The only release of this week 'Puthra' is a carbon copy of 2006 Tamil film 'Emtan Magan' that starred Bharat, Gopika and Nasser in key roles.

Here in 'Puthra' Diganth, Supritha and Avinash play the lead roles. The main bottlenecks of this film is the production values and poor technical support.

The key actors Diganth and Avinash steal the show with two opposite pole roles. The father and son show of strength is of course a good watch for the younger generation with their parents. There is every caring and crying mother.

At the outset why father is in angry mood and son so submissive always is a lesson for the present generation. The over freedom in the family leads to what sort of debacle as the sons growth we have seen in our society.

The disciplined father Narasimha (Avinash) never let loose on his son Krishna. He has every reason because he wants his son to take a good position to maintain his grocery shop. What difficulty he passed through he wants his son to know. As a bright student Krishna gives up luxury in his college days and he works with his father in the grocery shop.

The only weakness in Krishna is his childhood friend whom she wants to marry in life. That is Thulasi living a little far off also a relative of Krishna family. The meeting of Thulasi is not possible because of rivalry between the two families.

A death in the family of Thulasi brings the two families near and Krishna takes this opportunity to meet Thulasi and express his feelings. As expected by Krishna happens but when he is hugging Thulasi in the dark the two families are witness to it.

The hell breaks out and vengeance further increases between the two families. Krishna is asked to get out of the house by his father and Thulasi follows. What next is interesting development in the life of Krishna and Thulasi.

Although Narasimha accepts the growth of his son he prefers to remain in his town maintaining the grocery shop.

Diganth has a reversal role from his existing image. A chatter box on screen in the recent times winning hearts of youth made a wide difference in his selection of role. He is convincing. More convincing is Avinash. The better actor today in Kannada filmdom shows how strong the father should be to bring up the children. Only flaw in his characterization is that he takes the pegs in the house with all family members seeing it.

Ramesh Raja music and Ravi Suvarana camera work deserved to be better. There is no proper lighting done for the interiors in the cinema.

A good story and performance better from usual ruts!

Score 6.5/10
