Cast
ProductionInitially titled as Punyathmaru, the director rechristened the film title to be same as that of the original version during the launch of the film.[3] The filming took place at a brisk pace in and around Goa and parts of Karnataka such as Bangalore, Mysore and Srirangapatna.[4] Soundtrack
Arjun Janya composed the film's background score and music for its soundtrack. The album consists of four tracks, the lyrics for which were penned by Naveen, Hemanth, K. Kalyan and Chandan Shetty.
ReceptionCritical responseA critic from The Times of India rated the film two out of five stars and wrote that "This Kannada version of Tamil movie Goa offers nothing extra ordinary. Sharmiela Mandre steals the show with a graceful performance. Sonu Gowda is good. The performance of Komal, Tarun and Sriki fail to lift the spirit. Arjun Janya offers some foot-tapping songs. Rajesh’s camera work is good".[5] A critic from Vijaya Karnataka gave the film the same rating and wrote that "Of the three, Komal's acting can be given the highest marks. The acting of Sriki, Tarun, Sharmila Mandre also attracts attention. Shobharaj and Ramesh Bhatt have done their given role smartly. However, the film's story, dialogue, narration, making, sequence of scenes etc. are inadequate. So it will be difficult to see Goa on screen".[6] References
