Reception
Songs such as "Vedanti helidanu honella mannu mannu" and '"Nine saakida gini" are excellent. A visual treat and human thoughts are spread like silk thread which shows the characteristics and need for a love by a person who loses love from his wife and lover. This movie is supposed to be inspired by the tragedy in the life of Legendary Director Puttanna Kanagal himself. Specially the song "Neene Saaakida Gini" penned by great Vijaya Narasimha is an evergreen song. Haadu Haadu is an epic of a song. The song depicts three young characters and their surging hormonal levels with brilliant ease. Vijay Bhaskar proves yet again that he is a creator extraordinaire.
