Siddhu (film)

Siddhu is a 2005 Indian Kannada-language action drama film directed by Mahesh Sukhadhare and starring Murali and Deepu. The film was a box office failure. The film is inspired by the German film Run Lola Run (1998).

Cast

Production

Murali signed the film before completing his previous film Yashwanth (2003). S. P. Balasubrahmanyam and Prakash Raj were initially considered to act in the film.

Murali did all the stunts himself. The first schedule was shot in Bangalore. A month later, a chase sequence was also shot in Bangalore. Hindi actor Akhilendra Mishra stars in the film. In the climax, Deepu carries a bag containing 1000-rupee notes amounting up to three crore rupees. The makers of the film received backlash since the 1000-rupee note was worth only 2 rupees in the black market.

Soundtrack

The music is composed by R. P. Patnaik.

Reception

A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "For Murali fans, this is good stuff. For others, still very well presented fare". A critic from Viggy wrote that "In a nutshell, Siddu is a film that doesn't test your patience for sure and lives up to the expectations". S. N. Deepak of Deccan Herald wrote "Mahesh Sukhadhare, who earlier directed Sambhrama, Sainika and Shivarajkumar-starrer Sarvabhouma, has taken up a story which appeals to youth. But, it is the usual yarn in the second half".
