SandalwoodWhile the film jumps from one scene to another without any connection or explanation, the characters pop up randomly without proper intent.Aravind ShwethaDemonetisation shook the country. Even two years later, some people still bear the brunt of the note ban. Sd Arvinda’s Mataash, supposedly linked to demonetisation according to the filmmakers, could have easily been one of those satirical films that portrayed what happened at that time in a humorous way. But just like demonetisation, Mataash ends up being a big disappointment. The film begins with the narrator Avinash Narasimharaju briefing the audience about an unheard of story that took place in the months following demonetisation in Vijayapura, Bengaluru, Mysuru and Sakaleshpura. Four youths from Vijayapura try to sell the Gol Gumbaz and are arrested by the police. A local politician, however, bails them out and in return sends them to Puttur to bring back banned notes worth Rs 50 lakh.
