The story revolves around the investigative journalist Guru who is given some assignment by his newspaper owner to find out as to how his rival newspaper owner gets some sensational scoops. Guru and his friend Pooja who looks more like a fashion model find out that a girl is getting some unusual dreams and she is leaking out these dreams to the rival newspaper editor. Since all these dreams become a reality, the newspaper is always on target.
One day this girl gets a dream where she is engaged to Guru and she falls for him. Guru wants to disprove that all the incidents that have happened are coincidental and is working on his own way to find out the truth behind some murders. Finally, the girl gets a dream where in she finds that Guru will be killing the newspaper editor and also a train accident, which kills thousands of people on board. Finally Guru resolves all the mysteries behind the murders and gets into the bottom of these dreams.
The film’s narration has some strong influence of Malayalam films like “Iyer the Great” and “New Delhi” featuring Mammootty. “New Delhi” was simultaneously produced with the Malayalam version in Kannada with Ambarish in the lead. But the finesse of the Malayalam films is not seen in “News”, which has some cheap sequences.
Upendra who has played the role of Guru has to fight, make love with two glamorous girls and also engage himself in comedy sequences featuring Tennis Krishna and Bank Janardhan. Upendra excels in all of them, but if at all the director had been little more circumspect he would not have included some below the best sequences in the film.
Still “News” may be a worthy viewing exercise for many reasons. The songs are well choreographed and are a major attractive feature of the film. Upendra as an investigative journalist-though he does little of journalist’s duties and more of policing work delivers a better performance. Malayalam actress Renuka Menon has done her role adequately, but Reema Sen has nothing much to do except singing some songs and adding some oomph into the film. Tennis Krishna’s comedy is in bad taste. Ashok and Nasser have come out with decent performances.

Based upon the Gold Medallion award-winning best-seller, The Case for Christ documents Lee Strobel’s journey from atheism to faith through his two-year investigation of the Bible and the life of Jesus Christ. Strobel, the former legal editor of the Chicago Tribune, draws upon his investigative skills to examine the historical accuracy of the Gospels, the personal claims of Jesus and His resurrection from the dead.
