Lucia

If you have liked Inception, Shutter island, The Illusionist and similar movies which can be categorized as psycho thriller (not sure if all of them), then I am sure you are going to like this movie as well... Lot of times while watching the movie I was forced to compare the movie with Inception but the director has managed well in the end to make it clear that it is not a copy of Inception. May be it has inspired him which is great. Kannada film industry occupies a relatively smaller place in Indian cinema but once in a while such "magnum opus" is created to show it isn't dead yet.... And this fact made me expect less and go out and watch it and in the end I came out happier.

hello,I watched the movie and I'm not satisfied with it ,yes you read it right, until and unless I see it for two more times,I won't get satisfied ,not that didn't understand the movie but for 3 reasons. 1:cinematography. 2:music 3:And Of course for the brilliant story and direction. yes! the movie is brilliant in all the possible ways ,from the way it has started and ended.This movie is definitely an unusual one in a good way. sometimes while watching some great movies you feel that the movie shouldn't have been ended, that's what I felt about this movie at the end.It creates an urge to see what's gonna happen next. I feel this movie itself is a pill for insomnia. Finally a brilliant and must watch movie.

Lucia - Excellent, Marvelous, Mind blowing, etc etc... A complete entertainment package made out of a tiny budget, raised by crowd funding which is first of a kind in Kannada film history. The movie is beyond the expectation of all the investors and garnering appreciation from every one who watched it. Excellent story line and narration by director Mr. Pawan Kumar, excellent performances by cast, great music, all in all a perfect package. The intelligent narration keeps audience involved with turns n twists through out. The movie haunts you like a dream even after you come out of the theater. Thanks to the cast and crew, especially Mr. Pawan Kumar for making "Lucia" a reality.

#Lucia - People who have watched #Inception are saying that Lucia is India's own Inception but I say ' there is only one Lucia in the whole world and it is original '. Inception was about ' a dream within a dream ' but Lucia is about ' lucid dreaming ' so there is no way that these both EPIC movies can be weighed on the same scale because it would seem a stubborn act. #PawanKumar is a man who stands in a league where #ChristopherNolan #StevenSpielberg etc stand, for me. Even if you want to try finding flaws in this movie it is 'Mission Impossible', Pawan Kumar should be an inspiration to the whole industry, he has come out of the box of the age old Indian movie formulas and has done a film that stands unique in the whole world (at least what I know of). You reach out for the characters in the movie and that is something great. He makes the people think, 'what you think is a dream is actually a reality but what you think is reality is actually a dream'. You will be 'Mind Fu..ed'. Pawan Kumar, he with his film and his team need to be nominated to the #OSCARS (am not here to over exaggerate). No wonder it won an award at The London Indian film festival. Cinematography by #SiddharthNuni needs a special mention, shot in a 5d camera, he has made an already classic script into a masterpiece movie on screen. He captures every emotions in its own shade. #PoornaChandraTejaswi the music director is a true find and is a bright prospect to the Kannada industry. He delivers justice through songs and lifts the movie to another level through his BGM which is apt to each and every scene. #NeenasamSatish - now who would have ever thought he had such wide range of emotions hidden in him as an actor? The emotions that he portrays as a normal torch guy or the way he carries the attitude of a film star is mind blowing. #ShrutiHariharan the heroine is convincing and has delivered justice to her role. #AchyuthKumar as the owner of the theater which doesn't see audience or as the manager of a film star is flawless, a true actor. Editing - don't really know him it is but gives you the feel of a Hollywood film with his cut and paste work. It goes razor sharp transporting the movie at a brisk pace so that it doesn't bore you anywhere and yet keeps the suspense going along. Now all said and done about the movie, I am gonna talk as a Kannadiga now - Saw some page today posting watch Lucia at your own risk and I like to rephrase it saying ' miss Lucia at your own risk '. ' The movie is strictly not for fools '. People who hate Kannada movies take this..!.. Finally thanks to the audience who produced this movie. Lucia - an evergreen movie . . . Lucia isn't actually a person if you think it is but it is something else, if you wanna know it watch the movie at a theater . . . The only film where I saw people clap after it ended was #Avatar after that it is only Lucia . . .

One of the best movies I've watched in recent times. It keeps you engaged and guessing until the last leg of the movie after which story unravels in a coherent manner.

Screen play is terrific and songs/music are pretty impressive. Special mention needs to be done on hero of movie for his versatility - ease with which he lives in two contrasting worlds couldn't have got better. Also, Kudos to the director who has shown immense talent in depicting a complicated story line in the most lucid way possible.

Although movie will be much appreciated by viewers who understand Kannada, I believe others with help of sub titles too will find the movie a master piece.

PS: This is my first movie review online and I couldn't resist from sharing it here since for the first time I saw audience after the movie clapping in admiration.
