Nagabhushana in ‘Jerax’. | Photo Credit: ZEE Kannada/YouTube Even as director Srinidhi Bengaluru establishes Jerax’s fantasy genrein the first scene, which involves a deity and a boy with a special trinket, it’s the characters that we fall in love with rather than the unique premise. By introducing us to a series of relatable people, Srinidhi succeeds in grounding his high-concept plot. Prakasha (Nagabhushana) runs his uncle’s (a hilarious Om Prakash Rao) Xerox shop, but makes little money thanks to his rusty machine. His uncle doesn’t miss a chance to insult him. Prakasha yearns for solace in his relationship, but his girlfriend Sooji (Payal Chengappa) often expresses her displeasure with his inability to earn well. Parallel to Prakasha’s life, a political rivalry is brewing as Rayadurga witnesses the election battle between politicians Deepu and Ramanna.
