Jackie (2010)

I went to this movie on the first day with bare minimum expectations of a Puneeth Rajkumar film. And boy, was I in for a surprise! This tightly screen-played film keeps you on the edge of your seat, while the technicalities are sure to blow you away. Have watched it 4 times now, and intend to make the count to half-a-dozen at the earliest.

The story is simple enough, that of a young chap trying to make a quick buck by whatever chances he gets. Life takes a sudden turn for him as he's held responsible for the local girl who goes missing overnight. The rest of the story is how he tracks the girl. Director Soori's presentation is to lauded for making the perfect commercial cinema with his trusted team consisting of Satya Hegde, Deepu S Kumar and Shashidhar Adapa. Yograj Bhat's quirky lyrics are just the icing on the cake.
