My Autograph: a movie review

Disclaimer/caution: firstly its a kannada movie so i guess many will retard after reading this phrase (kinda optimizing your time u know:-)).......secondly am a semi-literate/illiterate in kannada and i dint get the opportunity to watch this movie with subtitles (so pls don't blame me if the review goes obsolete:-?)....

its a story about a person called shankar.....starts with a flashback of him narrating his experiences in life in the  past (basically his love life:-)) before "finally" getting married (the girl being kept as a suspense).....the movie is based on his chemistry with 3 characters......the 1st one is a girl named Kamli who is his classmate.....shankar develops an infatuation with this girl but gets hammered by her dad and eventually she gets married to some other guy (a usual one....not a big deal right:-/).....life goes on and he lands up in kerala.....there he finds his 2nd love Lat"h"ika (i wont call it infatuation this time:-))....the actor nicely adapts himself with his new destination and the drama goes well with some hilarious moments thanks to his struggle with a new language in "god's own country".....amidst this he "unintentionally" conveys his feelings to lathika who plays around a bit but finally falls in pit (love is blind....dumb and deaf as well).....tragedy strikes again, with the local "well wishers" of the girl blasting the hero and his family.....he then decides to leave this business and goes to bangalore (strange:-??).....but, the two anecdotes keep rumbling in his mind until he meets the third character Divya(serendipity:-))....this girl settles him with a job and things go as expected.....bad luck seems to be in symbiosis with shankar as Divya seals their relationship with a mark of friendship forever.....poor guy!
finally the story ends in an unconventional way with shankar getting married to a "guest appearance".....

my views:
  • i felt the story was quite unique:-)
  • hats off to the writer for intricately dealing with the concept of relationships and due credits to the director and actors for playing their part well...
  • i express my sincere gratitude to the directors for adequately filtering those silly "one-to-many" fighting scenes:-)
  • a must watch for all those heart-broken Devdases:-/
