Ravike Prasanga, directed by Santosh Kodenkeri, is a comedy film that tells the story of Sanvi, a woman who wants to impress an NRI boy with a fancy designer blouse. However, her plan goes awry when she faces problems with the tailor, the police, and the court. The film is a hilarious flick that also conveys a message to the youth, the professionals, and the parents.
The film begins with a Yakshagana performance in a village, where Sanvi, played by Geetha Bharathi Bhat, arrives at a tailor shop. She then goes to the police station with a blouse in her hand, claiming that the tailor has cheated her. The police mistake her for a rape victim and summon the tailor, Chandranna, played by Sampath Maitreya. The film then shows a flashback of how Sanvi’s parents have brought 32 marriage proposals for her, but none of them worked out. Her mother, Sarojamma, played by Padmaja Rao, asks her to get ready for an NRI boy, and Sanvi decides to get a designer blouse stitched by Chandranna. What follows is a series of comic events that lead Sanvi to the consumer court, where she meets a young lawyer, Rakesh Maiya. How Sanvi gets justice and who marries her forms the rest of the story.
The film has a talented cast and witty dialogues
The film’s strength lies in its cast and dialogues, which make the audience laugh and think. Geetha Bharathi Bhat delivers a superb performance as Sanvi, a spirited and confident woman who stands up for herself. She brings out the humor and the emotion of her character with ease. Sampath Maitreya is equally impressive as Chandranna, a ladies’ tailor who has a knack for making blouses. He has some of the best one-liners in the film, which he delivers with perfect timing and expression. Padmaja Rao, as Sanvi’s mother, is hilarious as a woman who threatens to commit suicide every now and then. Rakesh Maiya, as the lawyer, is convincing as a naive and nervous professional who tries to help Sanvi. Suman Ranganath, as the judge, adds glamour and grace to the film.
The film has a message for the society
The film, apart from being a comedy, also has a message for the society. It shows how women are pressured to look good and impress others, especially for marriage. It also shows how the legal system can be manipulated and misused by some people. It also shows how the parents should support and respect their children’s choices and aspirations. The film does not preach or moralize, but rather presents these issues in a light-hearted and humorous way.
The film’s drawback is its length, which is over two and a half hours. The film could have been trimmed and edited to make it more crisp and engaging. The film also has some unnecessary songs and scenes, which could have been avoided.
Overall, Ravike Prasanga is a comedy film that offers entertainment and enlightenment. It has a simple and relatable story, a talented cast, and witty dialogues. It is a film that can be enjoyed by all age groups, as it has a message for everyone.
