Sidda Ganga Mahatme--Review

Yes, we have proofs which shows that belief of our traditional is ‘Real'. In such beliefs, the story of a mutt, which is 700 years old, where 102 years Sri Sri Shivakumara Swamiji is pontiff of the mutt. The story of this mutt has been effectively portrayed by the director Omkar, he has taken keen carefulness in portraying this documentary film
The film from the origins of the mutt, which is been started by Gosala Siddeshwar and it was later reinforced by various saints including Gosala Chennabasaveshwara, Siddalingeshwara, Ataavi Swamy, Uddyana Swami as well as Shivakumara Swamiji. The story of the mutt is being narrated by Shivakumara Swamiji in his book Siddaganga.
Keeping this as the base of the film Omkar has portrayed the film neatly and effectively, music director Yuvaraj and Camera person PKH Das has joined their hand to make the film effective. The movie has only the hill spots, which also includes the scenes inside the mutt, cameraman tried hard to avoid showing the modern stuffs like electric poles, vehicle or other forms.
Gosala Siddeshwara's character is done by Srinivas Murthy who has done effectively, Sridhar is done the role of Siddalingeshwara, Ataavi Swamy's role is being done by Suchindra Prasad who seems to be good compared to others. His body language and voice intonation sits perfectly to his role.
Madan a new face to film industry is ok in his role of Shivakumara Swamiji, other actors including Shivakumar, Karibasavaiah, Bank Janardhan, Dodanna, are also well in their way of acting.
