Movie Review: Gubbi Mele Brahmastra

Venkata Krishna Gubbi, known to everyone as Gubbi but wanting to be known as Krissh, is a bachelor on the lookout. He wants to have a love marriage and he also seems to have found the woman of his dreams. Unfortunately, just when it's time for happily ever after, his woman is kidnapped by a don and he has to rescue her.

This is a dark comedy that has a lot of funny moments, and an able cast to support it. The many quirks of each of the characters are entertaining and is bound to have you laughing out loud at their antics. The film has its share of funny moments and has a generous amount of one-liners that draw hoots.

Comedian Sujay Shastry makes his debut as a director with Gubbi Mele Brahmastra . He does a decent job and also hints at a possible sequel to this film. While one has seen blatant slapstick humour and loads of double entendres in Kannada comedy films, this one has a tad more cleaner approach to the genre.

Raj B Shetty seems to have an extension of his character from Ondu Motteya Kathe and he shines. Sujay, as Raj's pessimistic philosopher friend, is a hoot. Each of the cast member seems to be carefully picked. Be it Girish Shivanna as the comical inspector or Pramod Shetty as the costume wearing don, they all shine. Though, at times the gags are dragged a bit.

But, for those who like comedy, Gubbi Mele Brahmastra is going to be a treat, as it is reminiscent of some of the classics from the 80s and 90s.
