Kalakaar, my life's experience: Review 

If a new director is making a movie, he needs to select a story which is close to his life, which helps him to give a better movie, same is done by Harish Raj, who has acted in 'Danda Pindagalu' mega-serial, directed by Pani Ramachandra.

Hari(Harish Raj) who wants to be a actor, he tries his best level to get the chance, where he his not supported by his family members, Hari friends support to him, but every attempt in life fails. Financial problems makes him to leave the house. This makes him to get a chance in film industry, as a clap-boy, later he will get a lead role in the movie by chance. He will be in love with his girl(Radhika Gandhi), but film-actress(Suman Ranganath)'s eye will be set on Hari. Whom Hari marry's is 'Kalakaar'.

The director cum actor Harish Raj has tried to show the 'Colorful' life of the film-industry, the situations in the movie makes us to feel that the story is related to Harish itself, who is in industry from past one decade. As a actor in the movie he has performed best, Radhika Gandhi is better compared to her previous movie(Chikkamagalura Chikkamallige), but need much more home-work, Suman Ranganath is superb as a actress in the movie. Supporting actors Dwarakish, Avinash, Sudha Narasimharaju, Dharma and others are done their work. Music scores marks in three songs, lyrics too is good, H.M. Ramachandra's cimematography work is neatly done. Editing, dance is added benefit to the movie.

First half is not good, but second half of the movie is wonderful. Overall 'Kalakaar' is a best movie in recent time. So don't miss it.
