Dev S/O Muddegowda

Story: Director Indrajith Lankesh has selected a simple family story of a conflict between father and son in which the son fulfils his desire of becoming an actor despite opposition from the father.

Movie Review: A good show by director Indrajith Lankesh. He has done good work of a melodramatic story of a father who is against his son aspiring to become an actor and how the young son struggles to achieve his goal. With neat script and narration, Indrajith tries to send a message that whatever the differences, the father-son bond can’t be easily broken.

The story revolves around Dev (Diganth), son of Muddegowda, a businessman who came up in life the hard way. He opposes his son’s ambition to become an actor as he feels that it may not bring him to the limelight. An angry Dev walks out of the house and takes shelter in the home of Kavya (Charmie), who is aspiring to become a director. In her company, Dev learns the art of acting and how difficult it is to achieve his goal. Ultimately, he becomes a star and wins appreciation from his father also.

While Diganth is at his best, Charmie charms you with her expressions and dialogue delivery. Sharan shines too. While Santhosh Pataje’s cinematography is impressive, music director Jessie Gift has given a couple of foot-tapping numbers.
