Usire (film)
Usire (transl. From the heart) is a 2001 Indian Kannada-language romance drama film directed by A. X. Prabhu. The film stars V. Ravichandran along with Rachana Banerjee and Prakash Raj in prominent roles. The film is a remake of the Tamil film Bharathi Kannamma (1997), directed by Cheran. The film was produced by Rockline Venkatesh and the music was composed by Ilaiyaraaja. The film, upon release, met with an average response at the box office. Cast
ProductionPrabhu Solomon had wanted Shiva Rajkumar to play the lead role, and he lamented that miscasting Ravichandran in the leading role instead, worked against the viability of the film.[1] SoundtrackAll the songs are composed and scored by Ilaiyaraaja. The lyrics were written by K. Kalyan.[2]
ReceptionA critic from Chitraloka wrote that "It is an excellent assorted sweet box. What is unfortunate is the tragedy part of the film. Yet it is a fine mixture of sentiments, love, comedy and tolerable music. The high point of the film is superb performance by Ravichandran, Prakash Rai and Rachana".[3] A critic from Sify wrote that "On the whole the film has been handled reasonably well by debutant director A.X.Prabhu".[4] References
