Kaage Motte

Plot: Pilla, Govi and Krishna, three youngsters from Kunigal, come to Bengaluru to kill the mafia king Ramachandra and take over the underwold. Will they be able to realise their ambitious dreams?

Review: Tales of ambition, schemes, betrayal and romance set against the underworld in Bengaluru have been many and they always find some audience. Kaage Motte is another such tale that tries to showcases the lure that the power of underworld has to youngsters and how their lives can get affected because of that.

The story begins with a new police officer being told of three ambitious and dangerous criminals Pilla, Govi and Krishna who wanted to reign over Bengaluru's underworld by wanting to kill the don Ramachandra. Through their journey, they discover allies, foes, love and heartbreak as they quickly succeed in making a good headway in the underworld. Whether they realise their dreams or fall prey to the blackhole that underworld is forms the rest of the story.

The story is relatively fast paced and just about two hours in length. But the narrative quickly shifts from one scene to another and often this seems rather jagged. There are some moments that can evoke sympathy, while a couple do evoke cringe too. Overall, it does have scenes that would appeal to the average front bencher in a single screen.

The performances from the cast are earnest and Gururaj Jaggesh stands out and his effort is shown. Sharath Lohithashwa is seen in yet another menacing role that he excels in like always. Kaage Motte is your typical underworld tale with the staple fights, love story and schemes. Watch it if you like the genre.
