Kencha

Cast * Prajwal Devaraj as Rahul * Pragna as Swetha * Sharath Lohitashwa as Pashupathy * Lakshman * Tilak Shekar as Ajay Music Reception Critical response The New Indian Express wrote "the director introduces a flashback scene and explains that Rahul is the son of Pashupathy and under what circumstances they got separated. The climax is how Rahul teaches Ajay a lesson. It is unfortunate that music director Rajesh Ramanathan has also failed in his assignment. All in all, a film that you can do without". RG Vijayasathy of ''Rediff.com'' scored the film at 1.5 out of 5 stars and says "Rajesh Ramanath's music is ordinary. PL.Ravi remains the only technician whose work is worth mentioning. Director Sathya proves that he is a better actor than a writer-director as you need a lot of patience to watch Kencha". B S Srivani of ...

Arjuna (film)
''Arjuna'' ( kan, ಅರ್ಜುನ) is a 2015 Indian Kannada crime drama film directed by P. C. Shekar and stars Prajwal Devaraj, Devaraj and Bhama in the lead roles. First time father (Devaraj) and son (Prajwal Devaraj) share the screen. The film's music is scored by Arjun Janya. Positive reviews from the critics. Plot Arjuna is shown as a very good guy with great conscience. There is no clue about his dealing with a murder. But when the murder news opens up, Arjuna becomes uneasy, which deepens ACP Verma's doubt. The director does his job in a good manner in the first half. But the second half betrays us. The suspense eventually ends up in losing its flavor. The real reason for Arjuna's transformation could have been handled much better. Devaraj comes out with a splendid performance. Prajwal, his real life offspring, has imbibed his role to a good extent and does it commendably. Bhama comes only in few scenes in the film, but does a neat job. The film has its share of doubl ...

Cast * Prajwal Devaraj * Manasa Himavarsha * Ananth Nag * Avinash * Tabla Nani * Pannaga Bharana * Sadhu Kokila Soundtrack Reception Critical response The Hindu wrote "Ananth Nag plays the role of an ancestral priest featuring predominantly in a cameo song at the beginning of the film. However, the song too is rather ludicrous for its use of background dancers dressed as several Hanumans. Sadhu Kokila is introduced in the film apparently for comic relief, but his jokes about how he got a transgender pregnant are cringe-worthy and offensive. Mrugashira is bizarre to say the least". ''The Times of India'' scored the film at 2 out of 5 stars and says "Ananth Nag and Avinash have limited roles and do justice to what's offered to them. What is commendable in ...

Nothing worthy of mentioning about V Manohar’s music nor PKH Doss’ work as a camera person. Savaal is a total let down with a paper-thin plot. Skip it". Shyam Prasad S of ''Bangalore Mirror'' scored the film at 1.5 out of 5 stars and says "he gives up his life by coming between an assassin's bullet and Prajwal. Shobraj has probably not been paid his remuneration and he has not dubbed for the role. But the dubbing artiste has done a good job. Thank God, the film is fewer than two hours". ...
