Rajiv Ramanjani

I really liked Sagara Sangama. There is not a single dialogue in that whole story. Rivetting and brilliant make-up of Rishab Shetty. Great acting by both Haripriya and Rishab Shetty. The next best was Padavarahalli. One can feel a certain philosphy and way-of-life come through. The tension is very palatable throughout the story. The tattoo scene of Sathya Katha Prasanga is jaw dropping. Although the movie story movement is a little confusing at times - the message comes through. Besides the tattoo revealing scene - nothing great about this story. Utthara is really good. Its good to see Pramod Shetty and Balaji Manohar pitted against each other - after the movie Evaneh Sriman Narayana. Pramod's acting is stunning. Although he comes across as a shy, reserved person against the extrovert Balaji Manohar's character ..............the way the screenplay makes him take eventual control - is brilliant. Overall - great stories. Don't want to go away without talking about Lacchavva. Its very different. Although it was difficult for me to initially understand her Kannada - I trudged along. The story is layered and the fact that the director has managed to get this acting out of normal regular people is brilliant!!! The ending is touching!!
