Idiots Fun Riot
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,April 20 2010]
The Â5 Idiots debut direction of actor Master Anand is having strong shades of Hindi film ÂDarwaza Bandh Karo not because the similar Kannada title ÂMachcha Bagluhako but because of the innocent acceptance of director Anand. When a question came from the media whether this film is a remake of Hindi film the director cum actor Anand quietly said the Hindi version is one hour and forty five minutes duration while Kannada film Â5 Idiots is half an hour more in duration.
Keeping aside whether it is a straight subject or remake one, what is notable is the strength and ability of actor Anand. At a young age (just after marriage) he has taken up direction of a Kannada film. He was a child actor 15 years ago now graduated in thoughts. ÂThere is no short cut way for success. The hard work only gives results, is the crux of this hilarious film Â5 IdiotsÂÂ, said Anand.
Why an English title to a Kannada cinema was debated for a long time at the media briefing. It is last minute decision taken by actor Vasu (the one with producer Jayasri Devi camp) who got the title approved from KFCC. Why the title registering committee becomes strict, came up from senior actor Karibasavaiah. The admirations to the language should come from the makers first, was the reply that came from the media.
However the film has completed 10 days of shoot in a private house near Sunkada Katte in Bangalore. Anand, Vasu, Naveen Krishna, Petrol Prasanna and Namratha Hegde are the five idiots who kidnap a rich manÂs daughter the heroine of the film Harshika Poonacha for a ransom of Rs.4 crores. They keep the kidnapped girl in the house of a stranger that leads to various complications.
ÂThe experience of television serial ÂSSLC Naan Maklu 390 episodes has come to my helpÂ, says actor cum director Anand.
Producer Lokesh Murthy of ÂCrime Spota tabloid is one of the producers of the film. He has the support of Magadi Krishnamurthy and Mohan in making this film.
Actress Harshika Poonacha acts in the first comedy film in her career. ÂI was in to serious kind of roles so far in my career. The whole film is thoroughly enjoyableÂ, said Harshika.
