Kaaranji is 2009 Indian Kannada language musical drama film directed by debutante director Shreedhar.
It's the story of a band troupe, headed by Viji (Vijay Raghavendra), which struggles to grow as it faces one problem after the other.
A critic from The Times of India wrote that "Director Sridhar could have done a better job of a lively story, but has ended up with boring narration, silly sequences and a crude script.
With Vijaya Raghavendra in the lead, the director can't be excused for the mediocre flow of the story, which needs to be cut by at least 30 minutes".
