Hulidurga is a film set in a village, where protagonist Vishnu, an orphan, is brought up by a the manager of a small tent film screening hall. Vishnu grows up watching the films screened there, which also become inspiration for the way he leads his life.
When Vishnu falls in love with a college-goer Ashwini, everything seems to fall in place in his life. His happiness, though, is short-lived, as he gets into an altercation with an aspiring politico over a trivial issue. In the aftermath of this fight, Vishnu's beloved, Ashwini, goes missing, throwing his life into disarray.
Hulidurga, which has a conventional love story and predictable plot, doesn't create any interest. The age-old love story is not even presented with a fresh approach and the narrative fails to impress. This one is a truly tedious watch. If you enjoy watching love stories of the 80s, Hulidurga might interest you.
