Thaakath
''Thaakath'' () is a 2009 Indian Kannada-language film directed by M S Ramesh, starring Duniya Vijay and Shubha Poonja. Plot Cast Music Reception R G Vijayasarathy of ''Rediff.com'' scored the film at 1 out of 5 stars and says "Vijay's performance in Taakat is nothing to write home about though he excels in the action sequences. Shubha Poonja's characterisation is weak and except for Avinash's performance, there's nothing much to say here. Even veterans like Rangayana Raghu, Shobharaj, Sathyajit and Sanketh Kashi fail to impress. Surprisingly even music director Guru Kiran has come out with weak numbers. The camera work too is ordinary". A critic from ''The New Indian Express'' wrote "Mandya Ramesh, as a hijra, has also acted well. Music director Gurukiran has composed lilting music for two songs Bhagavantha Syaana and Kannambaadiya. Thakath is worth watching if you are an action-movie buff".

But what slows the film at times is Prashant and Muralidhar's incapability to shoulder the scenes effectively. Try ''Anjadiru'' if you are bored of the regular stuff but do not expect a miracle". R.

Slum Bala is a must-see film for all those who love good and realistic cinema". Bangalore Mirror wrote "A disappointment for Vijay’s fans is the absence of daring stunts he is known for. The film is a den of thieves. Apart from the mother and the love interest of Bala (played by Shuba Poonja), every other character is either corrupt or has a negative shade.
