KR Jagadish shouldering responsibilities in many areas of this film `Story Kathe' gives some chilling moments and the need of the hour a vaccine for curing all viruses is given a thought. On the one side he thinks of saving the human life and other side he bet the same human life for death game placing luck as the main factor. Director Jagadish taking the two tracks - fear for death and death by compulsion is rather slow in his narration. The end point is as expected when wrong path is followed.

For the sake of earning money he is forced to accept bet on life. After several rounds of lucky battle on life Pratap emerges victorious with huge money. He deposit the money to his wife name in the bank before he takes a bus where he is finds another shock. The required factor for the audience is the patience. At times director tests the patience but overall he succeed in good narration. Tilak is adequate in the role; Parvathy Nayar has nothing much and so is Neha Patil. As a frightened youth Pratap Narayan is impressive. Cinematography and music deserved to be better. The background score is quite OK. The film is passable. Score - 6.5/10
