Plot

Cast

Production

The film began production in mid-2009.[1] Supreetha, who was cast as the main heroine, initially left the film due to date issues and a leg fracture. Shubha Poonja was brought in as her replacement but after a few days of shoot, she was replaced by Supreetha.[2] Malavika was reported to be the film's second heroine.[3] The film was ready for release at the end of 2010.[4]

Soundtrack

The songs were composed by Raja Ramesh and Vidyasagar.[5] The songs "College Generation", "Gundu Goli Kanne", and "Badalavaneyu Nirantharavilli" were reused from "Kalluri Generation", "Goligundu Kanu" and "Maatram Ondre" from the original, respectively.[6]

All lyrics are written by Ramnarayan.

Reception

A critic from IANS wrote that "Puthra is an ordinary film despite a good story and neat performances from the two lead male actors".[7] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote that "Diganthh finally has a good film to his credit that had not originated from the Yograj Bhat camp. Putra is directed by veteran V Umakanth who manages to extract good performances from at least half-a-dozen actors".[8] A critic from Indiaglitz rated the film 6+1⁄2 out of 10 and wrote that "A good story and performance better from usual ruts!"[9]
