Puttakkana Highway is a 2011 Kannada film in the Drama genre starring Shruti and Prakash Raj in the lead roles . The film is directed by B. Suresha . Prakash Raj and Shylaja Nag have jointly produced this venture under Duet movies and Media House banner. Hamsalekha has composed the music and H. M. Ramachandra works as the cameraman. The story is based on the novel by acclaimed writer Nagathihalli Chandrashekar. The story exploits both the darker and brighter sides of the land acquisition scam. The story is set in a remote village where people make their living through farming. The movie has won the National Award for Best Regional Film for the year 2010-2011. (Wikipedia) The story takes place in Bislahalli, a remote village where people make a living through farming. They are content, till the government announces its decision to acquire land for the proposed State Highway 108. While people like Madu (Achuth Kumar) take it positively -- he opens a hotel called `Yiganeshwara Highway Hotel' -- others take to the streets. Puttakka has four acres of agricultural land, where she had buried her husband and is adamant that she won't give up the land for the highway. She goes to Bangalore to meet the chief minister, where she has a bitter experience. Disappointed, Puttakka returns to the village only to see that a bridge has been built on her land. A shocked Puttakka gets to know the realities of development when she sees her daughter getting into prostitution. The rest is how people become helpless when it comes to development. Hats off to Shruthi for her brilliant portrayal of Puttakka, a rustic woman. Equally good is Prakash Rai, who gives a comic touch to the narration as Shani Krishna. Achuth Kumar, Srinivasa Prabhu and Veena Sundar are brilliant. The real hero is H M Ramachandra, for his pleasing cinematography. Music by Hamsalekha has a desi touch. (Times of India)
