Maathaad Maathaadu Mallige
Maathaad Maathaadu Mallige Kannada , translation Speak, Speak out, Jasmine is a Kannada language film directed by Nagathihalli Chandrashekhar. Maathaad Maathaadu Mallige can be roughly transliterated from North Karnatakas colloquial Kannada as Speak, Speak out, Jasmine. Maathaad Maathaad Mallige depicts the challenges faced by the people living in rural sectors of India. Dr. Vishnuvardhans Performance and Nagathihallis Narration was much praised by critics. Dr.Vishnuvardhan was the right choice for the film, his build, looks and age made the role look strong. His Performance was emotional, graceful and touching.It is also said that it was courageous on his part to accept such a role that had no space for his action image. It is certainly one of his best performances.
It shows the everlasting marriage customs of Indian culture crafted with a small incidence taking place between husband and wife wherein Hoovaiah Dr.Vishnuvardhan tries to catch a Chitte or butterfly unsuccessfully throughout the movie which also becomes a metaphor when it comes to their own offspring. The story also depicts the Indian melodrama of diversity of woman folks. The two daughters who become literate in medium of English synonymous with globalization and not education pursue their interests and leave their family and motherland as they have to display convictions to their decisions. The third daughter although is illiterate is shown as well educated when it comes to human values. The tough Mother played by Suhasini depicts character of a rural household hardworking wife with all the knowledge given by her folk customs. The main story revolves around Hoovaiah fighting for the preservation of his motherland and culture and showing people that money in fact is just a cover of illusion when it means to earn them by selling their own Aatma or Self.Overall the movie revolves round the man who tries to get everyone into him as he grows his thoughts whenever he is faced with a challenge, but in the meanwhile he has to avoid his own saplings of fragrance somewhere on the way, and also lose some, but spreading his heart he not only wins over others but also with his own self and limitations. The movie will also be remembered for being one of very rare commercial movies which genuinely tries to address the problems of farmers such as unjudicial exploitation of cultivating lands by globalised companies. The character played by Dr.Vishnuvardhan would also be the best in his film career next to that of Mutthina Haara. ........
