Karnataka Chief Minister’s son Nikhil starred in ‘Seetharama Kalyanam’ which is gearing up to hit the screens soon. The makers recently unveiled the teaser of the film. Though it is getting a good response some of the scenes seem to be copied from Stylish Star Allu Arjun’s blockbuster ‘Sarrainodu’. The temple scene before the interval in the movie is the highlight of the film. The same scene is seen in Seetha Rama Kalyanam which shocked the audience. Not only the scene but also the expressions are the same.

This resemblance started a talk that the movie might be a remake of Sarrainodu. Anup Rubens is composing the tunes for this film. Nikhil debuted into the industry with a movie ‘Jaguar’. Renowned writer Vijayendra Prasad penned the script for this film but it became a disaster which disappointed Nikhil a lot. He has now pinned his hopes on Seetharama Kalyanam. But the teaser giving ‘Sarrainodu’ feels increased some speculations among the audience.

Bollywood actors making their debut into regional film industries is not new for us. Already Juhi Chawla, Deepika Padukone, and others have impressed their presence in Kannada film industry. Now we have come to know that Jacqueline Fernandez is all ready for her Kannada film debut.

Jacqueline Fernandez is going to act in an interesting film titled as Seetharama Kalyanam starring Nikhil Gowda, the son of the chief minister Kumara Swamy. The film is the remake of Telugu movie Rarandoi Veduka Chuddam. Harsha is the director of the film. Rachitha Ram is playing the heroine. Sharath Kumar is also seen in an important character. The regular shoot of the film is happening at a brisk pace.

The makers are planning to rope in Jacqueline Fernandez for a special song of the movie. The makers are yet to announce the same.

A debut is all about the impression which debutante create in the minds and hearts of people watching him. It’s been a preconceived notion or something that everyone having a great family background debuts with a budget that is not so common even for a star hero to break even easily. Many number of films with content can be made with this budget if given chance. Nikhil Kumar, who is grandson of Ex-Prime minister Deve Gowda is making his grand debut with Jaguar which is made ob budget of 75 crores under HD Kumaraswami of Chennambika Films directed by NBK’s Mithrudu fame Mahadev. Let’s see how it works on us.

Story

SS Krishna (Nikhil Kumar) is a medical student and junior to Arya (Adarsh Balakrishna). He falls for her sister Priya (Deepti Sati) at a very first look on World blind day. Krishna murders a judge and a police officer and make it telecast live on SS Tv channel owned by Sampath Raj with the power of hacking. He do these murders wearing a black mask. These case is chased and investigated by CBI officer (Jagapathi Babu). After the second murder he receives SMS from Arya’s mobile to CBI officer about murderer and his next targets which involve Krishna, Sampath Raj and Medical college management. How CBI Officer chase this case?? Why is Krishna doing these murders?? forms the rest of the story.

Cast and Performance

Nikhil Kumar who is debuting with this movie is okay. He need a lot to improve in terms of expressions he give. He looks not so handsome like what we expect a hero to look. Deepti Sati is good as Priya. She looks good. Jagapathi Babu as CBI Officer is good and he performed so well. Sampath Raj is nice. He performed as usual. Black guy who acted as senior to Krishna is humorous and funny. Adarsh Balakrishna is nice. Brahmanandam is okay. All other characters performed to their extent.

Writing Department

Story by Vijayendra Prasad is routine and the theme is well used in his previous movies. Screenplay is good and loses grip at places. Dialogues are okay and they stressed more on rhyming.

Technical Departments

Songs composed by S S Thaman are okay.This album is not a great one nor a worst one from him. Background score by Chinna is good, especially during emotional and elevation scenes. Cinematography by Manoj Paramahamsa is nice. Lighting mode he chose for this movie is nice and it added a lot of beauty to the visuals. Editing by Ruben could have been much better. Action sequences are composed well. Production values of Chennambika films are super rich.

Highlights

• Cinematography by Manoj Paramahamsa

• Routine Story

Verdict

This movie is about a routine and normal Telugu hero who is strong and is above all which is sometimes even above god. There is nothing he cannot do and nothing he couldn’t know. He do a murder and in the very next scene he preaches. This movie begins with the live telecast of a murder done by Jaguar, named by CBI officer. This half goes on a pretty average stuff and has nothing more to carry with just some teasing, comedy and lame scenes. It ends with the murder of police officer which does not create any curiosity for the second half. Second half runs with the template Srinu Vaitla formula of hero joining in villain’s home and Brahmanandham entry to provide humour relief to the audience. Theme of the story which is based on a line that “To succeed a step further, I will pray to ten people and dominate a hundred people” is used by Vijayendra Prasad many number of times. This movie do not have any content which should be made on a huge budget of 75 crores. This much of budget is spent just to make grand launch and make the film look good. To sum up, Jaguar is a High Budgeted debut gone haywire.

Former Karnataka CM Kumaraswamy’s son Nikhil Kumar’s debut film ‘Jaguar’ looks to be creating sensations before its theatrical release.

Makers of Jaguar had conducted a program to auction the first ticket of the high budget action entertainer and surprisingly, a native of Mysuru has acquired the first ticket of the film for a staggering Rs 10 lakhs. It is really surprising to see such craze for the film of a debut hero.

Kumaraswamy seems to be leaving no stone unturned to make the film a gigantic success. The film has started garnering attention thanks to the heavy promotions. A fans association has also been formed for this young hero.

‘Jaguar’ is gearing up for a massive release in over 1000 screens on October 7. Ace writer Vijayendra Prasad’s script, Thaman’s music, Tamanna’s item song and high technicalities are the main assets of this high budget entertainer.

Karnataka’s Ex-Chief Minister Kumaraswamy’s son Nikhil Gowda is busy with the debut film of his son. The film is titled as Jaguar. The film has some talented technicians. The film is slated for a Dasara release. The film will be releasing simultaneously in Telugu and Kannada languages. Meanwhile, Kumara Swamy has been making plans to rope in other top directors for his son’s upcoming films. His second film has a lot of craze now. Kumara Swamy is considering the top directors like Puri Jagannadh, Koratala Siva and Trivikram Srinivas for Nikhil’s second film.

During the audio launch of the film, Kumara Swamy has revealed that Nikhil’s second project will start next year and a top Tollywood director will direct the film. It looks like Kumara Swamy is not compromising at all in bringing the best of the best for his son.
