Movie Review : Prithvi - Kannada

Language : Kannada

Cast: Puneet Rajkumar, Parvathi Menon, Avinash, Ramesh Bhat, Srinivas Murthy

Starring Puneet Rajkumar and Parvathi Menon, Prithvi is a movie about a geek, who has cleared a civil service examination and gets posted in Bellary. Prithvi (Puneet Rajkumar) marries and Parvathi Menon and relocates to Bellary. Bellary, as known for its rich mining business will be under control of mining riches and are also politicians and will be exploiting the rich mining resource illegally. When Prithvi will be posted to Bellary, he will soon realize the bureaucracy behind the mining business. He will stand against politicians to fight against the illegal mining business to protect the countrymen from the hazards of illegal mining. As a result politicians will trouble Prithvi, in his personal and professional life. But committed to his principles Prithvi will fight against politicians to stop illegal mining.

The movie end doesn’t seem to be convincing. Director completely loses control of the script at the end of the movie. So, movie turns out be just a watchable movie rather than impressing the audience.

It is obvious that, this movie certainly was made to showcase the Bellary mining riches ‘Reddy brothers’ and there illegal business.

Puneet Rajkumar has performed to his mark. Parvathi Menon doesn’t disappoint either. Avinash's performance is good. Dialogs are very punching. Director loses control over the movie in the second half. Music isn’t up to expectation. Only thing which could catch your attention is in the entire movie is the photography. Overall it’s a good movie to watch. It’s a cinematized version of current mining issues Karnataka is dealing with.
