Mugulu Nage
Mugulu Nage.PR Handout

Golden Star Ganesh and Yogaraj Bhat's Mungaaru Male remains a landmark movie in the history of Kannada film industry. Following the massive success, the duo had collaborated for Gaali Pata that too was a huge hit at the box office. Now, after a gap of 10 years, they have reunited for Mugulu Nage.

Romantic movies laced with comedy have been the forte of both Yogaraj Bhat and Ganesh. Hence, people expect Mugulu Nage to be on the same lines. The trailer, teaser and songs have clearly indicated that the film has all the ingredients that their fans love to see in their flicks.

Mugulu Nage has not one, but three female leads in the form of Nikitha Narayan, Apoorva Arora and Ashika Ranganatha. Yogaraj Bhat's favourite Ananth Nag has done a pivotal role in the film, which also has Achyuth Kumar, Rangayana Raghu, Chandan Achar and others. Stars like Jaggesh, Bhavana and Amoolya have done a cameo.

V Harikrishna has composed the music for Mugulu Nage and songs like Roopasi and Kannadi Illada Orinali have struck the chords with the viewers.

Reviews:
The movie has opened to mixed reviews. People have liked the good subject and Ganesh's brilliant acting, while a section of audience have declared that the screenplay is not tight. The slow narration has not gone well with the viewers. Overall, it is said to be a movie made for youths and family audience. 

Here's how Twitterati reacted.

Priyanka: Done with he first half of #MuguluNage. The progress of the story was slow, but something was happening.
Ganesh has come out with flawless performance. Songs are okay, but it is a visual delight.
Frankly speaking, attempt is good, but the execution is bad......overall, I give 2.5/5 for the film. #Mugulunage

PopcornKannada.com: #MuguluNage - First 30mins and Last 15mins are bit pleasing. Apart from that, film goes very slow. Music is good. Rating 2.5/5
