It is another Kannada film that bears the name of Kannada movie icon
Vishnuvardhana. This film is titled 'Vishnu' and directed by actor
Abhijit who has played two roles in it and who was very close to the
late legendary actor.
But unlike 'Only Vishnuvardhana' which was released a week earlier,
this film does not use the name of the iconic actor extensively and show
the clips of his many films. But a photograph of Abhijit and
Vishnuvardhan is displayed with a note that the film has been dedicated
to the late actor.
The film has a revenge-based story which is full of commercial
elements like action and thrills. A little bit of comedy is also thrown
in with actor Bullet Prakash trying to pull a few comedy punches here
and there.
But the story is too predictable to sustain any interest among the
audience. Even the technical value of the film is below the average
standards that are exhibited in many contemporary Kannada films.
The camera work is pathetic but the graphics work is slightly better.
Krupakar has done just average work in his music compositions.
The first half is badly narrated while the second half is little
interesting. But overall, the film suffers from low quality of
production and a haphazard narration.
Vishnu is a do-gooder who comes to his native village to help one of
his friends who is trying to marry his lover -- the daughter of a
village ruffian who torments the villagers.
When Vishnu finds that most of the villagers treat him specially and
give a lot of respect, he goes deep into the reasons for such reverence.
He understands it is all because of his father Narasimha who tried to
protect the villagers and do good things for the benefit of the
village. His attempts to help out the villagers for constructing a lake
are not to the liking of his relatives who kill him.
Vishnu avenges the death of his father by killing his relatives responsible for the murder.
Abhijit's attempt to have a new look in both the roles has not
yielded good results. His hair styling is atrocious. However, he has
excelled in action sequences. The film's heroine Catherine is only there
for her glamour quotient and nothing else.
The veteran actors, including Ashish Vidyarthi and Sharath Lohitashwa
who play the villain's roles, just shout and scream rather than showing
their talents.
