The Villain

This movie is a fine example of how to waste money, manpower and time. There is absolutely no meaning in the script which is paired with poor dialogues, choppy video game like VFX and bad music. Kichha Sudeepa and Shivanna have excelled in their roles but that doesn't help in reviving this almost dead movie to life! The female lead played by Amy Jackson fails terribly, whether it is in acting or even lip syncing the Kannada dialogues. Her role is like watching an English movie character dubbing in Kannada! Another major flaw is the use of Indian English when the British characters speak in the movie. All these things will irritate you all the time. Finally the mother sentiment comes from nowhere and will start dragging the movie till the end with a very annoying climax. All in all this is a big flop show with an absurd script!

I really don't know what was the director thinking, I mean don't you play it in your head before you go on to shoot it. Worst movie ever. Sudeep carries it a bit during the 1st half, Amy Jackson is the 2nd best actor in the movie, you know what I mean.

There is no best part in the movie.. Espect two song,, Janya's score,, somehow sudeep style impress,, Then other part poor graphics, Three fourths of the way through the movie I was throwing things at the screen and scrambling to leave the theater. The slow pacing, the poor lighting, the dragging, repetitive plot and the long running time made me want to punch someone. We get it. He dies. It's un-necessary. Who cares? He's boring. Now get me the hell out of here. I couldn't get out of that miserable movie fast enough... Prem gone director

Nothing in the movie other than show offs Graphics in chota bheem was far better than this movie Dinosuar entry was lit Prems direction didn't work Lets hope something good in prems haar Jana hero movie

If you're a Kiccha or Shivanna fan, you may watch this one time.

The story has too many loopholes and just doesn't make sense or give an intelligent viewer any satisfaction. The trailer showed great potential, but the story fell apart and ends with Prem's signature 'taayi-sentiment' which is an already over-used story line. The saving grace is Sudeep's and Shivanna's phenomenal acting skills. The casting is horrible, because the character of the mother seemed more like that of an elder sister to Sudeep and Shivanna looks like the elder brother of the lady in question. The acting skills of Mithun Chakraborthy went to a complete waste. The female lead, Amy Jackson, is easy on the eyes, but her role had very little substance, if any. It felt like the character was added as a token, to show a female in the mix, only to add some romance for the sake of it. The story line could have easily been changed to remove the character altogether, without making much of a dent in the end product. Continuity in action, clothing, hair and makeup was messed up in several places.

The music wasn't Janya's best, but wasn't bad either: a couple of songs are catchy, but the rest can easily be forgotten as one leaves the theatre. Nothing amazingly different or refreshingly new. It was one more typical, elegant Arjun Janya project.

When the story line is weak, and it solely relies on the stars to carry it forward, 'The Villian' is exactly what you get.
