Director Arvind Kuplikar doesn’t disappoint Sanchari Vijay and the audience with his excellent film making skills.The movie is produced by Nagaraj Somayaji .This movie has a great assemble of seasoned theatre artists in the star cast
‘ Puksatte lifu’ is about a honest petty key maker Shah Jahan , is the sole bread winner of the family .His life takes a turn when he accidentally encounters a set of policemen and becomes an accomplice in their crimes .

Arvind Kuplikar has executed this roller coaster ride excellently with fun and dark comedy .
Sanchari Vijay excels in the role of Shah Jahan and makes us emotional too . Achyuth kumar needs no mention when it comes to his acting skills as he carries his character ‘Singam Boregowda’ effortlessly through out the movie.Rangayana Raghu has a different kind of role and is not type cast .Matangi Prasan’s role as Sharada, love interest of Shah Jahan , has enough scope and is appreciative .
Cinematography by Advaitha Gurumurthy is excellent , so is the background music by Poornachandra Tejaswi. Editing by Suresh Armugam and music direction by Vasu Dixit compliment this crispy narrated tale of two hours .Arvind Kuplikar as petty thief Vinay Mallya is exemplary .
