Kaanchaana
''Kaanchaana'' is a 2011 Indian Kannada-language film directed by Sri Ganesh, starring Diganth, Ragini Dwivedi and Kiran Srinivas in lead roles. Cast Music Reception Critical response Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana from ''Rediff.com'' scored the film at 1 out of 5 stars and says "This is one film that Diganth would like to forget as it adds nothing to the actor in him. His varried getups do nothing to impress nor do they add to the plot . Kiran Sreenivas's character leaves him with little scope to exhibit his acting skills. Leading lady Ragini has very little to do as well". BSS from Deccan Herald wrote "Two good-looking people are thrown together but there is zero chemistry. It is left to Nani and Satish to lift the film, which they do within the limits set by their roles. ‘Kaanchaana’ stays true to its capricious nature - a club number picturised on Rangayana Raghu giving ample proof. Some homework and a calmer mind at the helm would have helped the film some ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The film was released on 21 October 2011. Cast *Santhosh as Krishna *Bhoomika as Nanda *Ravi Teja as Ravi *Honnavalli Krishna *Shivaram *Karibasavaiah Reception Critical response A critic from ''The New Indian Express'' wrote "The main disadvantage is the absence of humour which is required to break the monotony. The scene where Honnavalli Krishna attempts to enter a temple premises in an inebriated condition fails to impress even the front benchers. All in all, one needs a lot of patience to watch this flick". B S Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote "Santosh, with already a few films under the belt, is good as Bandi Krishna. Bhoomika takes a while to grow on the audience, but projects hauteur very well. Someone with a more mature voice would have helped her performance.Ishta starts off with immense poten ...
