Nam Areali Ondina 2010

Nam Areali Ondina is a 2010 Indian Kannada romance, comedy, costume drama film released on Jul 24, 2010. The film is directed by Arvind Kaushik. The film gets you hooked on to the screen from the very second the opening credits start rolling. Though "Nam Areali Ondhina" is a visual treat it disappoints on the editing front. The continuity of the proceedings is lost in the second half when the director introduces many unnecessary sequences, like the Kanyamani song featuring Mandya Ramesh. The song, although hummable, is oddly placed in the film. Moreover, some of the action sequences in the second half are painfully lengthy. A little bit of trimming here and there and it would have been a far more effective film. Although the story has nothing new to offer, it's the fresh treatment and the raw portrayal of a love story that works for it. The characters look real and sink so deep into your system. The story revolves around Ramesha, a good for nothing, careless, pampered youngster. His brother's efforts to get him a job fail every time as Ramesha's honesty doesn't go down well with the prospective employers. Like any cliched love story, Ramesha falls for a Kathak dancer Chinnu at first sight. After some persuasion, Ramesha manages to woo Chinnu. She agrees to marry Ramesha on the condition that he will have to get a job and earn at least Rs.5,000. But a lazy Ramesha gets the money through dubious means. As expected, Chinnu finds out the truth and goes through a stereotyped series of emotions, ranging from betrayal to heartache to realisation for Ramesha's genuine love. Meanwhile a sub-plot develops wherein some goons want to kill Ramesha. Check out this page for more updates on Nam Areali Ondina.
