A new team with an underworld subject has not just made a terrific action film but also managed to give a touching tale in the process. The supari killing and dashing stunts are part of this film no doubt but the punishment in underworld is what not unheard. This is more than killing in the opponent member.

In just 120 minutes a few action portions, terrific performances, love, sacrifice, friendship all roll out in Prakash Hebbal direction with no boring scene at all. Producer Mythri Manjunath seems to be having a very good eye for a precise subject to stay in cinema halls for quite some time.

The good friends Krishna Kudla (vardhan Thirthahalli) and Shanker (raghav Nag) are having their own chemistry in underworld. Shanker is brilliant and he uses the technology and his brain more and his friend Kudla is a sharp shooter. The Sentiment Not Allowed is the theory of the two. For the same duo the sentiment adds up at the end.

The reason for this sentiment peeping in is Pande (Balarajavadi) trick to put down the reign of Kudla and Shanker. He kidnaps Kudla making him unconscious. He is given operation and thrown on the road. Kudla is nothing but Mangala Mukhi (eunuch) now. His marriage to Anu (Bimbasri) has now crashed. To take revenge on the friend meeting such a gory situation Shanker is waiting for a chance. Now Pande throws a different game plan. Pandey offers to uplift the entire transgender community but what he wants is Shanker end.

Whether Kudla now transgender is able to meet the demand of Pandey? You have to watch it on silver screen.

This is no doubt best film in the 10 years career of Vardhan Thirthahalli. Struggling as transgender he has emoted well. He has the style for picking more action films. Raghav Nag looking smart has given good performance that would uplift his career.

Balarajavadi is a man to be noticed in the coming years. He has terrific voice and his theatre experience has helped in giving a run for opponents. With this kind of actors why Sandalwood import villains for Kannada cinema?

Vijay Jesudas song at a very important situation is the best song of the film ‘Hafta’. Music director Vijay Yardli does a good work. Gautham Srivatsa background song is with good sound. Sinetek Soori has done lot of exercise to catch with breezy developments.
