Darling

Santhu has provided the romantic story on a different platter with some drama, turns and twists. Though the story is not so strong, Santhu, with a good script, has made it interesting with some curious turns and lively moments.

Sathya (Yogish), a tatoo artist, falls in love with Poorni (Mukhtha), sister of Bhavani (Neenasam Ashwath), a don. Sathya seeks the help of Gubbi (Adi Lokesh), another don, as Bhavani does not approve of the affair. Gubbi and Bhavani are rivals. When Gubbi sees Poorni, he is impressed by her beauty and falls for her. Gubbi and Bhavani unite at the instance of local MLA (Rajendra Karanth). Bhavani seeks Gubbi’s help to separate Sathya and Poorni. He also tells Gubbi that he is ready to celebrate his wedding with Poorni. But Gubbi has a challenge. He has to win Poorni’s heart. What follows is whole lot of drama and some action.

Yogish is lively and bubbly. Mukhtha wins your heart with here smile and expressions. Neenasam Ashwath, Rajendra Karanth and Adi Lokesh have done well. There is nothing new in the music by Arjun Janya. Manjunath Naik has done a wonderful job as cinematographer.
