This is the best from Dayal Padmanabhan. A shrewd film maker with sensitivities Dayal Padmanabhan has offered an exhilarating experience.

Wish cannot be achieved by crime. It should be achieved by hard work and honesty is the one line statement of this film. The danger of destiny is another focus of this film.

Based on Mohan Habbu stage play ‘Aa Karala Rathri’ is having a blood curdling end. The opening the songs mixed, background score, performance and not even an iota of bore – it is an outstanding film. The audiences have every reason to watch this film. They would miss out something absorbing in case they don’t come to the theatre.

‘Aa Karaala Rathri’ is a film with strange social activities that are bothering everyone. The issue of ‘Aase’ (wish) is universal. There is one such girl Mallika who has crossed the age of marriage with her parents Muthanna and Gowramma in a remote village.

To this village comes the handsome hunk with two suitcases in hand. The fortune has entered this house says a forecast but the discontent Mallika has something else in mind. The new intruder to the house is Subbu. He calls Gowramma as ‘Amma’ and he wants to stay at this house for one day. On that particular night the developments are shocking as ‘Aase’ comes in the middle.


This factor is interesting and what you have to watch it on silver screen of a neatly made film ‘Aa Karaala Rathri’. The delectable performance of Veena Sunder, Anupama Gowda, Rangayana Raghu, Jayaram Karthik is hall mark of this family entertainer.

At the beginning the film gives a clue on what subject the film is based. The narration tactics of Dayal Padmanabhan with great support from Naveen Krishna is commendable.

The music of Ganesh Narayan – three haunting songs – especially the first one and last one are on top gear. Cinematography of PHK Doss is another beauty with Sri of Crazy of Minds editing the film with accuracy.

Just buy the ticket and watch this film without fail. It is touching, top in quality and tremendous in making.
