Jollydays movie review, and ask me how close it is to perfection, I will say it gets 8.5/10. This is my first Kannada movie review in my blog, but thought I will share with you my experiences of watching the Jollydays movie. I just loved watching the movie as well as reviewing it for you people! It’s a remake of the Telugu blockbuster hit movie Happy Days from the pen of Shekhar Kammula who is also the director of the film in Telugu.
Director M D Sridhar doesn’t go off the track and reproduces the original Happy Days in his Jollydays. One aspect of the film that keeps you stop blinking is that everyone can relate to the film especially the good old college days. If you are not reminded of the ragging, you will be reminded of the freedom-full hostel life or those that days you would have spent with friends teasing and ragging or the crushes you would have developed during those days. Every youth identifies him/her in the characters of Jollydays movie and the movie is successful in letting us all enjoy again the beauty of college life.
The director M D Sridhar manages very well to strike the chord with the emotions of the Kannada movie audience. The story line of the film might be thin but it runs fast on a very well written screenplay. Both on-screen as well as off-screen crew of the Jollydays movie supported the screenplay very much to make this a must watch to say the least. Jollydays movie is a heart touching experience and will certainly take you through a nostalgic feeling. If you have not experienced one, something wrong must be within you and not the movie.
Jollydays story takes off with first day of entering into an Engineering college, where the main leads start their life as engineering students, and the movies ends with last day and the farewell. Director churned in all of the teenager’s emotions in perfect proportions and takes one teenager’s life as example showing how his persona matures from the day he enters to a fighter who is willing to face the real challenges of the outside world, by the time he graduates from the college. Pictureperfect way of ending!
Coming to the technicalities: The cast chosen for Jollydays movie are new, but you agree that they are pictureperfect, because you will not see an actor in the film but see the character itself. Jollydays music is given by Micky J Mayer who has also given for the Telugu original and you would say he is apt for the Jolly Days movie. I will give 10/10 for the soothing background score and the peppy song numbers. Lyricist Kaviraj perfectly complemented Micky Meyer with his great nostalgia evoking lyrics. You will actually fail to figure out which song stands out, because all of them are so cool (probably after Mungaru Male I fell in love again with Jollydays music and songs as such). Indeed I was actually in trans for over 4 hours after watching the Jollydays movie, and no doubt the songs take 50% of the movie’s credit.
Camera work by Krishna Kumar is commendable and you will just love the places, he has shown on screen, and they are all from our own state Karnataka. Almost all of the artists performed close to perfect but special mention goes to debutante Vishwas who was outstanding. I reckon a bright future for this boy. Keep it up Vishwas!
Coming to flip side of Jollydays movie:
Weak story line (not every college goer come out with a partner heh?).
Music: Micky J Meyer

But, on the whole, Jollydays movie review outscores other Kannada movies currently in theaters and is a must watch film with loaded emotions, romance, friendship and some comedy too (defying logic though) and will find 100% favor with the youth and middle-aged people. It certainly going to break some records at the box office. Watch out!

PS:
Parents who have teenage kids may simply hate Jollydays movie for obvious reasons. I went along with my sil who has an 18yo boy and she didn't appreciate the movie as much as I could . So, make sure you have a perfect company .
