. What is not a fight between the good and bad must be a fight between legal and illegal. 

Ramesh Aravind's execution of the story is clinical. It is measured and shuns melodrama. Not going overboard is what makes 100 a perfect family film. There are some impressive performances too. Prakash Belawadi and Shobraj, even in their small roles make a lasting impression. 

Ramesh Aravind is a perfectionist as ever while Rachita Ram sparkles in the character. Vishwa Karna as the antagonist is a charming menace. Satya Hegde's clearly defined shots and Ravi Basrur's music compliment the film well. 

This perfectly balanced film has a message for the masses which is convincingly put across.

-Movie Review By S Shyam Prasad

100. ಸಂಖ್ಯೆಗಳನ್ನೇ ಸಿನಿಮಾ ಟೈಟಲ್ ಆಗಿಟ್ಟುಕೊಂಡು ಬಂದ ಸಿನಿಮಾಗಳು ಅಪರೂಪದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಪರೂಪ. ಅಂತಾದ್ದೊಂದು ಪ್ರಯೋಗ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ ರಮೇಶ್ ಅರವಿಂದ್. 100 ಅನ್ನೋ ಟೈಟಲ್ಲೇ ಏಕೆ..? ಈ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆಗೆ ರಮೇಶ್ ಉತ್ತರಿಸೋದು ಹೀಗೆ.

100 ಅನ್ನೋದು ಯುನಿವರ್ಸಲ್ ನಂಬರ್. ಏನಾದರೂ ಅಪರಾಧವಾದರೆ, ಅದನ್ನು ಕಂಡ ಜನ ಮೊದಲು ಕಾಲ್ ಮಾಡೋ ನಂಬರ್ 100. ಒಬ್ಬ ಕ್ರಿಕೆಟ್ ಆಟಗಾರ ಸೆಂಚುರಿ ಹೊಡೆದಾಗ ಅಥವಾ ಹೊಡೆಯುವಾಗ ಮೈಲ್ ಸ್ಟೋನ್ 100. ಒಬ್ಬ ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಯ ಗುರಿ 100. ಅದನ್ನು ಟೀಚರ್ ಒಬ್ಬರು ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಗೆ ಹೇಳುವಾಗ 100ಕ್ಕೆ 100 ತೆಗೀಬೇಕು. ಅಲ್ಲಿಯೂ 100. ಅಷ್ಟೇ ಅಲ್ಲ, ಮುಂದೊಂದು ದಿನ ಈ ಚಿತ್ರವನ್ನು ನಮಗೆ ಗೊತ್ತೇ ಇಲ್ಲದ ಸ್ಪಾನಿಷ್ ಭಾಷೆಗೆ ಡಬ್ ಮಾಡಿದರೂ ಚಿತ್ರದ ಟೈಟಲ್ ಅಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ರೀಚ್ ಆಗುತ್ತೆ. ಇಷ್ಟೆಲ್ಲಕ್ಕೂ ಮಿಗಿಲಾಗಿ ಆ ಟೈಟಲ್ನ ಹಿಂದೆ ಒಂದು ಸಸ್ಪೆನ್ಸ್ ಇದೆ. ಅದನ್ನು ನೀವು ಚಿತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ನೋಡಬೇಕು ಎನ್ನುತ್ತಾರೆ ರಮೇಶ್.

ಎಲ್ಲವೂ ಪಕ್ಕಾ ಆಗಿದ್ದರೆ ಶಿವಾಜಿ ಸುರತ್ಕಲ್ ಚಿತ್ರದ 50ನೇ ದಿನದಂದು 100 ರಿಲೀಸ್ ಆಗಬೇಕಿತ್ತು. ಎಲ್ಲಕ್ಕೂ ಬ್ರೇಕ್ ಹಾಕಿದ್ದು ಕೊರೊನಾ ಮತ್ತು ಲಾಕ್ಡೌನ್. ಜೊತೆಗೆ ಕೊರೊನಾ ನಮಗೆ ಒಂದಿಷ್ಟು ಸಂಕಷ್ಟಗಳನ್ನೂ ಕೊಟ್ಟಿದೆ. ಈ ಚಿತ್ರದ ಸಂಭಾಷಣೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಜೊತೆಗಿದ್ದ ಗುರು ಕಶ್ಯಪ್ ಮತ್ತು 20 ವರ್ಷದಿಂದ ನನಗೆ ಮೇಕಪ್ ಮ್ಯಾನ್ ಆಗಿದ್ದ ಸೂರಿ ಬಾಬು ಇಬ್ಬರನ್ನೂ ಇದೇ ಟೈಮ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಕಳೆದುಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದೇನೆ ಎನ್ನುವ ರಮೇಶ್, ಈ ಚಿತ್ರ ಖಂಡಿತಾ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಬ್ಬರಿಗೂ ಕನೆಕ್ಟ್ ಆಗುತ್ತೆ ಮತ್ತು ಇಷ್ಟವಾಗುತ್ತೆ ಎನ್ನುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಅವರ ಕಾನ್ಫಿಡೆನ್ಸ್ ಗೆಲ್ಲಲಿ.
