'Udees' film review - a film starring Mayur directed by P.N. Sathya

If everyone starts venturing into serious movie production, there might be no commercial films! Filmgoers are thirsty for variety and mass entertainers. But sadly, our filmmakers have redefined violent flicks as 'mass entertainers'. Majestic and Dasa are the box office hits by P.N. Sathya, that revolves around rowdism in one or the other way. His next 'Sardara' had something to say irrespective of its box office collection. Udees is his latest attempt to follow the success formula starring Mayur in the lead. If the director thinks, such pretentious flick can pull the audience to cinema halls, he is wrong. People are bored of flooded violence in Kannada movies! However, Mayur Patel once again proves himself though Udees is certainly a wrong choice for this talented youngster.

Mayur in film Udees

Film starts with an abode of rowdies. Till the interval, it moves in two distinct tracks without any connection. While one part deals with a group of rowdies, the other with college going Satya (Mayur) and the heroine in their dream world. Satya turns violent when a moneylender assaults his family. Then starts his saga of violence. Director Satya tried to convey the message that 'death is the only end for a rowdy'. But is it necessary to glorify violence to convey this message? People have seen enough and more fairytales!

Story, direction and the screenplay are the real villains of the movie. The only performance worth remembering is of Mayur who has given a brilliant performance in action, dance and emotional scenes despite of shoddy script. Apart from that, there is nothing else that deserves a mention.
