    • Lift Kodla (transl. Shall I drop you off?) is a 2010 Indian Kannada-language comedy drama film directed by Ashok Kashyap and starring Jaggesh and Komal. It is a remake of the Telugu-language film Mee Sreyobhilashi (2007), which itself is based on the Japanese film Ikinai (1998). The film deals with the topic of suicides and was released a day after television actors Indudhar and Hema committed suicide. The film was a box office success and ran for more than four weeks in theatres.


    Plot


    The film follows Krishna (Jaggesh) and how he prevents a group of ten bus passengers (including Ring Road Gowda played by Komal) travelling from Bangalore to Kodachadri Hills from committing suicide.


    Cast




    Production


    After the success of Manmatha (2007), brothers Jaggesh and Komal starred together in this film. Archanna Guptaa plays a rich girl who softens out in the end.


    Soundtrack



    The music was composed by V. Manohar. The song "Ondu Maathu" is plagiarised/translated from the song "Oru Vaarthai Solla" from the Tamil film Ayyaa (2005). The song "Chirunavvulatho Brathakali" from Mee Sreyobhilashi was reused as "Manasondu Iddare Marga" with S. P. Balasubrahmanyam singing both versions.


    Reception


    A critic from The New Indian Express wrote that "Director Ashok Kashyap has faithfully followed the original version. Had this film released a few years earlier, some of the people who had committed suicide might have changed their minds". V. S. Rajapur from IANS rated the film 2+1⁄2 out of 5 stars and wrote that "Lift Kodla is a well made film - it has a good story, content, technical values and neat performances". A critic from Filmibeat wrote that "The movie is a mirror to reality. Don't miss the movie". A critic from Indiaglitz rated the film 7+1⁄2 out of 10 and wrote that "This is a must watch film for those who are planning to end their life. Live your life full and for the deep neck problems suicide is not the answer". A critic from Chitraloka wrote that "Lift Kodla is a film that no self-respecting Kannada film goers would want to miss".
