Head Bush

Movie may be good or bad. Hero of the Movie, Dhananjaya is not at all a good person. He keeps on hurting Hindu Sentiments. He doesn't know how to respect people and this country. I will never watch his movies even if he makes oscar winning ones, I don't want to support such hate spreading personalities. What you give to society matters alot.

I will never watch any of his movies in theatre. What he give is what he gets back, which is hate.

I never suggest his movies to anyone, anytime, anywhere.

Better watch KANTARA movie which is very nice which is running in all the theatres now. First become human being dhananjaya.

Agni Sridhar's book/story based Chaitanya's Aa Dinagalu and Sumana's Edegaarike were both extremely well written, directed, and acted. I was expecting something better or at least, equally good from Headbush since it's the genesis story- the birth of a very complex, grey, and bloody underworld in Bangalore. But I was greatly disappointed as Headbush felt like a run-of-the-mill, plebeian underworld movie.

Throughout the movie I could see the poor direction everywhere. Be it the flow of the story, the way the scenes are cut, dialogues, the way the characters act, the way they speak, they behave, their decisions, the protagonist's 'star' moments, the very obvious foreshadowing of a deception, the politicians' mannerisms, etc. Everything was naive and amateurish. The story of Urs, his attempts at solving caste/class struggle, Indira Brigade, the birth of Jayaraj... are all quite complex and nuanced. But in the hands of the current director, they look silly and blunt.

And that's just about the underworld of 70s and 80s. In addition, Agni Sridhar's interpretations should be presented with elegance, intelligence, poetry, and a touch of philosophy. That's what set his two previous movies apart from every gangster movie made in India. In Headbush, let alone the characters from or "caught" in the underworld, even the politicians at the top sound and look like cheap caricatures of an 80s cheesy cop movie. I hope Sridhar brings back someone like Chaitanya or Sumana Kittur for his next story and let go of the part-2 of Headbush.

Exposing the underbelly of Bengaluru, it has political elements of betrayal, friendship, and love written from various perspectives. But, unfortunately, it turns out to glorify Dhananjaya as Jayaraj, and several other characters remain as caricatures without flesh and blood. While the film fails to transport the audience to the '70s Bengaluru - the blame of which should go to the director, art director, and cinematographer - it is important to remember that this is only the first of two parts. If they right their wrongs from this film, Head Bush 2 might turn out to be as good as an Aa Dinagalu.

Basically this movie is an epic story of banglore underworld from 1974 ...Jayaraj acting is awesome , very natural and raw acting .. Guys Must watch the movie another master piece from KFI... Experience the 70 retro gangsters era, 70s Theme, bikes, buildings, cars material human lifestyle everything is 70 era .

Lighting is good , good camera work Samson and Ganga acting is awesome .. Pros: Good direction , good acting , good cinematography. Very natural acting , i felt like i was watching real story in-front of me...... Don't miss this master piece guys Short love story also there.. Cons : little dragged in between.... Overall its a good movie , Little improvements required here and there.

Waiting for the second part , I hope this sequel comes good.

Movie is good enough to be watched in theater. There were couple of reviews which made have low expectation in watching the movie. But, the movie is good enough.

There might be part 2 of this movie. The movie shows plots of the Chief Minister of 1970s Devaraj Urs and Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Movie also shows some of the details of how inefficient administration back in those days made way for uprise of M. P. Jayaraj, a don of Bangalore. The names in the movie have been deferred to keep the identity of real rowdies and politicians undisclosed.

It's a good movie to watch with friends, and you can expect some good action and offensive language through out the movie, which would probably be censored on post theatrical release.
