Lifu Ishtene - Kannada Movie Review


Movie Name: Lifu Ishtene
Release Date: 9 Sept. 2011
Movie Rating: 2.5/5

Director: Pawan Kumar
Producer: Jack Manu, Upendra Shetty, Yograj Bhat
Star Cast: Diganth, Samyukta Belawadi, Ramya Barna, Sindhu Loknath
Music: Mano Murthy
Camera: Jnana Murthy


Lifu Ishtene is the debut film of Pawan Kumar as a director. Earlier he used to work as an assistant director with Yograj Bhat. The film is all about a guy (Diganth as Vishal) who falls in love with many girls in his career right from school days & all of them ditch him. Picturisation of the movie is too good, especially the shooting of the songs in Leh & Ladak is awesome. Music, song lyrics & choreography is also good. But the movie is very slow, lack of energy, less comedy. The first half has some comedy & songs, so it goes well, second half is kinda boring. Diganth has done good acting & delivered good natural dialogues with lively performance. Editing is done well. As its the directors first movie, it has some flaws, but its a good start for him.

I wanted to purchase a Droid phone & my budget was 10-15k, so I was looking for a lower mid-range smart phone, after researching on internet & also using my friend's phone for one day I decided to buy this phone. Its been more than 15 days & I am liking the phone very much. Below I am listing the pros & cons of the phone, based on this one can decide on whether they want to go with this phone or not.

Pros:
* Android Phone for an affordable price, its a real value for money.
* Feature rich & Fast, Android 2.2 Froyo, though there is no official release of Android 2.3 Gingerbread for this phone, but unofficial upgrade is available on internet
* Comes with black & white panels & with 2GB mem card for free.

Cons:
* Camera quality is not so great
* No front camera, you cannot do face to face video 3G call
* With Android 2.2, battery life sucks, but with Android 2.3, battery life is much better.
* Backward compatibility for some devices not available, for Ex, I have a Samsung bluetooth headset which I am still not able to connect to my new phone, it used to work very well with my old Nokia N73
* The headset which has the control for FM does'nt have button for changing the FM station or moving to a next song or to stop the song, ... If you want to change the FM radio station then you need to unlock the phone & change the FM station thru the FM Radio application.

Over all its a good mid range smart phone which is really worth the money you pay. We can say its a higher mid range smart phone for a lower mid range price :-)
