Sihigali (transl. Sweet air) is a 2010 Indian Kannada-language drama film directed and written by Lekhan. The film stars Sriimurali and Sherin, with Thulasi Shivamani and Sharan in supporting roles.[1]

Cast

Production

Debutant director Lekhan opted to make his first film and chose to focus on the mother-son relationship. Actress Sherin made a comeback after a brief absence from acting through the project, and shot for forty days.[2]

Soundtrack

Release

The film released on 12 March 2010 alongside Sri Harikathe, another film starring Sriimurali at the box office. Unhappy at the clash, Sriimurali stated that the producers of Sihigali were "sweet" but were "misguided" in opting to go ahead and release the film on the same day as his home production Sri Harikathe.[3] The film's director, Lekhan, stated that the clash was inevitable owing to the film's production delays.[4]

The film garnered negative reviews upon release, with a critic from Sify.com stating "Lekhan's brainless narrative fails to bring even decent performance from talented artists".[5] A reviewer from Rediff.com stated "the film is a turnoff right from start to finish" and that the "super melodramatic presentation of mother-son love, is outdated too".[6]
