When the concept of a film director touches your heart, it is half won! The same is the case with this ‘Payanigaru’ of director Raj Gopi. He has very touching moments in the second half besides giving philosophy of life. The correlation is what important in the life especially in the middle aged family life stresses the director.

The film becomes an eye opener to most of the people in the society when a hard hitting situation comes up. This is a travel cinema and it is Bengaluru to Goa trip by five married middle aged persons - Lakshman Shivashanker, Ashwini Haasan, Raghavendra Nayak, Sudhir Mysuru, Raghavendra Budanur.  Each of them is hurt in the family life but it is not to the level of cut off the relation with respective spouses.

It is a jolly ride mixed with ordeals declaration in the family and when they reach Goa the shock is something unexpected. Jeevan (Lakshman Shivashanker) collapse due to heart attack and carrying him to Bengaluru several emotions open. In this gang Ramappa (Nagaraja Rao) doles out some out emotions. As they reach Bengaluru with Jeevan body in his car the remaining four (a teacher, commission agent, Mane Aliya and businessman) for a better life of tomorrow.

The one particular high pitch song sung by Ravindra Soragavi ‘Bari Dehavidu Bari Dehavalla…has come out very strongly in the lines of K Kalyan.

Cinematography is another best part of this film as the movements of wheels on high way are captured well.

All the five in the film have done pretty good job. This is a film for people of yesterday, people of tomorrow in life.

Payanigaru alerts you with the given situation, Payanigaru alerts you what happens with the pressure mounts up life. Go watch this film with elder family members.
