Kapatadhaari Movie Review: Sumanth starrer is an investigative drama that is just not persuasive
Kapatadhaari Movie Review: Sumanth, Jayaprakash, Nasser starrer has hit the cinemas. Here s what we feel about this investigative drama. Written By Kapatadhaari Movie Review: Sumanth starrer is an investigative drama that is just not persuasive
Movie Name: Kapatadhaari
Director: Pradeep Krishnamoorthy
Rating: 2
In the initial scenes of Kapatadhaari , we are told that Gautham (Sumanth), a traffic sub-inspector, enjoys watching crime movies. An underdog traffic cop, who is trapped in a boring job, having such a favourite past-time is definitely uplifting. He is aspiring for a job promotion so that he can spice up his life. Amidst all this, he is condemned to meeting prospective brides who ask him whether he has bedded a woman before and whether he is corrupt. If you find these elements decent enough, the appeal of these scenes gives way to a rather flawed crime
Music: Simon King
This leads him to find support in a retired, alcoholic inspector Ranjit (Nasser), who was originally the investigating officer in that case. We are also introduced to GK (Jayaprakash) and another man Aleru Srinivas. The rest of the story shows the stumbling blocks in Gautham’s effort to nab the killers.

Though this is a faithful remake of the original Kannada film
Kavuladhari, efforts have been made to show thatit’s not just another commercial subject. The film does keep you engaged, retains the suspense for most part but lacks any emotional connect.
