    10/10
    Pure class Dr.Rajkumar
    This one is undoubtedly one of the best movies of Kannada language. This movie still mesmerizes each and everyone even after 40+ years after its initial release. What a performance by the evergreen Dr.Rajkumar. This is a story of riches to rags. A rich man, a true human serves all his people donates all his wealth, at the end the same people forget him. Being too good can't be too bad for yourself. This movie makes you think about true Values of life. Don't think twice before you do good, but do think twice on who you do good to. This movie has re-released several times, and still runs in packed houses. Long live Kannada movies. Acting 10/10 Direction 10/10 Story 10/10 Music 10/10.
