    Movie was good and the storyline

    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.

    Great lesson about beauty but slow paced

    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.

    Simple and very entertaining

    Been waiting for this movie for a while now (especially after watching the trailer) and it did not disappoint to say the least. Was a very well written script and execution was even better. Very simple story line about a simple man and his problem but the message was brought out in a very significant way. Entire movie was entertaining and had that small pinch of emotion and feelings exactly when it was required. Hope to see this great young unit make more movies in the future. It has been great in the recent times to see these new filmmakers with fresh ideas which has set up a very exciting platform for the future of the Kannada film industry.

    Feel good movie!!

    A very simple movie narrating the bride hunt of a bald protagonist. Though the climax is predictable and cinematic, the narration doesn't lack pace and keeps you engaging and entertained. The casting was perfect and Raj B Shetty fits 'T' to this role.

    Nicely made movie

    Very nice made, but for that content, it should have been little shorter, or should have little more content. overall, we enjoyed. Family movie, good amount of comedy, drama is there.

    It has depicted the emotions very well and connects to the audience. It's slow moving, sometimes audience may feel little bored.
