Ekka film evaluate: Yuva Rajkumar offers his all to a script that doesnt reward his effort

Muthu’s mom (Shruthi) at all times reminds his son that he has a baby and an animal inside him; that is the movie’s second downside. Everybody retains repeating the apparent. The protagonist doesn’t miss an opportunity to precise his want to return to his hometown for a peaceable sleep.

An eccentric cop arrives to wash the town of lawbreakers, and that is Ekka’s third problem. It forgets {that a} maverick cop has a pointy mind other than his peculiar strategy to curbing crime.

In Rohit Padaki’s third directorial, each main character will get launched with a promise, solely to fizzle away with out depth. Ekka is relatable in some locations, like when Muthu is shocked to see exorbitant charges at a elaborate restaurant or when a bar dancer confronts males who cross demeaning feedback. Muthu feels real when he says he got here to Bengaluru seeking somebody, however is now looking for his true self.

Apart from these few promising moments, Ekka narrates a clichéd story. In dire want to save lots of his home, Muthu arrives in Bengaluru to become profitable. A watchable first half is constructed on Muthu’s courting of his neighbour Nandhini (Sanjana Anand), and his endearing bond with just a little woman Pammi, who calls him Superman. Muthu’s kindness might develop into his greatest downside, warns a personality, and it seems to be true.

The screenplay retains going round in circles, promising a shock at each flip however settling for low-hanging fruit. Themes of betrayal, vengeance, and transformation are handled superficially, with the antagonists nowhere near being convincing. Atul Kulkarni, who performs a compassionate don, is watchable as at all times, however you count on these actors to be put in additional complicated characters. Poornachandra Mysore, to an extent, stands out by exuding some power into his caricaturish function of a loyal henchman.

The ever-dependable Charan Raj is the much-needed soul to the movie together with his number of background scores that not solely do justice to the gangster style but in addition go well with the tonal shifts of the character’s journey. Apart from complementing the slickly shot motion scenes, Satya Hegde’s cinematography makes you are feeling like you might be proper in the course of a number of chase sequences.

Yuva’s subsequent is with Suri, who’s a grasp at reinventing the crime style. Ekka has a robust hangover of a Suri movie, however falls quick in matching the filmmaker’s management over telling a gripping gangster drama, like we witnessed in Jackie (2010)starring Puneeth Rajkumar.
