Story: This movie is for those who want to know the life of underworld dons. Gripping narration and excellent screenplay with a touch of romance make the story quite interesting. Except for a few gunshots, there is not much violence in the story that keeps you on the edge of your seat till the end. The director has woven a romantic track brilliantly which ultimately shows its strength in the climax.

Movie Review: The story revolves around Sona (Aditya), a supari killer who works under Dubai don Bhai. He has a friend Tukaram Shetty (Achyuth Kumar), who is the adviser and planner for the don. Bhai’s first word to his subordinates is always ‘Uthado’ (kill). Sona always follows his instructions and murders a number of people, including mentor Dholakia (Chi Gurudutt). But Sona’s life changes when he falls in love with Rashmi (Akanksha). He decides to give up violence and settle down in life by surrendering to police. This unnerves the don and he takes the help of Muthappanna (Dharma) to kill Sona. In Muthappanna’s gang, we have Sridhar (Atul Kulakarni) who is assigned to murder him. But Sridhar becomes close to Sona as he narrates his life story to him. Sridhar is in a dilemma now: how to kill Sona? But Sona knows Sridhar is assigned to kill him. There is a gripping end to the story.

Full marks to Aditya who has done brilliant work as Sona. Atul Kulakarni as Sridhar is simply superb. Dharma as Muthappanna is gracious. Chi Gurudutt, Achuth Kumar, Srujan Lokesh (Bachchan and Sharath Lohithshwa (Kalia) give life to their roles. Akanksha has done a neat job in her limited role in the second half. Cinematography by B Rakesh is good.
