Director Sridhar could have done a better job of a lively story, but has ended up with boring narration, silly sequences and a crude script. With Vijaya Raghavendra in the lead, the director can't be excused for the mediocre flow of the story, which needs to be cut by at least 30 minutes.
It's the story of Karanji, a band troupe, headed by Viji (Vijaya Raghavendra), which struggles to grow as it faces one problem after the other. First, it faces embarrassment in a hotel when the band members sing a Kannada number. Then there is rift among the members when Viji gets to know Vasumathi (Gauri Karnik). The troupe also faces the problem of finding a female singer for `Music Challenge 2008' contest. But it comes out of all the problems and wins laurels. How?
Vijay Raghavendra has given a good performance. Gauri Karnik should improve. Camera by Guru Prashant is okay. Veera Samarth has given a couple of catchy tunes.
