Just Maath Maathalli - Movie Review/Sudeep, Ramya, Avinash, Rajesh, Sageethe, Keerthi Gowda, Yathiraj, Arun Sagar, Raghu

After a series of remakes, actor Sudeep is back with an original script in Just Maath Maathalli. Apart from calling the shots, he has also acted in the film with Ramya playing the female lead. JMM has some brilliant direction, great acting, refreshing background score and top notch cinematography.

In Just Maath Maathalli, a major part of the film is narrated in flashbacks. The movie starts with Siddharth (Sudeep) narrating his story to Adi (Rajesh), a businessman in a Singapore flight. Both are flying there to find love. Sid aka Siddharth is a rock star who lives for the moment. He leads a carefree life until he is spotted by Tanu (Ramya), from the point of view of Tanu thinking he is on the verge of suicide. Later, Tanu and Siddharth miss their train and gets stranded at the railway station. They become good friends and in a short period, Tanu opens up her feeling to Sid, but to our surprise, he says a big NO.

Siddharth rejects the advances of Tanu because he has a painful past. In a flashback, we see Divya (Keerthi Gowda) who is madly in love with Siddharth commits suicide when her proposal is turned down by Siddarth. From then on he loses his faith in love. But then, he gets enlightenment from a friend and decides win Tanu's heart again. Here the flashback ends. When the flight lands in Singapore, Adi invite Siddharth to his marriage with Nandini. To his surprise, Siddharth finds that Tanu is none other than Nandini. Will he win her back forms the climax of the story.

Sudeep and Ramya have excelled in their acting skills. In spite of the alleged offscreen spat between Sudeep and Ramya, their on screen chemistry is fantastic. Agile Avinash, talkative Rajesh, silent Arun Sagar give admirable performances. Music by Raghu Dixit could have been better. On the whole, Just Maath Maathalli is pleasant to watch.
