80s back drop simple love story under 2 hours.
polams30 December 2022
This movie is not an Action oriented but a simple love story which has bit of jail escape plot and some fight scenes.

First half starts slow but Interval card saves by the time we feel it. Second Half is better and has good emotional scenes and in the end climax message is good, your eyes can become wet.

Daali Dhananjaya ( Kittu alias Hiroshima) shows versatility in emotional scenes and in his stuttering dialog delivery and Aditi Prabhudeva (Rukmini) is good as well. Yash Shetty in Nagasaki role did justice to his character. Songs composing and picturization are good.

Watch the movie without comparing, with recent blockbuster movies.

Gave 7 because I felt its 6+ movie.

Do not fall for the fake reviews, this movie is terrible.
AdithyaRKashyap22 March 2023
"Once Upon a Time in Jamaaligudda" is a movie that starts off with a lot of promise, but unfortunately, it fails to deliver. Throughout the runtime, the movie is consistently bad, making it a difficult watch for anyone.

The acting in the film is decent, but it is let down by the poor script and dialogue. The characters lack depth and the lines they deliver are unconvincing. As a result, the actors' performances are wasted, and they fail to make an impact on the audience.

The music in the movie is equally bad, failing to create the right mood or elevate the scenes. It lacks any kind of memorable tunes and fails to enhance the story in any way. As a viewer, I found it hard to connect with the characters or the plot due to the lackluster soundtrack.

The naming of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is an unnecessary addition to the movie. It is insensitive to use the names of two cities that were destroyed by atomic bombs in a movie without any relevance to the plot. It adds nothing to the story and only serves to offend people who have a connection to those cities.

Additionally, the fake stammer given to the hero is an overused trope in movies, and it is surprising to see it still being used in 2023. It is a lazy way of creating sympathy for the character and adds nothing to the story or the portrayal of the character.

Overall, "Once Upon a Time in Jamaaligudda" is a bad movie that should be avoided. The poor script, unconvincing dialogue, and bad music make it a difficult watch. While the acting is decent, it is not enough to save the movie. The use of insensitive names and overused tropes further adds to the problems in the film. As a viewer, I would recommend giving this movie a miss and watching something else instead.

In conclusion, while there may be some redeeming qualities to "Once Upon a Time in Jamaaligudda," the negatives outweigh the positives. As a movie-goer, I expect more from a film, and unfortunately, this movie falls short.

A much needed feel good movie
gaganjiopostpaid30 December 2022
I am a movie buff, watches almost all languages , in this week there was so many violence movie , which was great , but not great timing , the people who only want violence and thriller , for those it is ok.

And some are still trying to do old recipes 😔

But surprisingly I got something fresh and interesting ,

Dhananjay always act great , but sometimes script selection is wrong like bairagee.

Bgm still roaming in my mind , man anoop seelin has something magic , he has best experience to create bgm .

Kushal gowda has created something great , you might feel it , he has tried to balance some fights and feel good , which worked for me ,

For great music and acting experience watch on theater

If only for story watch it on ott.

There once was a bland tale which didn't required to be told.
chand-suhas27 May 2023
Once upon a time in Jamaligudda, existed a guy who got famous as Hiroshima along with his cellmate who was named Nagasaki by the police. As they escape from the prison, stealing a car, they find a disabled girl in it and how Hiroshima gets to become her friend over the next few days on their short trip leaving lasting memories forms the story. Ofcourse, the director resorts to non-linear narrative.

The problem with the characters introduced here is that they largely remain superficial. The emotions are terribly forced and the slow narrative to the obvious outcome simply tests one's patience. You can literally count the number of "good" characters surrounded by simply "bad" ones. The cinematography is good but apart from that the screenplay offers very little for the actors to elevate those scenes.

The love story between Krishna and Rukmini is simply pedestrian, sticking to the predictability. The supposed friendship between Hiroshima and Nagasaki is half baked. The friendship between Hiroshima and Chukki too is barely established considering there is lot of violence the girl has to witness in order to trust Hiroshima. Even if it is the Stockholm syndrome, the film simply doesn't try to offer any meaningful justification.

A feel good story #Once upon a time in Jamaligudda
vishnutejakatam2 January 2023
The movie, Once Upon A Time In Jamaligudda (2022), not only serves as an item of good entertainment, but also good love story between hiroshima and rukku in the 1990s backdrop, the life issues of rukku, and how he choose his life for their family that how they explained in the movie was very good. The movie centers around the life of the kid chukki and that takes the movie to next step: hiroshima who's name krishna and nagasaki who met in jail and how they escaped from that jail and and finally how they met chukki that takes the movie next level, This film served as great entertainment with its colorful cast and numerous plot twists. Producer Hari used actors that had either appeared in previous famous tollywood films and all of them shown in their respective roles. Baground score next level>>>and the songs was feel good. Daali Dhananjaya ( Kittu alias Hiroshima) shows versatility in emotional scenes and in his stuttering dialogu delivery and Aditi Prabhudeva (Rukmini) is good as well. Yash Shetty in Nagasaki role did justice to his character. Songs composing and picturization are good.

Awesome movie
katamsudharshanreddy30 December 2022
Dali dhanunjaya brings yet another adrenaline-filled, inspired movie to the big screen. We see all sorts of familiar faces this time around, but the audience is introduced to a few new characters as well.

This film served as great entertainment with its colorful cast and numerous plot twists. Producer Hari used actors that had either appeared in previous famous tollywood films and all of them shone in their respective roles.

The one actor that gave this reviewer pause was Dhanunjay as Hiroshima. It was a shock to watch her 'Aditi Prabhudeva' steal and fight her way throughout the film. However, we were convinced that the casting decisions was a good one.

True to Kushal Gowda's style, at 2 hours, this film is fairly long. There were a few times when the movie felt a bit drawn out, but the gorgeous action scenes and impressive dialogue really held the audience's attention and kept them on the edge of their seats. For a number of scenes, it was hard to tell whether it had been days or months or years that had passed since the last time a given character had been on screen.

Despite the films minor shortcomings, The Dark Knight Rises is exciting, creative, and dark-and well worth a few hours of your time.
