Yograj Bhat and Duniya Vijay team up and what we get is Dana Kaayonu. It is not a regular Yograj Bhat film and it is also not a regular Duniya Vijay film. But the outcome is fantastic. The story has many twists and turns and the characters of people change with each different twist. The change in behaviour is shocking but in a film it makes for a great watch.

Duniya Vijay plays a cattle herder and Priyamani a police aspirant. Both are from poor families that live in a village. The village headman is constantly trying to kick out Vijay and his family from the village. But they somehow manage to resist it. Soon a strange situation develops. A representative of a foreign company comes to the village and finds out that there is a single rare breed of cattle. It belongs to Vijay. Suddenly everyone in the village is after the bull. The bull has its own love story going on and what you get is an interesting mix of emotional upheavals, dramatic events and a surprising twists. The film probes the question whether it is humans who are good or the animals.

Duniya Vijay, Priyamani, Suchendra Prasad, Rangayana Raghu, Biradara and others give excellent performances. Biradara will win rave applause for his role. He looks and acts every bit a real character.

The songs in the film are top class. Harikrishna gives foot tapping tunes and Yograj Bhat has penned some memorable lines in the lyrics. Deepu S Kumar's editing gives the film a fast narrative and Sugnan's photography is breathtaking. The scenes involving the cattle is shot brilliantly.

Dana Kayonu is a good film for fans of both Bhat and Vijay. The regular film audience will get to see something really "different". This is not a regular film but at the same time it is entertaining and gives some food for thought.Chitraloka Rating - 3.5/5

Power Minister D K Shivakumar on Saturday night released the songs of 'Duniya' Vijay starrer 'Johnny Johnny Yes Papa' in Bangalore. The songs of the film has been composed by Ajaneesh Lokanath and Dhananjay Ranjan has written the lyrics for all the songs of the film.

'Johnny Johnny Yes Papa' is directed by Preetham Gubbi and Preetham earlier directed actor 'Duniya' Vijay in 'Johnny Mera Naam' produced by Jayanna. Now the duo have made a comeback with 'Johnny Johnny Yes Papa'. Jayanna is distributing the film.

The film is being produced by Vijay under Duniya Talkies production house. The film stars Vijay, Rachita Ram, Sadhu Kokila, Rangayana Raghu and others in prominent roles.

Soori directed “Duniya’ not only stands up to its huge expectations, but it also comes as a fresh offering for the quality conscious Kannada film audience who are now in the mood to encourage new talents.

It is a raw, authentic and stunning presentation of the crude, mean and struggling world of the people living in slums, bad and brawny underworld where the fittest and meanest will survive. Soori has not left out on the commercial elements, but he has made a stunner which disturbs you and makes you think of the world unknown to many people.

From the first sequence it is the film of director and other technical crew of the film. This is not to undermine the efforts of actors like Vijay, Rashmi who are freshers. And there is this irrepressible Rangayana Raghu, Mico Nagaraj and Kishor to put in the best efforts. Even new artists who have acted in the roles of loose Mada, Petrol, Dopu have remarkably put their footprints in the film.

It is difficult to pin point one great strength of Duniya, but it is certain that the cinematographic work of the film will be spoken about for more number of days in future. Sathya Hegde who was working for many corporate ad films and feature films like Masala, Yeshwanth has certainly done a great job. He makes a great impact in his work where he uses minimum lighting requirement to register a major impact.

Shooting this type of film in a limited space should have been a great challenge for him, but Sathya has accomplished a achievement of sorts in the film. And Sadhu Kokila has excelled in his background score.

Totally Duniya is a must watch for all section of film fans who wants to see something different and authentic.
