Avane Srimannarayana

It's a one of it's kind film. Everyone will not like it for sure. Because the beauty of the movie is in the way it has been portrayed on the screen. Each and every shot looks very well crafted. Editing is perfect. Every shot is carried perfectly. There are no sharp cuts to distract you. It makes you feel as if you are watching a theater drama. If you are expecting too much from the story, then you might get disappointed. Story is decent with good amount of twists and turns. But for someone who loves the craft of a movie, this is a masterpiece.

Guys! This is easily the most creative and technically brilliant Kannada movie I have ever watched in my life. I was glad to have watched the premier show yesterday.

Every frame is a delight. I am just speechless. The screenplay is a bit tricky and you will probably need a rewatch to understand the minute nuiances and detailing but I am not complaning! I have already booked the tickets for tomorrow. I hope the audience appreciate efforts like these, else our industry will keep churning out garbage like Odeya and Pogaru in the name of creativity.

Special mention to Karm Chawla and the two music directors. They literally take us to a whole new world. Also, the production design is top notch. Congrats to director Sachin for a brilliant output. The making was top notch. Imo this is Rakshit's best performance till date. No other actor could have pulled it off. I think the success of a movie depends on whether it manages it keep you hooked throughout, whether it brings a smile on your face when you are walking out of the theatre, makes you think about it when you are on your way home and perhaps compels you to watch it again. This movie does all that and much more. Thank You to the entire team for an outstanding piece of work.

Very entertaining. I am sure I didn't get many references & missed many details but still I enjoyed it a lot. Many clever dialogues. One of my favourite: "He believes politics is the next dacoity." :D

I have watched many western genre movies in Hollywood and I must confess I never thought that one day I would see a similar genre movie in Kannada. Avane Srimannarayana is a treasure.

Elements of action, comedy, adventure, fantasy and suspense are well blended. Innovative narration techniques must receive a special mention. In my opinion, people who are complaining that the movie is too long and lethargic simply don't know how to enjoy art.

Hats off to the entire cast and crew of the movie. I wish that the Kannada cinema will be remembered in two parts. One part as before Avane Srimannarayana and the other part as after Avane Srimannarayana.

This movie is a little over three hours long. Trust me, you won't notice.

Evil bandits, skeevy politicians, internecine battles, thrills, chills, a beautiful girl, an overly-devoted acting troupe, a mysterious lost treasure...

A hero who is a crack shot, a keen fighter, a highly intelligent lateral thinker... And lazy, egotistical, a tad narcissistic, and just a teeny bit corrupt.

This film has it all!

You won't be enlightened or educated, but you will DEFINITELY be entertained.
