Pogaru Plot: Shiva is a violent person whose only wish in life is for his love to be reciprocated by his mother. Is his desire fulfilled? Read on to know.

Pogaru Review: Dhruva Sarja is being seen in movies after a gap of 4 years so expectations have skyrocketed. Coorgie beauty Rashmika Mandanna's comeback to Sandalwood has made Pogaru even more special for Kannadigas. Does Dhruva's latest movie live up to the expectations of the audience? You will soon find out.

Shiva's father dies in his childhood so all he wants is his mother to love him. However, a misunderstanding between the mother and son leads to Shiva turning out to a violent character. Even though he has a heart of gold, he is not a person to get influenced by anyone easily. He leads his life the way he wants. The movie has all the elements of a commercial entertainer like romance, action and family sentiment. By the time the movie ends, you know that it is Dhruva Sarja all the way as his presence dominates the screen throughout the movie. Another striking feature about the movie Pogaru is Dhruva's two avatars. You can see the kind of hard work that the action prince has put into making his body suitable to the role. The climax scene where he fights body builders is a visual treat for the fans of Dhruva Sarja.

Dhruva's performance is spellbinding and a true blue action movie freak can't help but whistle and hoot. Like I said Pogaru is a feast for all his fans. That being said, we feel Rashmika is wasted. Perhaps the entire love angle could have been avoided by the maker. But anyway, her fans will be happy to see her in a different kind of a role.

Verdict: Pogaru is a must watch for every fan of Dhruva Sarja

Rating: 3.5/5
