For those born in the 1970s, Dooradarshana will take them back to their childhood days when India was witnessing a magical phenomenon called television (TV).

Entertainment

The history and the time are essential for the story. The movie eventually falls flat just like the services of the Doordarshan TV channel.

Entertainment

Dooradarshana is set in the 1980s. The story is simple yet complicated. It revolves around Ramakrishna Bhat (Sundar Veena), a wealthy and greedy person.

Entertainment

It is tucked with some unnecessary drama that is stretched to an extent that it starts disconnecting from the sole purpose of the film.

Entertainment

A love story and rivalry between two childhood friends, Manu and Kitty (played by Pruthvee Ambar and Ugram Manju) runs parallelly.

Entertainment

Director Sukesh Shetty has done everything in his best to make it look like the 1980s but the output falls short to elevate the experience.

Entertainment

If there is something that is a delight to watch in Dooradarshana, then it is the performances of the lead actors Sundar Veena and Pruthvee.

Entertainment

Ayaana as Mythri looks pretty and Ugramm Manju is as intense as ever. The rest are fillers.

Entertainment

A couple of numbers scored by Vasuki Vaibhav fit well but none leaves an everlasting experience.
