Let me come to the gloomy part first. Because this is more recent. There was no cable transmission in our locality yesterday. I missed the 52nd Filmfare Award ceremony!!! :-( For a complete Bollywood freak like me, this loss is, I must say, pretty heavy. Sigh! I missed Hrithik' and sSridevi's performance, which according to my "I-watched-the-filmfare-awards" colleagues (hmph!!) were damn good. Well, have to either wait for the re-telecast or until some kind soul uploads it to youtube.
The Bright part, well...... :-) "Mungaaru MaLe". I don't think I need to explain the "Bright"ness. But nevertheless, will still explain.
A Kannada movie which is a welcome relief among the recent released movies (family dramas with a sister or mother in trouble or the good-boy-turned-goonda kinds)
Cinematography [By Krishna], acting (well...not considering the heroine here), story (clichéd but depicted nicely), screenplay, music, lyrics [anything left?? :-) ] are all very good. Worth mentioning is the excellent acting prowess of Ganesh, the hero (better known as Comedy-time Ganesh).
The lyrics are worth applauding. Not at all offensive or explicit. It does not even have English/Hindi words in between (which seems to be a trend from some time).
It’s been penned by Jayant Kaykani (Anisuthde, KuNidu, AraLuthiru), Shiva (Suvi Suvvali, Ivanu), Kaviraj (Onde Ondu Saari) and Yograj Bhat (the director himself for the title track). Full credit for the whole cast and crew for making a wonderful movie.
However, one thing I did not find convincing is the pronunciation of some words in the songs by Bollywood singers – Sunidhi, Udit, Sonu. It could have been better if they had used singers from our industry only.
I still have another reason to feel bright about.
Don't know if it's appropriate to write about it now. Well, all I can and will say is that I am very happy for you guys [N and S]. :-D

Yes Lady, music is superb. I hope Mano Murthy(California) {that's how he is called btw!!) settles in Karnataka. KFI could do a lot with such a music director! I cant help it, I have to say it again...superb movie! :D

Right,one of the good movies in Kannada in recent times.After Amrutavarshini,probably the only one in which all songs were excellent.
IMO, "kallaraLi hoovagi" was also a very nice movie,although it did not gain the same popularity as MM.
ya.heard its very good..couldn't find people interested in it to go watch it :-( guess it needs software prof to forward good reviews of it thru thr n/w..
Yeah,
Udit Narayan and Kunal Ganjawala were so bad in this movie. They have not pronounced the words properly.
Udit has pronounced "ವಲ್ಲವೇ ನೀನೊಲ್ಲಿದ ಕ್ಷಣದಿ೦ದಲೇ...".
I heard the movie is excellent except for the climax (o last 10 - 15 mins)and am surprised to see the crowd even during the Weekdays.

ya the movie is doing very well.. and i completely agree with you on Udit's pronounciation. Sonu has pronounced "MaLe" as "male" one time in the song..changing the whole meaning!
