Title – Ananthu Vs Nusrat, Producer – Manikya Productions, Direction – Sudhir Shanubogh, Music – Sunad Gautham, Cinematography – Abhishek Kasargod, Cast – Vinay Rajakumar, Latha Hegde, Prajwal Devaraj, Datthanna, KS Sridhar, Swathi, Ravishanker, B Suresha, Harini and others.

The third film of Vinay Rajakumar is totally different and a great work in screenplay and sentiment aspects is impeccable. Vinay Rajakumar has shown lot of cool and composed nature required for the role. He has shown his grit and determination even remaining simple and humble.

The topnotch of the film is the blend of love and emotions. The Hindu and Muslim boy and girl live above the religion. It is because the environment they are living is like that.

It is always said the proper education given to children makes them to understand things better and in precise way. This is what happened in Sudhir Shanbogh film ‘Ananthu Vs Nusrat’.

An orthodox Madhwa Brahmin boy Ananthu No 1 advocate adheres to his father Shanker principles and guidelines. From the same father he takes the permission to enter the family court because his lover Nusrat is judge. He prefers to remain in and around Nusrat after expressing his love. Both have studied in the same law campus for seven years. Nusrat at the age of Ananthu gets the position of Family Court judge. Why Ananthu is advocate – there is not precise answer to it in the film.

However, the cases what Ananthu handles are eye opener. He makes good attempt in rejoining broken families, his attempt in giving justice to child Spandana with estranged parents is a real scoring point. This particular issue even strikes the judge Nusrat in family court because she is facing similar situation right from childhood.

In comes Naseer Ahmed an Ethiopian doctor (Prajwal Devaraj) as match for judge Nusrat. This does not last long because Naseer says he believes in working in the place where he studied as there is grave need for his service. After engagement Naseer Ahmed delete from his association in just a discussion with Nusrat is another plus point. That even makes way clear for Ananthu.

The two respected families agree to the demand of Ananthu and Nusrat. The verses in the title gets deleted and become life partners.

The handling of the role in his third film by Vinay Rajakumar deserves kudos for him. He has just one action scene and remember there is no romantic song for the hero and heroine. There is one lovely song with good dance from Vinay Rajakumar – Iga Taane Jaariyagide Muddaada Naviraada….

The charmer is Latha Hegde. She looks pretty and her performance sure to get more offers. Daththanna, Swathi, Sridhar, Prajwal Devaraj, B Suresha and Harini have remained extremely good in their roles.

Abhishek Kasargod close up shots and urge for brining the frames correctly on screen is admirable. Music direction of Sunad Gautham never disappoints.

It is a good watch for the family audience.

Rating:3/5 ***
