It’s definitely a “Mahira” attempt in producing a cool, calm classic Kannada thriller in recent times. Stunning story and strong action packed sequences by a talented lady theatre artist Virginia Rodrigues yet so subtle on her motherly compassion- well balanced. Chaithra’s role is aptly portrayed and has lived her best. Raj B Shetty also has a strong message oriented characterisation conveyed subtly. Some scenes involving him were so convincing especially a “normal stammer” during a telephonic conversation is the essence of an honest natural screenplay and direction. The direction of a thriller with no violence against women ; instead with realistic stunt sequences where necessary is a visual retreat and another biggest highlight. Songs and background score was very different from routine and calm. Dubbing modulations of couple of dialogues (emotional part) in the climax could have been better. Encouraging such quality projects with fresh talent ( with many debutants in most departments) will definitely bring out innovative and fresh scripts in Kannada even with small budgets. “To be simple and ordinary is extraordinary” perfectly fits Mahira overall. Congratulations for the success and all the best to the team !
