Nagara Haavu

A whole story revolves around a precious and holy relationship between a dedicated teacher and his student who is very revolting, aggressive and hyper egoistical. The student never goes against his teachers words and thus the story goes on.

This is a masterpiece from Puttanna Kanagal. This movie has excelled in all departments Direction, Acting, Songs and we can forget 'Baare Baare..' which was shot entirely in slow-motion for the first time in the Indian film industry.

I like the way he weaves his characters along with highlighting the social issues. I think he always did this in all his films, it may be Sharapanjara, Gejje Pooje, Manasa Sarovara, Ranganayaki ..., the list goes on.

This Film has gifted us Vishnu and Ambi and yes it added on more diamond to Jayanthi's acting crown.

A beautifully made movie. Very strong characters involved as is common in Puttanna Kanagal's movies. My favourite part is how beautifully the relationship between student (Ramachari) and teacher (Chamaiah Maestru) is depicted in the movie.

How badly i wish we had more movies from Puttanna Kanagal.

Best acting by Vishnu sir, Ambi Sir and all. Excellent direction by Puttanna Kanagal.

Story of an arrogant young student who falls in love with his friend's sister and the story ensues, portraying the issues that played a major role in the society like caste-ism, a take on human trafficking and such issues...the script and the dialogs are very gripping and powerful...!!And the actors have performed exceptionally well, which is needless to say, this being a Puttanna Kanagal movie!! And this is the first Kannada movie to use a slow motion camera. The Songs in the movie are well presented and arguably inspirational!!

Overall, I think it safe to say that it's a master-piece...they don't make movies like these anymore!!! Old School is the best school and Puttana Kanagal is the headmaster of that school!!
