Ramesh Arvind makes his directorial debut in the Kannada film Rama Shyama Bhama, a remake of the Tamil hit Sathi Leelavathi.
The movie has got rave reviews after the preview shows and apparently, its not a frame by frame remake of the original. The highlight of the movie is Dr Sir's Hubli accent, something which even a Kannada actor wouldn't be able to pull of easily.

Bangalore is a fort for Kamal fans and following in the tracks of Virumaandi and Vasool Raja [a garland costing around Rs. 1.5 lakh was placed over a gaint cut out], the fans are celebrating the release in their typical incomparable style.

Hubbers like Cinefan, Jaiganes, Vallavar, myself will be watching the movie in a few days time in Bangalore and others are also welcome.

sathi leelavathi entertained all age group in tamil nadu from 15 to 60....so hope it does in karnataka too

[nAKMzyBN]

Good one.

After 18 years he is doing kannada movie.

I'll be very happy if he shows interest in malyalam movie.

[xsexymasterix]

Why is a classic comedy like Sathee Leelavathy being remade after so long?

[prkddfokic]

[benderkoz]

Good idea.

Kuruthipunal is an excellent film. I have seen "n" number of times. His costumes. dialogues are superb.

Middle class manasatchi, Breaking point - still those dialogues are in mind.

[T5qYkHWQ]

Kamal's movies are mosly scripts that can be shot @ any point in time.

Kuruthi Punal can be shot now, or even in another 10 years. Same with Hey Ram, Anbe Sivam, Virumaandi and Guna.

I think that most good directors and script writes come up with scripts that are not just part of the trend, so they have a longer life.

I was at the premiere in PVR, bangalore and Kamal was there. He looks dashing and trim. It was an opportunity of a lifetime and I will treasure my photo with him. The movie is really good. Kamal's Dharwad lingo is perfect and all the actors have acted well. Congrats to Ramesh arvind.

as good as sathi leelavathi?

Is it Dharwad or Hubli?

[ardsdelinq]

Dharwad and Hubli are twin cities. The accent is same over there. Kamal has even sung a song in that accent!

FUNTASTIC TREAT
Triple Worth For Your Ticket Money

Film Review :RAMA SHAMA BHAMAI

Film Review by -CNB
Date - 13th December 2005 Time - 6.00 AM

Banner - Lakshmisri Combines
Producer - K.Manju
Direction - Ramesh Aravind
Music - Gurukiran
Camera - P.K.H.Das
Cast - Kamal Hassan, Ramesh Aravind, Urvashi, Shruthi, Daisy
Boppanna, Anirudh, Dattanna, Yashwanth and others.

RAMA SHAMA BHAMA - is the currently prescribed best tonic for
laughing. All the laughing clubs in Bangalore and elsewhere can take
a long vacation and reach the theatres. In addition to a laugh riot
the film touches your heart. Perfect handling of the subject and its
narration by Ramesh, excellent performances from Kamal Hassan,
Urvashi, Shruthi, Ramesh Aravind and Daisy Boppanna makes this film
outstanding.

It is said laughter is the best medicine in the world. So what for
you are waiting? Get ready to watch this film without fail. The
engineering brain of Ramesh Aravind is in tact. He has made
workaholic preparation and kept the mood of the film. He has adapted
a new technique in narration. The introduction of characters is
superb. He has shown how important it is to keep the high level in
narration and dialogues. His linking, sinking, matching and
selecting is too good in 'Rama Shama Bhama'.

While laughing through out the film you will know the truth. Ramesh
Aravind knows how to give the injection without pain. This injection
is of high standard. Every scene is carefully handled.

The reason why Ramesh Aravind has turned out very successful is
because of the ideal caste couch and technicians he has selected.
When an actor like Kamal Hassan is ready in front of you it is one
of the finest opportunities. That has been very well utilized by the
gentleman actor who has turned director from RSB.

Another area where it occupies importance is the dialogues by
Yashwanth Sardeshpande. The comedy entertainers of course live on
histrionics and timings but what become very demanding is the apt
dialogues.

In the fourth estate there is a principle - "No story is written but
it is rewritten" before going to print. Ramesh Aravind has exactly
done it. He has rewritten the earlier versions in Tamil 'Sathi
Leelavathy' and 'Biwi No 1' in Hindi. Added fresh blood to the
muscles and made a rib tickling 'Rama Shama Bhama'.

If you miss this film you will be missing something worthwhile. Our
observation after watching this film is that Ramesh Aravind is
capable of handling a straight subject with more tidiness and taut
narration.

Rama and Shama (Ramesh Aravind and Kamal Hassan) are long time
friends. Shama catches up with Rama after a long time at the airport
on his way to Goa. Rama and Shama are just opposites in their
nature. Rama uttering a lie is with Priya at the airport. He is
caught moving with Priya but covering up suspect Shama. Rama while
lifting Priya in the bedroom receives a joint pain and the available
doctor in the hotel is called in. That is Shama the gynecologist in
the bedroom of Rama where Priya is also staying. Shama gives an
injection and also inject that the wrong doing is bad to Rama.

Rama is careless in his movements with Priya. The suspicion rise
high level in the house of Rama. His wife Bhama follows her husband
Rama. After clever duping in a few occasions Rama is caught while he
is holding the hip of Priya in an apartment. The war of words in the
house breaks up the minds. Rama stages a walk out and starts living
in Priya apartment that is what he has given her for living. Bhama
bounce back at Ram by sending her children, cows maintained in the
house and the cute darling (dog). Ram father also come to live here.
The peace of Priya is perturbed now. In a small accident the
children of Ram are responsible for curtains catching fire that
enrages the screaming Priya. The children and father of Ram leave
this place to live with Bhama. Bhama calculates a new scheme now. At
this time she comes to know Priya was liked immensely by Raja
(Anirudh). She urge for Shama to come to her help to teach a lesson
to her husband.

What is that plan, how the value of wife again tops the chart. You
have to watch. Whether it is money or pure love important the
youngsters know from it. The elders, the married ones know very
strongly in the climax that 'Katkondolu Kade Thanaka, Itkondolu Hana
Iro thanaka' (wife is the one who gives you pure affection till last
breath and the set up is there till the affluence last).

Kamalji you are incomparable. You have shown the great degree of
skill, proper timing, good dialogue you have delivered is definitely
be a talk of the town. You have given able support to our boy Ramesh
Aravind. Urvashi you deserve any award that is running at present at
Indian subcontinent.
Shruthi shows she is capable of delivering when good roles are given
to her. Daisy you are like an instant spice of MTR. You have that
ability and attitude of going cool on screen. Ramesh Aravind is at
his usual best. Dattanna is apt selection.

Gurukiran's two tunes are lovely. The song Raathri Aythu Jopana…..,
is applicable for the thickly populated countries like India and
China. This reminds the spouses from how they have to be careful in
cutting down the population. Knowingly or unknowingly Ramesh Aravind
has done a novel selection of this song.

When all these things have come superb the camera by Das is also the
high scoring point. He is like Mahendra Dhoni - flashy and catchy.

Take the entire family to this family. If your family is too big
contact Lakshmisri Combines to arrange for bunch of tickets.

Rama Shama Bhama sumne cinemage Hogramma![/tscii]
