Adhyaksha Film

[Ceumar Pee]

Thefilm begins with police arriving at Shivarudre Gowda's (P. Ravi Shankar) house questioning him about the killing of his daughter Aishwarya (Hebah Patel) because she ran away with the guy she loved. Chandru (Sharan) and Narayana (Chikkanna) are two friends who are the leaders of a group called Chi Thu Sangha. Chandru falls in love with Kalyani (Asmita Sood) who is a teacher at a school. Chandru writes a love letter to her, but wants someone to go give it to her which is when he finds Aishwarya. Aishwarya gives the letter to her teacher to which the teacher refuses his proposal but Aishwarya doesn't reveal it to Chandru.

Gowda fixes a marriage for Aishwarya, but she is not willing to marry because of her desire to study further. Despite her attempts, nothing stops her marriage. Her marriage was posted on a billboard and Chandru and Narayana decide to stop it. They go to the police station and threaten the police that they will go to the commissioner. The police inspector talks to Gowda and makes him stop the marriage. This ignites love in heart of Aishwarya for Chandru. She tricks him into getting many gifts to her in the name of Kalyani. One day, Aishwarya delivers the news to Chandru that Kalyani is getting married. He decides to move on in life. He debates with Shivarudre Gowda on organizing record dance during village festival and succeeds in doing so. On the day of fest, seeing her draped in a sari, he falls in love with her. On the fest, Gowda takes on Chandru's challenge and dances to modern songs. The same night, the police reveal to him that the person who stopped Aishwarya's marriage was Chandru.

A day later he tells her about his love for her but she ignores him and says no to test his patience. Chandru walks away listening to a sad song when a gang comes and bashes him. He later finds out that it was Shivarudre Gowda's gang of goons who attacked him. So, Chandru and Narayana decide to steal Gowda's gun what he considers his 'soul'. They get into trouble having stolen it. Chandru returns the gun on Aishwarya's insistence without anyone knowing. Aishwarya's mother, aware of their affair, warns her that this is not correct and she should stop it. Gowda's cow falls into a well when he goes out of town and Chandru helps to get it out. One night, Chandru stays with Aishwarya in her house and they see her father sleepwalking and again the following morning too. This time he is awake but Chandru thinks he's sleepwalking again and so he tells Gowda about liking his daughter. Once he finds out that he is indeed awake, he runs out of that house.

Gowda makes his daughter promise that she would marry a boy of his choice. They fix a marriage for Aishwarya but on the night before her marriage, she decides to run away with Chandru. When running away at night, they see her father and he tells them to run away and gives them some money so that they never come back. Shivarudre Gowda wants Chandru and Aishwarya to run away because he doesn't want Aishwarya to marry the guy he has chosen for her and he can't stop her marriage because he has too much respect in his village. He watches them get married and then he walks home with blood on his shirt (the blood is of a goat that he killed) and lies to everyone that he killed his daughter because of his reputation. Chandru and Aishwarya return though and ruin Shivarudre Gowda's plans and Chandru stated that he returned because his father offered him more money. The film ends with Gowda and Chandru laughing happily.

Sharan must have realised that his strength lies in comedy and churning out comedy films that appeal to masses more than multiplex-goers. His latest movie Adhyaksha has been directed by Nanda Kishore, maker of Jailalitha, starring Sharan.

However, the song has been deleted following a court directive and the title too changed. One positive thing about the film is its concern about teen marriage that is prevalent in rural areas and the director addresses the issue with a comedy touch

Adhyaksha, released in 2014, was an impressive remake of the Tamil rural comedy drama Varthapadatha Valibar Sangam. Though not on par with it, the Kannada adaptation with the Sharan-Chikkanna combination did a fine job delivering the laughs. A decade later, Upadhyaksha is a film that wants to ride on the same template of Adhyaksha and provide a launchpad for seasoned comedian Chikkanna to turn hero.

The story is set in a village called Gejjepura, where Narayana (Chikkanna) a.k.a Upadhyaksha (meaning vice-president), is now in charge of the Chi. Thu Association, which has only happy-go-lucky members. Adhyaksha (Sharan), the president, is living elsewhere after eloping and marrying the daughter of Shivarudregowda (Ravi Shankar), the village leader.

Sharan steals the show with his brilliant mannerisms and dialogue delivery. Chikkanna's comic timing is excellent. Though Raksha does a fairly decent job, she seems to get lost amidst Sharan and Chikkanna. Ravishankar is terrific in his portrayal of the village head. He's shown that he can do it all, be it comedy, dance or action. Arjun Janya's melodies are catchy; camerawork by Prakash is good.

If you're in the mood for some laughs, Adhyaksha is not going to disappoint you. A remake of Tamil movie Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangham, it keeps you entertained from the word go. Boasting of a tight script and narration, it's is a brilliant adaptation of the Tamil film; only the setting is different. Rib-tickling dialogues by Prashanth Rajappa leave one asking for more.

Shivarudre Gowda (Ravishankar) is a powerful leader in a village called Gejjepura. Chandrashekhara Gowda (Sharan) and Narayana (Chikkanna) are the president and vice-president of the association Chi Thu Sangha (Chinthe Illada Thund Haikla Sangha). The harmless duo create havoc in the village with their antics. Chandrashekhara falls in love with Aishwarya (Raksha), daughter of Shivarudre Gowda. And of course, he doesn't approve of the relationship. Throwing caution to the wind, the lovers elope, leaving Shivarudre Gowda furious. Not one to take things lying down, the enraged father goes in search of them, armed with a gun. The entire village is shocked when he says that he has shot his daughter and her lover. Police want to see the spot where he killed them. After a long trek, they reach the place only to find the duo alive. The account of their survival, interspersed with some excellent comic sequences, forms the rest of the story.

Adhyaksha in America, directed by Yoganand Muddan, is not a sequel to Sharan's hit film Adhyaksha. There is no connection or continuation to the first part. This is a remake of the 2015 Malayalam film Two Countries, which was also remade in Telugu with Sunil in the lead.
