That's what the film is about: Shivarajkumar walking in slow motion, holding a machete and swinging it around criminals who can't even touch him even if they are holding machine guns. This is where the Kannada film industry has fallen. Every other film is about machete or gun violence. But the story is the same. If not this, then it's blind romance with cringe dialogues.

The screenplay of the movie is yuck. The acting too. The actress is a waste. She has absolutely nothing to do in the film. Her character doesn't help the script at all. Someone wrote this film will be Shivanna's career best. LOL. Has these lockdown kids even watched Shivarajkumar films of the 90's and beyond? None of the villains have any strength. They are not scary, they haven't hurt the 'hero', the same Tamil style where poor people are killed and the hero rises to the occasion and easily kills every bad person. I really feel sad on watching Shivarajkumar signing such pathetic scripts. Why would you do so?

How out Kannada film industry was shining in the 60's and 70's with directors like Girish Kasarvalli, Girish Karnad being as good as (if not better than) Satyajit Ray and Ritwik Ghatak. The likes of Puttanna Kangal, Nagabharana, Shankar Nag brought the industry to such a point, that it's hard to believe that we have fallen into the gutters.

Every few minutes for no reason there is loud sounds. Even 2 characters looking at each other has a sudden loud sound unnecessarily. One of them wakes up from his sleep and suddenly a loud BG sound for no reason. In short pathetic background music.

The songs are actually bad. The promotions and SRK-Malaika combination is what made people look up but the songs including "Kaal Kaal pe hum tum" is yuck. The choreography too is meh.

Horrible casting and overacting by Vivek & Ajay. Having Ajay in a Karan-SRK production was probably to appease Kajol and nothing else. Lara Dutta couldn't have acted worse. Even Esha Deol was better than Lara. The supporting cast were good though.

For a second I thought this was directed by Sohum Shah (of Thumbbad fame) but this is directed by Soham Shah. His other films were Luck. He got a platform more than once and he took it lightly. This film had bad writing, bad acting and bad direction. There were unnecessary shots of animals. I had forgotten about the film, so checked it out again. Never again. Such a pathetic film that only a foreign bred NRI Karan Johar could make. The dialogue by Lara Dutta on Mrthunjaya Japa made me instantly realize this is a Karan Johar film and not a Soham Shah film.

Just because this is made for kids doesn't mean they have to make it like a slapstick comedy. They could have made it serious and yet funny with morals if made for kids. If not made for kids why make it in such a shameless way.

In all episodes except two episodes Emperor Krishnadevaraya is shown as a coward. Only in one episode he keeps fighting with sword and in another he wins in kushti. Is this what we want our kids to learn that Krishnadevaraya was a coward? People don't see this until their kids watch this and learn all the fake history. Since when is Vijayanagara empire or Krishnadevaraya's court dealing only in Telugu? As per history there were use of Sanskrit and Kannada too. Mention it too. Shame. It is evident that this is made to demean the history of Vijayanagara very cunningly. Look at the directors of each episodes and you will know I am right. The voices too and pathetic. This is a good time pass for adults. Don't ever show this to kids.
