Absolutely loved the movie. The visuals are breathtaking, almost divine. Anything around Bhoota Kola connects with me deeply as a Mangalorean and a Tuluva community person. This film truly hits differently.
That said, I feel I have to watch it again. The narrative layers, symbolism, certain scripts, and the Paddanas need more focus to fully grasp. People outside Mangalore / KA coastal might actually find it a bit hard to follow in one go, and thatโs understandable.
One thing I personally felt was that the fight sequence was a bit lengthy, but apart from that, itโs absolutely worth watching. I honestly donโt get why thereโs hate around it - itโs a powerful film that deserves appreciation.
