Yes it is really NICE!!
Commercial movies may always be the name of the game for any director... But making a commercial entertainer with a serious messege embedded in between is not child's play. Director Shashank comes out for this breezy kinda offbeat script which stikes the chord immediately.
As the subtitle says "Film for Girls" it truly lives up to that. Shashank seems have done a lot of homework on how minds of teenage girls work. Subject however is not something very new... Teens falling in love early and having to face the big bad world around them with their parents worrying ...However the narration style is what impresses. The cast have done a great job. Debutant Radhika Pundit impresses and the movie is really a boon for any upcoming heroine. Shubha Poonja banking on her previous success plays second fiddle alongside Radhika playing an innocent village girl. The other two girls Manasi and Sangeetha Shetty have minor roles. There is no one as a main hero but Yash stands out among the four boys.
The director has taken care to cover all the different aspects carefully with the whole story revolving around one main character which is Chanchala (Radhika Pundit). Various stages of love carefully grafted which gives the impression the movie is mainly targetted at the yougsters between the age group of 16-22. Both the flaws as well as the merits of falling in love is shown giving each character a special significance. There is no miss in comedy too. In between the inte

------Continue--- the love stories Sharan provides comical relief playing the role of an imaginary character who keeps getting spoofed by every new girlfriend he gets. The concept thought seemingly lifted is quite new here in Sandalwood.
Major plus of the movie is ofcourse the music. Man of the moment Mano Murthy churns out yet another masterpiece here. Using Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghosal to the best possible extent Mano lends a mixture of foottapping and melody which is brilliantly picturised and edited. Teenage song marking the first day of college and Male Baruva Haagide which stands out for the brilliant locations are the songs to look out. Climax song "I love You" sung by Sonu Nigam is kept at the right place to give a perfect ending to the movie. Geleya Beku song surely has resemblenses to a popular bollywood number.Ofcourse all this would look very ordinary if not for the eccentric camera jalak by Chandrashekhar.
Some sequences especially in the second half do drag a bit which adds to the patience but the climax just sums up to a great finish. However i do not blame to censor board for their rating since the movie deals with many sensitive issues. However the strong message is surely a boon if taken in the right spirit. Hats off to the technical team for giving a good movie like Moggina Manasu and hope such works become a regular in Sandalwood. Taking simple old stories but changing the narration style is what most of the directors should adapt do and there will be no

Kannadigas are not inferior minded. You idiot who has written this is having inferior mind. Be careful while abusing one community(I mean Kannadigas) as a whole. Do not pass such bad comments on anybody in future.

So U think UR superior? on what basis are U posting such comments? Who the "F" asked Ur opinion? If U ask someone to be honest doesnt mean UR inferior. Guys like U have inferiority complex against Kannadigas and hence keep posting such crap and stupid propoganda to satisfy ur complexes
Whether its rediff or TOI or other reviews there always be a negetive stint to start with though the movie is superb. Negetive runs on these minds about kannada and its movies so they can not see whats good in them.. Chaps try to admit the things as they are and be broadminded....dont be like your ancesstors who are cheaply narrowminded fools...
