Darshan Rao

Movie making at its best. A true blend of commercial elements for movie fans and our rich culture from Tulunadu Why should we watch? - Brilliant performances from all actors. They have lived the character than mere acting. Rishab Shetty has exceeded the expectations of a movie lover and set a high benchmark as an actor - Cultural beliefs about Daiva and Kola are sensitive. Depiction has been spot-on by not hurting anyone's sentiments - Background Music and Cinematography are class apart. Music elements (E.g., Chande vaadya) are very real and local. Makes it easy to relate to the atmosphere. Majority of the movie is picturised in the night and it's a visual treat What could have been better? - Storyline. This goes on usual, expected tone with less twists. At times, you keep waiting for climax (which is the best part of the movie) and feel it is getting dragged Overall, a must-watch for Kannada movie fans.. especially if you belong to Tulunadu and know about Daiva and Kola rituals. Movies like this are not made very often and need encouragement when made 👏👏👏

Positives: 1. Performances - Sudeep and Nirup have done justice to their characters. Sudeep carries the movie on his shoulders 2. VFX - Visual treat to watch this experience on 3D Negatives: 1. Slow - For a thriller movie, this tests audience's patience by slow narration 2. Story and Screenplay - Lack of clarity with a few twists. At times, no connection between scene - 1 and 2. Twists won't match up to main plot and makes you wonder what really happened. Eg., Movie set in the times when fuel rate was 3 rs but Sudeep's house looks full posh and modernised. 3. Songs - Unnecessary songs Overall verdict - One time watchable to appreciate the 3D presentation of Namma Kannada movie
