The much expected film from Nagathihalli Chandrasekhar for the story of Kanasu Nagathihalli is delectable in many parts. This is an Indian film and the subject taken up to excavate many other things between India and England is a point to be observed even after 70 plus years of Indian Independence.

The exotic locations are no doubt a visual treat but the narration technique of Nagathihalli Chandrasekhar especially in the second half and excellent performance from Vasishta N Simha and versatile actor Ananthnag in particular lifts the film to a higher level. Already the thought of this film is in higher level.

The tug of war between Vasishta N Simha and Manvitha Harish on the greatness of two countries is a quick lesson to younger generation. When the ‘Blue Diamond’ issue crops up in the second half the tension picks up and for no mistake the protagonist Kanishka takes the risk of proving that he is innocent. This risk could have been avoided because there was Medini to sort out the issue on the other side.

Yet the film with top standards is worth watching by the family. There are some good research works from Nagathihalli Tent Cinema. For the elders, younger generation and middle aged the spread of various factors is interesting and that is always the intelligence of Nagathihalli Chandrasekhar.

Kanishka (Vasishta N Simha) is on world tour and he wants to up the street side excellence to other prime spots in his blog to reach the people worldwide. He comes to India from England. He meets Bhageeratha a man with many discoveries and his granddaughter Medini. On a tour in India and back home Kanishka and Medini fall in love. Akshamsha and Rekhamsha unite after hate and love tussle in the journey.

So what is interesting later? Kanishka takes his fiancé Medini to England. A misunderstanding from the sister of Kanishka crops up. At the same time Medini is asked to reach India by her grandfather Bhageeratha.

The reason for this connection getting dislocated is the precious jewel ‘Blue Diamond’. Rest you have to watch on the silver screen.

It is an excellent performance from Vasishta N Simha. He has the attitude and aptitude to transform as hero. Manvitha a talkative and bubbly girl is emotionally good. Versatile actor Ananthnag scores whenever he arrives on the screen. Sumalatha Ambarish, Prakash Belawadi, Sadhu Kokila, Gopal Kulkarni, Shivamani rendered good support.

There are three melodious songs starting from Kannada alphabet song shot on Sumalatha Ambarish. Love Illade…London London Dhana Dhan… are rocking with another duet song.

The film cinematography from three experts is something wonderful throughout. Dialogues are well written, costumes are too good and first half needed some fastness.

Worth watching India Verses England…Idu Cricket Alla.
