While coming out of the movie-hall, I thought that the exit staircase could have been designed better, as there could be a stampede someday! Maybe they needed to have designed it Vaastu Prakaara. :-)
But seriously, the storyline was pretty basic and not very convincing. Vaastu Prakaara - the title of Yogaraj Bhat's latest offering had so much potential and promise.
For Kannada film-lovers, it's a feel-good family entertainer, and worth a watch - compared to the average Kannada release. The film deals with superstition and beliefs in our society, and how life gets complicated with such things. There is considerable amount of humour throughout the movie, thanks to Jaggesh - who seems have a jolly good time with his act - and Parul Yadav's funny Kannada speaking (s)kills. Personally, this was my first Yogaraj Bhat movie experience, and I'm pretty sure that he has made better movies in the past.
I felt that Jaggesh alone could have carried the film on his shoulders. However, keeping the audiences' likeability and the youth in mind, the director possibly added the second pair of the Shettys, who were not very convincing as far as the acting abilities were concerned.
There is one song by Sonu Nigam, Besara Kaatara, which I thoroughly enjoyed. In fact, you can say that I'm hooked on to it right now. Biddalle is also a good number.
Jaggesh walks away with the chunk of the cake, with some hilarious one-liners that he delivers effortlessly, playing a convincing mama (uncle) to Rakshit's character. Parul Yadav was immensely likeable in her character and has actually done a very good job.
Sudharani and Ananth Nag were natural and likeable in their roles.
T N Seetharam is possibly the best performer in the movie, and looks very convincing as the vaastu specialist (and) father, whose son drives him nuts for the most part.
The second-half gets stereotypical and slower, and this is where the director could have added either more characters or a better storyline, taking a hint or two from another recent social drama, PK; just saying...!
The Shettys need to register at their nearest acting school, if they plan to stick around for long in the acting department. Rakshit Shetty, who had a heavy-weight outing both in front and behind the camera, with Ulidavaru Kandanthe, is possibly more suited for raw-roles and direction at the moment. Looking forward to more from him, with Ricky, possibly his next release, and I hope he doesn't disappoint.
Aishani Shetty's character had so much potential to emote more and express her angst at her parents' ongoing divorce proceedings' harakiri.
I hope the movie does well atleast for Jaggesh and Yogaraj Bhat.
