Modalasala (

Gadag and stars Yash and Bhama[1] in the lead roles. Rangayana Raghu, Tara, Avinash and Sharan feature in supporting roles.[2]

Plot

The film is about two youngsters, both of whom are quite the ideal children. Imagine a girl who makes a guy wait hoping to get her parents to approve his proposal; or a guy who says, "I’ve met the girl's parents, I see them in her eyes". These are the things most typical families dream of, as they plan their kids’ futures.

The film has its funny moments and occasionally an overdose of sentimental scenes. The director has done a fairly decent job with the narrative and Yash impresses in his role as the lovelorn urban lad. His dancing skills deserve special mention — he’s easily one of the best in Sandalwood.

New girl Bhama makes a decent debut, though Deepu, who has dubbed for her, deserves equal applause. Rangayana Raghu and Tara excel, and the film shows Raghu in a different light, as opposed to his over-the-top comical roles.

Reception

Critical response

A critic from

DNA wrote "New girl Bhama makes a decent debut, though Deepu, who has dubbed for her, deserves equal applause. Rangayana Raghu and Tara excel, the film shows Raghu in a different light, as opposed to his over-the-top comical roles".[6] A critic from Deccan Herald wrote "Venu’s camera work, which initially develops a cataract, and V Harikrishna’s score add polish to this neat film with a few cute moments. Modala Sala also makes some squirm at its climax, but then that’s again cinema".[7] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote  "The star of the film, however,  is HC Venugopal, the cinematographer, by doing away with artificial lighting, but manages to show natural images as if he has invented some new colours. (A few trees are actually painted in artificial colour in one scene). The picturesque Coorg (hills, trees and waterfalls) gets a new showcase in his frames. The dialogues meander between being mundane and striking. But it is mostly the former. Easily avoidable".[8]
