Director Raghu Bhat deserves a pat on the back for handling too many assignments – script, direction, and playing the lead – in the movie. Raghu Bhat has done a good job as an actor and the director. He has attempted to make a movie based on an unique concept  - a man`s pregnancy.

The movie begins with Arjun Hebbar aka Arjun (Raghu Bhat) suffering from stomach pain. Arjun tries to contact his friend Deen Dayala aka DD (Prajwal) but in vain. He calls for an ambulance to take him to the hospital. Later he gets discharged and finds a cesarean scar on his stomach. As if it is not enough, he finds a baby girl at his home. He tries his best to abandon the baby girl but in vain. He meets Police Inspector Narayan (Sujay Shastry) to find out who left the baby girl at his home. The more he tries to abandon the baby girl the more it becomes tough for him.

Meanwhile, director introduces a flashback narrating how Arjun, a famous chef, fell in love with a well-known foods company owner (Kavya Shetty) and what made her to maintain a distance with him. You have to watch the movie to know who the parents of the baby girl are.

Though the movie looks talky, comedy scenes, especially the police station scene, tickle audiences funny bone. Raghu Bhat has acted well. Kavya Shetty looks beautiful and has done justice to her assignment. Vijay Raghavendra, who makes special appearance, adds value. Shilpa Shailesh and Harini Shreekanth provide good support.

Ashwini Hemanth`s music is good and Anand Sundaresha did a good job behind the camera.

The movie is worth watching for those who want some relief from mundane chores.
