Bombaat (Template:ErrorTemplate:Category handler Template:Translation)[1] is a 2008 Indian Kannada-language action film directed by D. Rajendra Babu (in his 50th film)[2] and produced by Rockline Venkatesh. The film stars Ganesh and Ramya.[3][4] The plot of the movie was criticized to be a hotchpotch of Telugu movies like Dhee and Aata.[5]

Plot

Template:More plot Shalini, the daughter of a police commissioner Ananthakrishnan, lands in the city only to find that a street rowdy Anand alias Ganesha is on a rampage. But little does she know that Anand is a good samaritan at heart.

Shalini's father seeks the help of Anand and makes his daughter stay with him for a month in his den. How Anand saves Shalini and what happens to the bad guys make up the rest of the story.

‘There is lot of hardwork from me. It is a new kind of cinema for me. I have lost eight kilos especially for the second half”

Ganesh worked out to play a tough guy in the film.[8] Ramya was cast as a non-resident Indian.[9] The songs were shot in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Italy.[9][10][11][12] Ramya shot for this film at the same time as the unreleased Bhimoo's Bang Bang Kids and Mussanje Maathu.[13] Ganesh got injured while doing the splits.[14] Shooting finished in March 2008.[10]

Soundtrack

The music of Bombaat was composed by Mano Murthy who previously worked with Ganesh in Mungaru Male and Cheluvina Chittara.[7] Lyrics were by Jayanth Kaikini and Kaviraj. Bangalore Mirror opined that "Amid high expectations from Mano, for a Ganesh starrer, Bombaat’s soundtrack just about manages to stay afloat.[15]

Release and reception

Bombaat was released around the same time as Ramya-starrer Antu Intu Preeti Bantu.[16] A critic from Sify called the story "water thin" and opined that "Added to it is the mother sentiment plus Mano Murthy’s rehashed tunes from his earlier films, makes it messy."[17] R G Vijayasarathy of Rediff.com gave the film a rating of two out of five stars and opined that "All this might just appeal to Ganesh's fans despite the poor script".[18] Deccan Herald said, "Bombaat is better left alone for a quickest burial at the boxoffice and one’s money better spent at bhel-puris, badushahs, chais, cappuccinos, and Cafe au Laits than let Bombaat make bheja-fry of you brains and mincemeat of your mindspace".[1] The audience criticised Ganesh's characterisation.[19] Rajendra Babu cast Ramya in Aryan (2014) after he liked her performance in this film.[20]

Box office

The initial collections were high,[21] but the film later became a box office failure after the collections dipped.[22][23][24][25] The film flopped along with Ramya's Antu Intu Preeti Bantu.[26]
