Srikanth Srinivasa feels that first half of Mr 420 is breezy with some laughs but the second half goes a tad slower. Rambo and
Snehitaru have been big releases in recent weeks and the latest Kannada release,
Mr 420, directed by Pradeep Raj, has something in common with both.
Rambo and
Mr 420 are both banking on the magic of the time-tested pairing of the main actors.
Tabala Nani and Sharan brought success to
Rambo while Ganesh and Rangayana Raghu are the uncle-nephew pairing in
Mr 420. Snehitaru revolved around a spoilt young brat and four friends who ensure all the drama.
Mr 420 is about a village bumpkin, Krishna (Ganesh), who leaves home to stay with his uncle in the city and earn a living. Uncle Ranganna (Rangayana Raghu) is a pickpocket who makes no bones about making a good living on his earnings from crime.
Krishna takes up the same 'profession' after he is robbed by some goons in the city and is
bailed out by his uncle.
