Laughing Buddha

Police constable Govardhan has an happy life, both personal and professional. He is kind hearted and it shows in his work as well. After a get together event arranged at their police station, Govardhan's life falls apart when a strict senior officer visits their station and berates Govardhan for being overweight. Humiliated, Govardhan tries to reduce his weight through various means before settling with Naturopathy. In the meantime, local minister approaches the police for losing 50lacs to a fraud and wants it to be handled unofficially. When the suspect gets hurt on his head causing retrograde amnesia, his superior calls Govardhan back to help him out of this mess. How does Govardhan protect suspect and also solve the case, forms rest of the story.

It's a novel script driven by the kind hearted Govardhan's character. It does start off on a decent note, introducing all the main characters and establishing Govardhan's character primarily. All the fun is lighthearted till the senior officer humiliating Govardhan. Post this, the obvious humor set up where Govardhan tries hard to lose his weight follows. Once the plot involving the injured suspect in the minister's case gets going, the film loses it's team. The case in itself isn't that intriguing and the way it gets solved was all too convenient. The film dragged on post interval due to this and only a couple of comedy scenes did work solely due to Pramod's comic timing.

Overall it's a very beautifully designed movie. Family audience will definitely enjoy this movie. No vulgarity at all... You feel like it is happening in your family... Diganth acting came out very well, The twist in the end of the story will be never expected and will be filled with fun.

Samsarada koopa , preeti cuteness tumbaa channagide. Pramod Shetty sir's eating style and his acting and comedy is next level . Pramod shetty just nailed it.

Another Rishab sheety production movie which was much much essential for kannada industry. It's a simple movie which shall make you smile throughout the movie ryt from the way it starts to the way it ends. These kind of movies are rare these days. A movie anyone can watch, the simple humour is the key takeaway of the movie. And pramodh Shetty acting took it up a notch, he nailed his performance in this one, the background score the songs everything was good and enjoyable, it's a one time watch with family & kids.

The only con about the movie was that it was not quite special and the wow factor was missing but nevertheless it's a nice movie.

This film is a refreshing addition to Kannada cinema, proving that even low-budget movies can have a strong impact-something often seen in Malayalam films. The narration is well-executed, keeping the audience engaged for the most part. While a few scenes might feel slightly distracting, the story quickly regains its grip, pulling the viewer back into its world.

The performances are commendable, and the technical aspects, including cinematography and background score, are well-crafted. However, the film stumbles in its climax. While some might find it convincing, I personally felt it was a letdown. I expected a more fitting resolution, but the final moments felt both illogical and impractical.

With a tighter screenplay and a more satisfying conclusion, this film could have garnered even greater appreciation and reach. Despite its flaws, it's still a decent watch and a commendable effort in Kannada cinema.

Heartfelt comedy with a simple yet creative story plot, wholesome script, wholesome screen play, wholesome acting, wholesome entertainment. Laughter throughout the movie. Creativity at its peak. Highlights the making of the film through pure talent, skill, and creativity, without relying on advanced technology or sophisticated graphics.

Screen play runs in two layers back to back comedy scenes on the run and curiosity building detective story in the background to get a conclusion on a high note with a theme that is most relevant for today. Always been an observant of the topic of overweight policemen, amazingly come out as a light hearted comedy movie with Pramod Shetty in the lead. Kudos to Actor Digant for his amazing performance as well.

A must watch kannada movie of current days. Congratulations to the whole team.
