About the movie

• The movie is the Kannada remake of the Telugu hit Dookudu starring Mahesh Babu in the lead role
• Puneeth Rajkumar plays the role of a cop in this movie.
• Tamil actor Shivaji Prabhu reprises the role of Prakash Raj in the original movie
• Trisha Krishnan makes her Sandalwood debut with this movie
• The movie is an action-comedy which also has drama
• The movie revolves around the life of a tough cop out to end mafia. However, he turns a fake politician to please his father who has just recovered from coma following his murder attempt by his detractors. What follows is a series of comedy scenes and sentiments.

Puneeth is at his best playing the role of a cop. Trisha couldn't have had a better debut. She reminds us of her Athadu days with Mahesh Babu. Songs are already a superhit. Some changes have been made in the script to make it more suitable to the Kannada audience. It's Puneeth all the way.

Rating: 3.5/5
