'ದಿ ವಿಲನ್' ವಿಮರ್ಶೆ: ರಾಮನಾಗಿ ಪ್ರೀತಿಸು, ರಾವಣನಾಗಿ ಯೋಚಿಸು!

Recommended video.

Rating: 3.5 /5 Star Cast: ಶಿವರಾಜ್ ಕುಮಾರ್, ಸುದೀಪ್, ಆಮಿ ಜಾಕ್ಸನ್ Director: ಪ್ರೇಮ್

ಒನ್ ಲೈನ್ ಸ್ಟೋರಿ

ರಾಮ್ (ಸುದೀಪ್) ಚಿಕ್ಕ ವಯಸ್ಸಿನಲ್ಲಿ ತನ್ನ ತಾಯಿಯಿಂದ ದೂರ ಆಗಿರುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಆ ತಾಯಿಯನ್ನು ಮಗನಿಗೆ ಸೇರಿಸುವ ಜವಾಬ್ದಾರಿಯನ್ನು ರಾಮಣ್ಣ (ಶಿವಣ್ಣ) ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಕೊನೆಗೆ ತಾಯಿ ಮಗ ಇಬ್ಬರೂ ಒಂದಾಗುತ್ತಾರ.. ಇಲ್ವಾ? ಎನ್ನುವುದು ಸಿನಿಮಾದ ಸ್ಟೋರಿ.

ಶಿವಣ್ಣ, ಸುದೀಪ್, ಆಮಿ ಜಾಕ್ಸನ್ ಪಾತ್ರ ಏನು?

ಸುದೀಪ್ ಇಡೀ ಇಂಡಿಯಾಗೆ ಬೇಕಾಗಿರುವ ಮೋಸ್ಟ್ ವಾಂಟೆಡ್ ಡಾನ್ ಪಾತ್ರ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಅವರ ಪಾತ್ರದ ಹೆಸರು ರಾಮ್. ಶಿವಣ್ಣನದ್ದು ಇಲ್ಲಿ ರಾಮಣ್ಣ ಎಂಬ ಪಾತ್ರವಾಗಿದೆ. ಸುದೀಪ್ ಅವರನ್ನು ಹುಡುಕಿಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗುವ ಪಾತ್ರ ಇದಾಗಿದೆ. ಜಾನಕಿ ಪಾತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ಆಮಿ ಜಾಕ್ಸನ್ ಕಾಣಿಸಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಇದು ಸುದೀಪ್ ಪ್ರಿಯತಮೆಯ ಪಾತ್ರ.

ರಾಮ್ ಹಾಗೂ ರಾಮಣ್ಣನ ನಡುವಿನ ಜೂಟಾಟ

ರಾಮ್ (ಸುದೀಪ್) ಹಾಗೂ ರಾಮಣ್ಣ (ಶಿವಣ್ಣ) ಈ ಎರಡು ಪಾತ್ರಗಳ ಮೇಲೆ ಸಿನಿಮಾ ನಿಂತಿದೆ. ಇಂಡಿಯಾದಲ್ಲಿ ಡಾನ್ ಆಗಿರುವ ರಾಮ್ ಬಳಿಕ ಬ್ರಿಟಿಷ್ ಡಾನ್ ಆಗಲು ಹೊರಡುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಇತ್ತ ರಾಮ್ ನನ್ನು ಹುಡುಕಿಕೊಂಡು ರಾಮಣ್ಣ ಕೂಡ ಲಂಡನ್ ಗೆ ಹೋಗುತ್ತಾನೆ. ನಂತರ ಇಬ್ಬರ ನಡುವೆ ಜೂಟಾಟ, ಹೊಡೆದಾಟ, ಹೋರಾಟ ನಡೆಯುತ್ತದೆ.

ತೊಡೆ ತಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಕರುನಾಡ ಚಕ್ರವರ್ತಿ, ಅಭಿನಯ ಚಕ್ರವರ್ತಿ

ಶಿವರಾಜ್ ಕುಮಾರ್ ಹಾಗೂ ಸುದೀಪ್ ಇಡೀ ಸಿನಿಮಾವನ್ನು ಹೊತ್ತು ನಿಂತಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಇಬ್ಬರು ತೊಡೆ ತಟ್ಟಿ ತಮ್ಮ ಪಾತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ನಟಿಸಿದ ಹಾಗಿದೆ. ಪರದೆ ಮೇಲೆ ಇಬ್ಬರ ಮುಖಾಮುಖಿ ಕಡಿಮೆ ಇದ್ದರೂ, ನಟನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಇಬ್ಬರ ನಡುವೆ ಪೈಪೋಟಿ ನಡೆಯುತ್ತಲೇ ಇರುತ್ತದೆ. ಇಬ್ಬರ ಲುಕ್, ಡೈಲಾಗ್, ಆಕ್ಟಿಂಗ್ ಒಳ್ಳೆಯ ಮಜಾ ನೀಡುತ್ತದೆ.

ಪಾತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಜೀವಂತಿಕೆ ಇದೆ

ಸಿನಿಮಾದ ಪ್ರತಿ ಪಾತ್ರದಲ್ಲೂ ಜೀವಂತಿಕೆ ಇದೆ. ತಾಯಿಯ ಪಾತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ನಟಿಸಿರುವ ಶರಣ್ಯಾ ಅವರ ನಟನೆ ಅದ್ಬುತ. ಈ ಪಾತ್ರ ಹಾಗೂ ಅವರ ಅಭಿನಯ ಸಿನಿಮಾದ ಜೀವ. ಉಳಿದಂತೆ, ರಾಮ್, ರಾಮಣ್ಣ, ಜಾನಕಿ ಹಾಗೂ ತಂದೆಯ ಪಾತ್ರಗಳಿಗೆ ಪ್ರೇಕ್ಷಕರನ್ನು ಹಿಡಿದಿಡುವ ಶಕ್ತಿ ಇದೆ.

ಕುತೂಹಲಕಾರಿ ಅಂಶಗಳು

ಚಿತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ಶಿವಣ್ಣ ಹಾಗೂ ಸುದೀಪ್ ಇಬ್ಬರೂ ಅಣ್ಣ ತಮ್ಮಂದಿರೇ? ಹಾಗಾದರೆ, ಇಲ್ಲಿ 'ವಿಲನ್' ಯಾರು? ಇಬ್ಬರ ಪಾತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಯಾವ ಪಾತ್ರಕ್ಕಾದರೂ ನೆಗೆಟಿವ್ ಶೇಡ್ ಇದ್ಯಾ? ಈ ರೀತಿ ಚಿತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ಅನೇಕ ಕುತೂಹಲಕಾರಿ ಅಂಶಗಳು ಇದ್ದು, ಕೊನೆಯವರೆಗೂ ಅವುಗಳನ್ನು ಬಿಟ್ಟುಕೊಟ್ಟಿಲ್ಲ. ಇದನ್ನು ಸಿನಿಮಾದಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ನೀವು ನೋಡಬೇಕು.

ಇಬ್ಬರ ಫ್ಯಾನ್ಸ್ ಗಳಿಗೆ ನ್ಯಾಯ

ಶಿವರಾಜ್ ಕುಮಾರ್ ಹಾಗೂ ಸುದೀಪ್ ಇಬ್ಬರೂ ಅಭಿಮಾನಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಪ್ರೇಮ್ ಮೋಸ ಮಾಡಿಲ್ಲ. ಇಬ್ಬರ ಸ್ಕ್ರೀನ್ ಸ್ಪೇಸ್, ಪಾತ್ರ, ಡೈಲಾಗ್, ಹಾಡುಗಳು, ಫೈಟ್ಸ್ ಹೀಗೆ ಎಲ್ಲ ವಿಚಾರಗಳಲ್ಲೂ ಎರಡೂ ಪಾತ್ರಗಳಿಗೆ ಅಷ್ಟೇ ಪ್ರಾಮುಖ್ಯತೆ ಇದೆ. ಇಬ್ಬರೂ ಅಭಿಮಾನಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಸಿನಿಮಾ ಇಷ್ಟ ಆಗುತ್ತದೆ.

ಮನಸ್ಸಿಗೆ ಹಿಡಿಸುವ ಸಂಭಾಷಣೆಗಳು

ಮಳವಳ್ಳಿ ಸಾಯಿಕೃಷ್ಣ ಅವರ ಸಂಭಾಷಣೆ ತುಂಬ ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿದೆ. ಕೆಲವು ಡೈಲಾಗ್ ಗಳು ಮನಸ್ಸು ಮುಟ್ಟಿದರೆ, ಇನ್ನೂ ಕೆಲವು ಮಾಸ್ ಡೈಲಾಗ್ ಗಳು ಶಿಳ್ಳೆ ಚಪ್ಪಾಳೆ ಗಿಟ್ಟಿಸುತ್ತವೆ.

ಕೆಲವು ಕಡೆ ಅಡ್ಡಗಾಲು ಹಾಕುವ ಹಾಡುಗಳು

ಸಿನಿಮಾದ ಹಾಡುಗಳು ಈಗಾಗಲೇ ಸೂಪರ್ ಹಿಟ್ ಆಗಿದೆ. ಅವುಗಳನ್ನು ತೆರೆ ಮೇಲೆ ನೋಡುವಾಗ ಖುಷಿ ಆಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಆದರೆ, ಕೆಲವು ಕಡೆ ಕಥೆಯ ವೇಗಕ್ಕೆ ಹಾಡುಗಳು ಅಡ್ಡಗಾಲು ಹಾಕಿದಂತೆ ಅನಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.

ಪ್ಲಸ್ ಅಂಡ್ ಮೈನಸ್

ಸಿನಿಮಾದಲ್ಲಿ ಅನೇಕ ಒಳ್ಳೆಯ ಅಂಶಗಳು ಇವೆ. ರಾಮಾಯಣ, ಮಹಾಭಾರತದ ಸಂದೇಶಗಳು, ತಾಯಿ ಮಗನ ಸೆಂಟಿಮೆಟ್, ಶಿವರಾಜ್ ಕುಮಾರ್ ಮತ್ತು ಸುದೀಪ್ ನಟನೆ ಸಿನಿಮಾದ ದೊಡ್ಡ ಪ್ಲಸ್ ಪಾಯಿಂಟ್ ಗಳಾಗಿವೆ. ಇವೆಲ್ಲ ಇದ್ದರೂ ಅಲ್ಲಲ್ಲಿ ಸಿನಿಮಾ ಬೋರ್ ಹೊಡೆಸುತ್ತದೆ. ಕೆಲವು ಕಡೆ ವೈಭವೀಕರಣ ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಯ್ತು ಎನಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ಸಿನಿಮಾ ಇನ್ನೂ ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ಇರಬಹುದಾಗಿತ್ತು.

ಪ್ರೇಮ್ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನ ಮೆಚ್ಚಬೇಕು

ತನ್ನ ಕಥೆ, ಇಬ್ಬರು ದೊಡ್ಡ ಸ್ಟಾರ್ ಗಳ ಇಮೇಜ್, ಅವರ ಅಭಿಮಾನಿಗಳ ಅಭಿರುಚಿ, ಕಮರ್ಷಿಯಲ್ ಲೆಕ್ಕಾಚಾರಗಳು ಈ ಎಲ್ಲವನ್ನು ಸಿನಿಮಾದಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರೇಮ್ ನಿಭಾಯಿಸಿರುವ ರೀತಿಯನ್ನು ಎಲ್ಲರೂ ಮೆಚ್ಚಿಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕು. ಸಿನಿಮಾ 100% ತೃಪ್ತಿ ನೀಡದೆ ಇದ್ದರೂ ಅವರ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಕ್ಕೆ ಚಪ್ಪಾಳೆ ಹೊಡೆಯಬೇಕು.

ಹೆಚ್ಚು ನಿರೀಕ್ಷೆ ಬೇಡ

'ದಿ ವಿಲನ್' ಸಿನಿಮಾ ದೊಡ್ಡ ನಿರೀಕ್ಷೆಯನ್ನು ಈಗಾಗಲೇ ಹುಟ್ಟುಹಾಕಿದೆ. ಆದರೆ, ಚಿತ್ರಮಂದಿರಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋಗುವ ಮುನ್ನ ಅದನ್ನು ಮರೆತು ಸಿನಿಮಾ ನೋಡಿ. ಹೆಚ್ಚು ನಿರೀಕ್ಷೆ ಇಟ್ಟು ಈ ಸಿನಿಮಾ ನೋಡಿದರೆ ಕೊಂಚ ನಿರಾಸೆ ಆಗಬಹುದು.

'The Villain' movie review: An epic misfire

Follow Us :

Film: The Villain

Kannada (U/A)

Director: Prem

Cast: Shivarajkumar, Sudeep, Amy Jackson

Stars: 2 stars (out of 5)

Change is inevitable, they say. But Prem has remained obstinate. Pressing the pause button with all his might, Prem has blocked his creativity. The director is still stuck with the ideas that first made him, and then crushed him.

There is a process on how he decides his next. He does a quick recollection of his previous works and the story, more or less, is ready for the new film.

You know it’s a Prem film when characters are thrilled by rowdysim, when there is a needless fight sequence in a prison, when the lead actress struggles to say lines in Kannada and when the hero is lucky to get a song with six heroines. And even if the universe conspires against it, Prem will succeed in incorporating this one aspect: the mother sentiment.

The after-effect of the film is no different from the one we feel after oversleeping and missing a dream interview. In utter bewilderment and shock at what Prem has done with Shivarajkumar and Sudeep, two brilliant actors at his disposal, the first question that comes to mind is: are you serious?

Inspiration from the Ramayana isn’t a new phenomenon in Indian cinema. Prem, too, decides to show the ten-headed Ravana’s cunning in all its glory. And like it’s believed, we see in The Villain that Ravana isn’t entirely an evil person. An underworld don Ram (Sudeep) is chased by Ramanna (Shivarajkumar) for a reason that is only revealed in the final 30 minutes of the movie.

For a masala flick, there is no harm in the story. But in the director's mantle, Prem appears like a student who has blanked out in the examination hall. The narration is confusing. Characters get introduced and forgotten in no time. There is no end to silly twists here, and for once, we crave for predictability in a film.

The action in The Villain seems like an ode to Rohit Shetty as cars keep getting tossed and flown about in the air. The VFX is much too video-game like.

Shivarajkumar, expectedly, doesn’t disappoint but he is let down by a weak role. Sudeep shines like gold among the dross. One of the finest actors in the country, he delivers a flawless performance.

Someone must tell Malavalli Saikrishna to stop writing old-fashioned dialogues for films set in this era. It’s disappointing that there are no mouth-watering face-offs between the two leads. One star is for Arjun Janya’s music.

Prem and team called it a ‘big’ film. They focused on the funky hair-styles for the leads. They have indeed hunted for some beautiful locations. Sadly, they forgot the main element: the script.

Movie Review: 'The Villain' Is The Worst Thing To Happen To Kannada Cinema This Year

The Villain was the most-anticipated movie from the state of Karnataka in the second half of 2018. And now that it is here, all I can say is I'm angry and sad that the film has turned out to be a bungled mess of stupid ideas. Director Prem has taken two of the biggest stars of Kannada cinema, Shiva Rajkumar and Sudeep, for a ride.

Both the actors get thunderous applause when they are introduced to the viewers via songs and dialogues. If that's what fans expect in movies starring their favourite demigods, so be it. These are petty issues that can be brushed aside once the actual story begins, I thought. But every line, every gesture and every scene in this nearly three-hour movie is written for the cheerleaders in the front row. However, I'm afraid that even they will begin to feel irritated after the initial volley of whistles.

Shiva Rajkumar and Sudeep didn't become stars overnight. They are terrific actors whose range has been explored in several movies. The cool cop you see in Tagaru (Shiva Rajkumar), and the badass villain you're afraid to get closer to in Eega (Sudeep) seem much better showboats for their careers. Those movies utilized the value of their stardom and the actors gave thoroughly enjoyable performances. In The Villain , though, when Ramanna (Shiva Rajkumar) jumps off buildings and lands on other terraces—in parkour fashion, no less—there's more disappointment in the air than excitement.

The Ram-Ravana conflict has become stale now. Unless filmmakers know how to use mythic characters to tell their stories (Mani Ratnam's Thalapathi comes to mind), they should stay away from painting their characters black and white and, of course, from calling them Ravana and Ram to signify the qualities their characters represent.

Ram (Sudeep), whose glances and on-screen re-entries are underlined by the " Raavana... Raavana " background music, is an underworld don who calls himself an underworld don. His tomfoolery makes it hard for anybody to accept him as a person who commits mass murders in the blink of an eye. The incoherent writing doesn't help. And there's a whole stretch involving the kidnapping of Seetha (Amy Jackson in a role that deserves a Razzie) and unfunny rape jokes that worsen the situation.

Shiva Rajkumar's character doesn't have anything to do with romance, surprising for a multi-starrer. And for an actor who has starred in a 100+ films as the lead, it's time for him to step into another phase of his career. His character is hell-bent on finding Ram in Prem's The Villain (Prem is the real villain here). And the director must have given himself a high-five for linking these two characters with the "mother sentiment".

Jogi wouldn't have been a blockbuster if not for the mother's yearning to see her son. And, in The Villain , it's the same banal thread that turns the meek proceedings into poison. It's 2018 and we'd really like to see something more than a string of mass scenes, songs in foreign locales and the buried avva (mother) sentiment. Similarly, Prem must cut down on his fascination for bringing in actresses from Mumbai and London. Rachita Ram, who shakes a leg with Shiva Rajkumar in the Bolo Bolo Ramappa song, looks like a better fit than Amy, who looks lost throughout the film.

Also, the action choreography that was supposed to be one of the pillars of a movie of this scale is lethargically designed. Ram picks up an extra and throws him away like he's a tiny watermelon. Here's one more big-screen blunder that I couldn't resist laughing at: Ram and Ramanna, who are closing in on each other in London, are teleported to Karnataka in a matter of seconds.

Wait! I haven't stopped complaining about the movie yet. All the supporting actors—Mithun Chakraborty, Srikanth and Tilak—vanish without a trace and their characters do not add anything to the narrative. What are well-known faces doing in a movie that doesn't respect their presence? There's more bile in my stomach, but for now, I'll leave you with this—the coming together of Sudeep and Shiva Rajkumar should have been a celebration, not an abomination!

The villain Story

The villain movie is a romantic action entertainer written and directed by Prem and produced by C R Manohar while Arjun Janya scored music for this movie. For the first time Shiva Rajkumar and Sudeep are acting togather in this movie.

Story On the outset, it is the battle between Rama & Raavana which poses to be a combat of good vs evil. However, a perfect conclusion can never be drawn that Raavana is an evil force as mythology doesn’t convincingly approve of the same and so does The Villain. The movie emphasizes the fact that despite Raavana being a person with a negative shade, he had his own share of positive asuspects of a good person which cannot be brushed aside. There is mother sentiment, a small hero-heroine episode and a bunch of songs which a general commercial cinema would consist of.
