Crazy Kutumba - Movie Review/Ramesh, Sanathini, Anant Nag, Dhanya, Rajanikanth

Crazy Kutumba has a simple yet brilliant plot. The movie narrates the travails, trauma and humiliation a middle-class family from a backward region faces in the fast metro Bangalore (now Bengaluru).

Story: The plot is about a dysfunctional family from a small village Balekundri in Belgaum district whivh travels all the way to Bangalore to participate in a reality show. The family is headed by an alcoholic Mallappagowda Patil (Anant Nag), his son Shankaragowda Patil (Ramesh), an inventive car mechanic, his wife Sumathi (Sanathini), Gowri (Dhanya) his nubile daughter, brother Bhimya (Veera Shankar) and brother-in-law Devaraj (Rajanikanth), a smooth-talking thief. So when Gowri gets selected for a reality show in the city, the entire family comes to Bangalore.

The rest of the story narrates the different obstacles and happenings in this long journey. Will the daughter win the reality show? Watch out in the movie!

The film has a lot of comedy that provides hearty laughs. The use of the north Karnataka accent in the film is perfect. And all the characters in the film are natural and don't go overboard with their comedy or emotions.

Crazy Kutumba is the remake of De Dhakka (Marathi), which was again an adaptation of the Hollywood flick Little Miss Sunshine. Director Rama Murthy has handled the climax very well and has brought in the local flavour in a manner that is quite appealing.

Ramesh Arvind is brilliant as a poor, struggling mechanic while veteran actor Anant Nag is perfect for the role of a drunkard father. Comedians Umesh and Karibasavayya, newcomers Sanathini, Natana Rajanikanth, actors Veera Shankar, Vijayakumar and child artist Dhanya have played their parts very well. Ricky Kej's music is good and classical.

On the whole, Crazy Kutumba is a wholesome family entertainer.
