Srikanth Srinivasa feels Kannada film Nandisha is a disappointingly mediocre film from an established director.
Director Saiprakash's last release of 2012 is a remake of the Malayalam hit
Thilakam.
Nandisha does not live up to the top billing it got, mostly because comedian Komal is appearing in a movie for the first time after the stupendous success of
Govindaya Namaha earlier this year.
The film is about a couple whose young son Nandisha goes missing in a fair. The couple go in search of the boy who is now a grown up man. At an orphanage, they find a mentally challenged man who is just like their son.
Nandisha behaves like a small boy and creates all sorts of trouble for the villagers and his parents. His hobby is collecting dhotis, leading to comical situations in the village as he snatches them from people who wear them.
Kavya (Malavika) is in love with
Nandisha, much against the wishes of her uncle who wants to marry her himself. Nandisha begins slowly to regain his memory, and says he is actually Vishnuvardhan. His earlier life then unfolds.
