India, April 28 -- When Kannada actor Krishna Ajai Rao's courtroom drama Yuddhakaanda released in theatres on April 18, it had an uphill task. Leading man Ajai had had a career slump and the genre, a courtroom drama, had not been attempted in a while in Kannada cinema. In theatres only a week after the big-ticket Tamil release Good Bad Ugly and with the Malayalam film Alappuzha Gymkhana also doing well, Yuddhakaanda had its work cut out for it. Kannada audiences, though, warmed up to the film, with the subject, a mother's fight for justice for her child, after the little one's subjected to unspeakable abuse, striking a chord with them.
