Ondu Motteya Kathe

There is something about films made by debut directors who are skilled - they are mostly worth watching . Maybe it's the fact that the director thinks it might his/her only shot and hence strives to create something superior it might also be the fact that they are more raw and not after capturing the market they had with their initial success. Ulidavru kandanthe, Munnabhai and Death in the Goonj are few movies that come to mind of debut directors that fit this template . Whatever it is OMK lives up to that promise. Like Ulidavru here the lead is also the director which seems to make they go all in to deliver something spectacular.

I had watched the movie a few years back when it released and watched it again when Raj Shetty's new trailer brought back memories of OMK. The movie takes a great script about the challenges of a bald India man to find a bride in a small town of Mangalore and through some terrific acting and screenplay creates some memorable sequences.

There are many high points in the movie - the comedy scenes in the first half where the college peon stands out , the understated but brilliant acting by the entire cast , the references to Rajkumar timed perfectly and definitely the authenticity with which Mangalore (my hometown ) is shown. Though there a couple of low points like the episode with the girl selling hair growth that seems cliched those are few and don't diminish the movie.

Overall watch the movie for going against the grain to cast a non-traditional lead but more importantly I would recommend to watch it for terrific execution of a great script making it in my opinion one of the best Kannada movies made in recent times !

This movie keeps you entertained till the very end. One of the finest movies made in Sandalwood this year! With rib tickling dialogues in truly Mangalurean style and having really emotional sequences, this movie is a treat to watch. There are a lot of references to Dr. Rajkumar in the movie, which gives you goosebumps if you're Annavru's fan. Also a simple yet a unique script, the movie is worth watching more than once!

Just a brilliant movie... I can relate to it because I am also going bald... Excellent acting and superb direction... Must watch movie... I watched this on Amazon prime thought will watch this movie for 15 to 20 minutes but ended up watching the whole movie.

Ondu motteya kathe is a very good movie showing one particular part of the society whonis facing the problema of baldness and the character sketched and highlighted in the movie named narayana. It was very good in terms of narrative, storyline, direction, acting, etc. I liked the movie and i feel it would have been better if some improvements were given. So my rating for this movie is 9 out of 10 which indicates that the movie is watchable and can be recommended to someone to watch. The movie is available in some platforms which cane be watched freely too. So finally ondu motteya kathe is a good movie especially the segments of acting by narayana and others in characters of the movie.

Had a lot of expectations from this movie since the trailer was really interesting & slick. The current trend of Kannada movies with really good story lines & good but non established actors was also playing on my mind.

The movie has a very realistic story of a simple Kannada teacher who struggles to find a bride for himself due to his ordinary looks (the bald head being the main problem).

The chemistry between the actors is really good & the 2nd half really shines. Lot of funny moments involving well placed songs of Dr Rajkumar but certain parts of the story leave you frustrated at the decisions made by the protagonist.

The pros : Good performances, music & a well conveyed lesson about what beauty really is. The cons : Very slow paced movie & the story was a bit predictable.

Worth watching once simply due to the lovely message conveyed in this movie.
