Jogayya is the sequel of the 2005 blockbuster movie Jogi. This movie is the hat-trick hero Shivarajkumar's 100th movie. Prem has tried to do the same as Uppi's "Super" movie. Uppi has show how the horse trading is done in politics in the movie Super & Prem in this Jogayya movie has shown about the BSY's, Reddy brothers & Kumaraswamy's allegations on acquiring farmer's land in the name of Global Investor Meet, illegal way of wooing the voters. Funny parts in the movie are Yeddiyurappa wiping his face with towel when something does'nt go in his way & Kumaraswamy distributing sarees to get the votes :-)

After the "hoDi maga" rowdyism in the movie Jogi, here Jogayya realizes the sentiments of the people & stops rowdyism & goes to Mumbai to lead a peaceful life with earning money just for food & clothes. He will be looking at the cattle in a rich Belagavi Kannadiga family in Mumbai. The owner's daughter looking at his behavior, simplicity, sincere & helping nature falls in love with him. Once he will be trying to escape to Dubai with his newly made friends in Mumbai & he gets caught by the Karnataka police, coz using his name the existing underworld dons in Bengaluru have created a lot of mess in Bangalore. Later the Belagavi girl helps him to get out of all legal hassels with the help of the lawyer Pooja Gandhi. After getting out of the court Jogayya throws a shocking dialogue "Bengaluru is mine, i still own the underworld ..." For what happens next, watch the movie :-)

The first half of the movie has comedy & nice songs, so you will enjoy & time passes till the interval without notice of the time. The second half has lot of violence. In one of the scene Jogayya goes in to a killing spree holding the Machchu (long sharp wepon) & killing huge number of people. The cameraman Nandakumar has done a good job. Editing, special effects, graphics are well done in the songs & actions.

Overall, its a good family entertainer except for some violence in the second half. All the songs are good, especially "Kuri koLina somavara shanivara koiyyangilla ... " .

Its worth the movie to watch once with family.
