Loved the direction, dialogue and acting of Prakash Rai. The new faces too have done their best in acting. The movie is different by presenting about the pleasure of being a foodie. It also says - no age bar for romance and lives out a strong message as "you are what you are and love yourself" ! Prakash Rai should have changed his laughing style to suit for his positive role since it brings his "villian" image out to the audience. It also gives a beautiful touch of Hubli Kannada. Humor keeps following all the way. The first half keeps you glued to the screen. The second half looks bit eased off.
Music by the maestro Ilayaraja is just awesome. The background tracks are crafted very well and beautifully holds its grip, supporting the presentation very well. Ilayaraja's music for Kannada movies always takes its own classic level as usual! It is a pleasure listening to every bit of it. The lyrics are kept simple but beautifully written.
The parallel story of Adivasi seemed to be unnecessarily brought in.
