Oru Melliya Kodu (Tamil) resp. AMR's Game (Kannada) is a 2016 mystery film directed by A. M. R. Ramesh. This movie is an unofficial remake of the 2012 Spanish thriller El Cuerpo (Spanish title) also known as The Body.[1][2] The film features Arjun Sarja, Shaam and Manisha Koirala in the leading roles, while Ilaiyaraaja composed the soundtrack. Simultaneously made in Tamil under the title Oru Melliya Kodu, the film is likely to release in 1 April 2016.[3]

Cast

Production

Ramesh had narrated the story to Arjun who agreed to work on the film and helped contact Manisha Koirala about playing the film's leading female role. Shaam was selected to play the film's main antagonist, a role initially planned to be played by the director himself.[4] Arjun also helped the makers get in touch with composer Ilaiyaraaja to compose two songs for the film.[5] The team shot in Chennai in February 2015, with Oru Melliya Kodu, a dialogue taken from Gautham Menon's Yennai Arindhaal (2015), adapted as the film's Tamil title.[6]

In April 2015, actress Kushboo was approached to play Arjun's wife in the film but turned down the offer. The actress later sought a public clarification from the team if the story was based on the death of Indian businesswoman, Sunanda Pushkar, and urged the team to narrate the story with sensitivity. Ramesh, however, refused to confirm Kushboo's allegations and turned down her request of divulging the film's plot to the media.[7][8] During December 2015, the director revealed that production was complete and that post-production and censoring works were ongoing.[9]

Release

Kannada version

Times of India wrote that "the film is engaging and makes for a good watch" and "This non-linear narrative holds the viewer gripped."[10] The Hindu wrote "The slow paced narration, which is unusual for Kannada audience, uses sound and visuals to get the needed effect, with Ilayaraja’s music score succeeding in creating the mood."[11] Chitraloka wrote "Game is a new kind of film for Sandalwood that will thrill all kinds of audience. Enjoy the show."[12]
