Rambo

Story: When Sharan is the name we are talking about, scenes are bound to be comical. Rambo, a complete commercial movie, doesn’t disappoint Sharan fans. It’s 60 per cent comedy and 40 per cent sentiment coupled with action and a climax that takes a sudden turn bringing terrorism into the limelight.

Movie Review: A good show by MS Srinath who has carved an excellent role for Sharan in his 100th movie. With a neat script laced with hilarious dialogues, the director gives you a good combo of romance, sentiment, comedy, action and patriotism in the climax. While the first half has romance, the second half is full of sentiment and action with interesting turns and twists.

The focus of the story is a stolen car (KA 19RK 1988) in which a body is found in a bag. Kitty (Sharan), who has the penchant for selling cars in his own cunning way, keeps this car and changes its colour and number. He is shocked to see the body of Mercy, a girl who is killed in an accident in Pakistan. The story takes a curious turn when we come to know that terrorists use her body to send their plans through a pen drive, hidden in her left leg in a piece of rod. At the same time, we find Mangalore Annappa (Rangayana Raghu), former minister, searching the car of the same number as he had kept Rs 25 crore in the back seat. There is also a romantic touch to the story when Kitty falls in love with Ravathi (Madhuri) and their romance hitting roadblocks many times. But who is this Rambo? That’s the real hero of the movie.

Full marks to Sharan, who has excellently balanced comedy, romance and sentimental sequences. Pretty Madhuri has essayed her role well. Rangayana Raghu impresses with Mangalore Kannada. Tabala Nani has done good work in a supporting role. ‘Mungaru Male’ Krishna’s cinematography is impressive. Music by Arjun Janya has some catchy tunes, especially Jaya Jaya Jacketu.
