This movie was way ahead of its time like many other movies during the same period. I am still surprised to know many people who speak the language haven't watched this movie. This is a must match movie for all age groups with everyone involved with the movie being at their best to gift a proper gem to the Kannada cinema industry. Credit should also goto the novelist Triveni as well, who influenced Kanagal to a great extent in his early days. Go watch this movie as this one is a must watch at least before you die.
