Samayadha Gombe based on a Kannnada Novel, is one of the finest films of the legendary Dr Raj Kumar. It is a clean Family drama, with a simple storyline & presentation & hence can be viewed by the whole family,like all other Dr Raj Kumar Films.
The story is basically about human relation ships. A little boy hurts his sister & runs away from home, fearing his father's wrath. He is adopted by a middle class truck driver, & grows up to become a truck driver himself, & is named Guru Murthy. He supports his foster parents , & in trying to arrange money for his sister's wedding, he is implicated in a false case & sent to Jail. On coming out of Jail, he finds his Father is dead, & becomes the head of the family. He finds a Job as a car Driver with an Air Force officer Vinod Kumar, who actually happens to be his Brother In law. He also meets his long lost Sister, & both develop some attachment for each other. Here also, he saves his sister's Kid from a kidnapper, & becomes closer to the family.He comes to know that his real Mother is on her death bed in Delhi.Vinod Kumar & his wife leave for Delhi. Un known to them, Guru also follows them, & is able to see his mother before she dies. Quietly, he returns.Vinod Kumar gets himself transferred to Delhi so that he can take care of his late Mother in law's property.He & his wife bid a tearful farewell to Guru. Till the end, Guru is unable to disclose his true identity to his Sister & Brother In law. he tells his girl Friend" I could not support them when they needed me, now with what face can I tell them the truth ". The film ends there. Truly a fine film, with a touching story line, presented brilliantly by the Master director duo, Dorai-Bhagawan. It projects Human relation ships very well, & focuses on issues like dowry, child kidnapping, sexual exploitation of women, the problems faced by Middle class families etc. Performance wise,Nata Saarva Bhauma Dr Raj Kumar is out standing & effortless as usual. Truly this is a role where he is required to display his acting skills in ALL the Nava Rasas, & he gets full marks. The two heroines Rupa Devi & Menaka do justice to their roles. Shakthi Prasad, Kanchana, Musuri Krishna Murthy & Toogu deepa Srinivas are adequate. A major high light of the Movie is PranayaRaja Dr Srinath as Squadron Leader Vinod Kumar.The popular Raj Kumar- Srinath combination again clicks here. Srinath is the second leading man of the film,& he delivers another brilliant performance. Really, we kannadigas are lucky that we have such fine Actors like Dr Raj & Srinath amidst us. May their tribe increase. Two observations about the movie, a few comedy scenes involving the Heroine could have been avoided, & Srinath should have been given a song. Other wise, a fine movie. If You have not yet seen it, go get a VCD or DVD today. If you don't, You will be missing a Master piece. The immensely popular song" Kogile Haadidhe kelideya" in the voices of Dr Rajkumar & the legendary S.Janaki will linger in your ears long after the Movie ends. Other songs are OK. One more notable number is the Title Track " Chinnadha Gombe Alla" in the Golden Voice of Dr Raj. A simple family drama which is thought provoking. The characters are so closer to real life, that the viewers will be able to relate themselves with most characters, especially Dr Raj & Shakti Prasad's characters. A real treat for the whole Family, especially those who are Fans of Rajkumar & Srinath.
