'Maleyali'...Mungaru 'Jotheyali': Review 

As known Preetham Gubbi will not choose difficult stories for his film, but the way he presents to us is different. For gods grace his first film (Haage Summane) didn't do well in box-office, due to usage of Mungaru Male's success. His effort was less their, but in Maleyali Jotheyali, he has given his best in every respect.

Though here to Gubbi has taken many of Ganesh's past hit movies dialogues, including Mungaru Male, his idea of bringing Amoolya for a song has worked out for some extent. He should've been introduced some more innovative ideas for the script and dialogues. The main plus points for the film is Ganesh's acting, Gubbi's(little) direction, Krishna 's Camerawork, Harikrishna's music, and off course good climax. Other than these things no new things can be found in the film, same old dialogues, Devadas Rabbit, triangle love……

Preetham(Ganesh) a decent, crazy and a immature guy and a rich father's son. His father is compulsive about superstitious beliefs; he will send his son Preetham to Sakaleshpura. Preetham aims at finding bride for himself, he meets Anjali(Yuvika Chowdary) who has come to sell her ancestral house and also he meets Sandhya(Anjana Sukhani) a local estate owners daughter and who hates marriage. Preetham takes chance to fall in love with Sandhya, where he takes Anjali's help, but fortunately Preetham will realize that he is in love with Anjali. Anjali go away from these two without informing anyone. Preetham decides to find Anjali and take her to Bengalooru. Whom will Preetham marry's is Maleyali Jotheyali.

As usual Ganesh performed well, his second step in industry as producer is a good sign for KFI. Yuvika Chowdary and Anjana Sukhani are not much performed well, among them Anjana shines in beauty and Yuvika shines in acting. Rangayana Raghu, Sudharani, and other characters done their work accordingly.

Direction is good; Gubbi has lot more to follow to be a successful director. Other than a few monotonous things in the movie, Maleyali Jotheyali is a good family entertainer like Mungaru Male.
