KIRAN BEDI

"Malashri playing the role of Kiran Bedi"

Story:
A repeated subject, the story starts with a honest constable (Srinivasamurthy) who has only one goal, to make his daughter an IPS officer. He names her Kiran Bedi (Malashri) and devotes his life and soul in upbringing her to an IPS officer. Kiran is also courageous and stands by her father's ideals. Soon, she becomes a terror to the baddies like Bhoopathy (Ashish Vidyarthi), Naga, Vicky, Muni, Mobile Nachappa and others. In no time, she is transferred to Bellary from Bangalore but then Kiran hatches a plan and this leads to the death of Vicky, son of Bhoopathy. Enraged by this, he sends his men and despite putting up a lot of fight, Kiran dies. Srinivasamurthy is shattered as he watches all this in front of his own eyes but then he sees a ray of hope in the form of the petty thief Bellary Bhagyalakshmi (Malashri again). Bhagya's only aim is to make money and she is street smart to achieve her goals. Srinivasamurthy gives her what she wants and gets her to Bangalore to pretend to be Kiran Bedi. In no time, Bhoopathy and gang fall in several troubles due to Bhagya and when things enter the court, her true identity is revealed and even Bhoopathy gets punishment since they admit to the murder. Bhagya and Srinivasamurthy come out of jail and she pursues education to become a real IPS officer. What happens from there forms the rest of the story.

Presentation:
The director has attempted to come up with a storyline that has been visited several times but then the presentation was neat which worked. The narrative had few logical lapses. The dialogues were punch packed, script was written okay though there were flaws, screenplay was average. Music had that pep and the camerawork was effective. Editing was needed to cut the length of the film and costumes and locations were suitable. Malashri has come up with an energetic performance and her stunts and dialogues will charge up the front benchers. Srinivasamurthy came out with his best performance while Rangayana Raghu provided relief with his comedy, Ashish Vidyarthi was regular with his evil acts, the others did their bit to add value to the film.

Conclusion:
Perhaps the release time of the film was not proper as the release of 'Veera Madhakari' last week has a very similar storyline. While the first half goes about with punch dialogues and action sequences, the second half gets emotional but culminates to the mass track with the high energy dialogues and some good comedy. The film is all the way a Malashri treat but she has to work on her body if she is looking at making a comeback. This is a true delight to the mass audience and they will connect to it well. This will make some money at the box office.
