'''''Modalasala''''' ({{langx|kn|ಮೊದಲಾಸಲ}}) is a 2010 Indian [Kannada](/source/Kannada_language) [romantic drama film](/source/romantic_drama_film) written and directed by Purushottham C. Somanathapura in his debut, produced by Yogesh Narayan and stars [Yash](/source/Yash_(actor)) and [Bhama](/source/Bhama_Kurup)<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/amp/content/32924/bhamas-modala-sala.html|title=Bhama's 'Modala Sala'|work=[Deccan Herald](/source/Deccan_Herald)|date=28 October 2009}}</ref> in the lead roles. [Rangayana Raghu](/source/Rangayana_Raghu), [Tara](/source/Tara_(Kannada_actress)), [Avinash](/source/Avinash_Yelandur) and [Sharan](/source/Sharan_(actor)) feature in supporting roles.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/kannada/2010/Dec/22/get-ready-for-another-love-story-213256.html|title=Get ready for another love story|work=[The New Indian Express](/source/The_New_Indian_Express)|date=22 December 2010}}</ref>

==Plot==
The film is about two youngsters, both of whom are quite the ideal children. Imagine a girl who makes a guy wait hoping to get her parents to approve his proposal; or a guy who says, "I’ve met the girl's parents, I see them in her eyes". These are the things most typical families dream of, as they plan their kids’ futures.

The film has its funny moments and occasionally an overdose of sentimental scenes. The director has done a fairly decent job with the narrative and Yash impresses in his role as the lovelorn urban lad. His dancing skills deserve special mention — he’s easily one of the best in Sandalwood.

New girl Bhama makes a decent debut, though Deepu, who has dubbed for her, deserves equal applause. Rangayana Raghu and Tara excel, and the film shows Raghu in a different light, as opposed to his over-the-top comical roles.

== Reception ==
=== Critical response ===

A critic from ''[The Times of India](/source/The_Times_of_India)'' scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and says "Watch the movie with your family and wards to know the climax. Yash steals the show while Bhama too is superb. Rangayana Raghu and Tara are graceful. Hats off to brilliant cinematography by H C Venu. Music director V Harikrishna has scored some melodious tunes, especially the song Prathamaa (penned by V Nagendra Prasad)".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/modala-sala/movie-review/11989753.cms?from=mdr|title=MODALA SALA MOVIE REVIEW|work=[The Times of India](/source/The_Times_of_India)|date=14 May 2016}}</ref> Sunayana Suresh from [DNA](/source/DNA_(newspaper)) wrote "New girl Bhama makes a decent debut, though Deepu, who has dubbed for her, deserves equal applause.

Modala Sala also makes some squirm at its climax, but then that’s again cinema".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/amp/content/127304/modala-sala.html|title=Modala Sala|work=[Deccan Herald](/source/Deccan_Herald)|date=7 January 2011}}</ref> A critic from [Bangalore Mirror](/source/Bangalore_Mirror) wrote  "The star of the film, however,  is HC Venugopal, the cinematographer, by doing away with artificial lighting, but manages to show natural images as if he has invented some new colours. (A few trees are actually painted in artificial colour in one scene). The picturesque Coorg (hills, trees and waterfalls) gets a new showcase in his frames. The dialogues meander between being mundane and striking. But it is mostly the former. Easily avoidable".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/south-masala/just-two-much-modalasala/articleshow/21718976.cms|title=Just two much Modalasala|work=[Bangalore Mirror](/source/Bangalore_Mirror)|date=30 December 2010}}</ref>
