TN Seetaram Puttanna Kanagal aaga bahuda

People have been comparing TN Seetaram with Puttanna Kanagal in the last few days, especially after the release of Meera Madhava Raghava (MMR for short). And there has been lot of expectation on MMR. It has been doing well in the box office too. Out of curioscity to witness the work of the new age Puttanna Kanagal, I wanted to see this movie. It took me a couple of weeks to go and watch the movie. It was running house full even in PVR for more than 2-3 weeks.After watching the movie, yes I watched the entire movie, not because I had paid 110 Rs. but I was curious about the climax. The climax has been very well captured. Kudos to the actors as well as the director. But after watching the entire movie, I felt TNS was present for shooting only the climax and the rest of the movie was shot by his assistants.

There are so many loosely coined scenes almost throught the movie that would irritate the audiance often. Some of the points that can be noticed easily are,

1. Such a closely knit family of both Meera and Madhava in the first half, suddenly gets isolated from them as soon as Madhava becomes a DC. A person who has managed to get through the IAS exam, fails to talk to his family memebers once he comes back about Meera's house being sold or not. This one point alone makes the story an impossibility. Let us assume that he was so busy with his administrative works that he doesn't notice it and the story goes on.

2. At many places there are dialogues that say that "Madhava has built reputation all along" , I think the director fails to remember that he was on his first posting as the DC of Hemagiri. If the argument is that he had developed the reputation during his trainings, that seldom known to people and politicians.

3. Madhava's cast Diganth, seems to be over shadowed by Ramya's star image. It is clearly evident that Diganth was uncomfortable in acting against Ramya. The director has not put any effort to make him fee comfortable with her.

4. Though it was good on part of the director that he has brought in many of the small screen artists to the big screen, at least for once, really gave a feeling of watching a serial on Television.There can be many such things listed out here, but that is not the intent here, but still I wonder, how such mistakes manage to get through, even after reviewing it so many times.

Anyways, comaparing TNS with Puttanna Kanagal, no way at least at least not now. Puttanna Kanagal has given this industry many wonderful actors and many many movies that people have really enjoyed for years and still enjoy.

If I get a chance, I still sit back and watch Manasa Sarovara again and again, will I watch MMR again, even if some one buys me a ticket to PVR, no way.Long way to go Mr. TNS. And people, please leave him to himself and he may prove to be better than Puttanna Kanagal in the years to come, instead of spoiling him with false praises. Mr. TNS don't listen to these people, just look back at MMR and review it yourself agian and again and again, before you take up another one
