Koli Taal

I really enjoyed this movie, it's very exotic for me because I am European. It's a film that is easily viewed with a pleasant touch of humor. I had a great time watching this movie and I highly recommend it!

Last night I saw the movie "Koli Taal", I really liked it. A universal story of a relationship between grandparents and grandson set in a part of the world full of very interesting regional customs, the film allows us to know beliefs, habits and landscapes that we do not know in our parts. But the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren has that load of unconditional love from older generations and is the same throughout the world, the happiness that a visit from a grandchild creates is highly demonstrated. The story that shows the ternuna and the happiness that this visit generates is sustained with suspense generated from the disappearance of the chicken and determining who was the culprit. The location is great and is excellently portrayed through a beautiful photograph. I highlight the performance of "grandfather", an endearing character.

This one of the finest and simple story which reminds us one of the childhood. It took in a small village which less cast and movie came out with great acting by Prabhakar kundar (grandfather) as Mahabala shetty sir and Radha Ramachandra mam as Vanaja and direction from Abhilash shetty and the Cinematography team did a great work in making this beautiful movie with simple story,

Set in the daily life of people rural Karnataka, it's made in a realistic and artistic approach instead of the commercial hi-fi approach which gives the viewer a fresh view. The acting is as natural as it gets without any dramatisation which is very appealing. It shows the excitement and action in the relationship of grandparents, grandson and the illogical yet effective way rural india works in giving the viewers a relaxing time. A must watch to understand the approach of the new generation of film makers to the industry.

This film reminded me of spending the night with my grandparents when I was young. My grandmother always cooked my favorite foods and took such delight in watching me enjoy her efforts. My grandfather could be a bit obsessive and cranky, so it all rang true.

The charm of this film takes me back to "The Gods Must Be Crazy" with its look at what appears to be a simple village life and a love for family.

A wonderful directorial feature debut for Abhilash Shetty who also wrote, edited and starred in the film.

The world of cinema can look forward to more from this young talent.

Highly recommend this wonderful slice of life comedy that truly delivers much more than its simple premise.
