HARIPRIYA has acted in movies like Kiladi Kitty, Ranna, Bullet Basya, Ricky, Neer Dose, Ricky to name few SRIMURULI has acted in movies like Chandra Chakori, Kanti, Yeshwanth, Minchina Ota, Rathaavara. Despite the drawbacks, Ugramm is a new direction for action films in Kannada and should be lapped up by those who love action genre. They are cardboard caricatures, instead of characters. The same happens with the gangsters of ‘Mughor’, the fictitious place.
It is too short and said in flashes to make the impact. The father-son relationship of Avinash and Atul Kulkarni would have made a wonderful story.
But the mistake here is not fleshing them out enough. When the moment comes, Agastya takes to the crime world, but it is not for revenge, but to establish his friend (Thilak as Bala) as the biggest gangster. The thrill of the film is a fictitious district that is lorded over by a series of gangsters. The past is the story of about a child (Agastya) who loses his father to crime but rather than take revenge he would let bygones be bygones. While the locals become pulp, imported gangsters just run away, on seeing him. Enter Agastya, a mechanic who fights like he is a mix of Rambo and Rocky. Haripriya arrives in India only to be abducted by gangsters. It boxes out the mood instead of hyping it up in many places. It creates a pacy thriller, but the violence is not for everyone. What follows is an orgy of killing, juxtaposed scenes and a narrative that is always on an overdrive.
This is spectacularly done by popular cinematographer Ravi Varman, who makes his debut in Kannada. The film, too, tries to look like a graphic novel. True to character, it starts with a graphic novel depicting the background story in brief. The film could well be a tribute to Pulp Fiction. The film is technically brilliant, but what it lacks is a style to the excessive energy that is drummed up.
Though the three-figure deaths and violence are overpowering, the film has to be lauded for the director’s faith and conviction in his work. The film is loud, brash, bloody and confident as a matter of choice. The film is more like Quentin Tarantino making a film on Karnataka’s rowdy (suitably named gangsters) elements. Ugramm is unlike the usual action movies we get to see in Sandalwood. The techie-turned-film-maker has not only created a platform for himself, but also given a new lease of stardom to his brother-in-law Srimurali. The infusion of fresh talent in Sandalwood continues and the latest is Prashanth Neel.
