Holding the attention with multiple responsibilities of story, screenplay, music, lyrics, dialogues, direction and also appearing in the lead role speaks of the confidence and strength. It also highlights approach to give a new product on silver screen. Adarsh a supporting actor all these years turned hero has come out with a fairly good job in `Hushaar'.
There are gripping elements and nail biting situations that keep the audiences in the edge of the seats.
`Hushaar' (be careful) is a suspense thriller with horror elements scores over the earlier two films of Adarsh - Dhumbee and Nage Habba. For this the tight screenplay in the second half has come to his support.
Vishwas (Adarsh) comes to Somanahalli as agriculture research officer and traces many gloomy developments. His clues work out properly and he goes on hunting many shady persons in the villages that is surrounded by forest. A series of murders baffle everyone in the village but it goes out of control for Vishwas. He finds to surprise the return of a dead man from another clue. He gets a purse later that has the important telephone number. He buys a duplicate instrument to investigate the case. At this point of time it is revealed that Vishwas is none other than COD wing leader. On tracing the telephone calls reaching the suspicion he has made he gets the final clue and reaches Bangalore to meet the pretending to be dead man. From here the route cause for various murders are unearthed for the audience.
Adarsh looks good on the screen and his dimple is a further plus point for him. He wins here as a director first. Mallika Kapoor the glam doll looks very charming on screen. Anand is wasted. Vikram Udayakumar screams a lot and Basavaraj for the lengthy role offered for the first time is not convincing.
There are only two songs in the film and both are quite OK. Camera work by Ramesh Appi and special effects are convincing. KM Prakash editing is superb.
Scoring 6/10
