Aachar & Co

One of the best movies seen in recent times, almost everyone has acted exceptionally. Sindhu has amazing talent and is someone to watch out for in Kannada Industry.

I was able to relate to quite a few things from my childhood as well. Very simplistic depiction of old Bangalore lifestyle and the narrative is gripping throughout the movie. I would have loved it if we had seen a little more of Suma character transition at the end.

My only regret was not able to watch in theater when it was released. I would support these amazing movies anyday over the mass masala movies.

Watch with your family, especially someone who can relate to the old lifestyle.

Breaking the norms, the transition of goes from patriarchy to matriarchy as the years pass on. Beautifully made, direction, screenplay and scripts are memorable. Realistic, hilarious and heart touching - a perfect movie to be watched by all including kannadigas. Entertainment is guaranteed along with social message , never feels like movie is casted by debut actors . It's a never miss movie, don't wait till the movie streams online rather take your fam and hit the theatres. Amazing direction, great acting and funny . The recreation of 1900s Bangalore is wonderful. A good drama for the weekend.

First off need to give credit where its due, thanks to non other than our one and only Power star Puneeth Rajkumar for PRK Productions. His vision for contributing to such movies and openness to welcome new age Directors and actors is matched by no one. Almost everyone else wants it to be big and noisy but he choose to throw weight to such movies where the characters come to light with stories and ability to showcase true talent of what acting is all about. Thank you Sir, even though you are gone you surely are living among us with producing such movies. We need movies like these which compliments originality and authenticity. Director has really ticked all the right boxes by ensuring to keep characters simple and elegant and let the story talk.

Kudos to everyone associated with this movie,

Family entertainer has a lot of giggleworthy earthy Bengaluru feeling. This is a movie to be watched with the parents as almost every 50+ member will have a similar experience to narrate.

Primary characters have been well etched out by the writers. The movie does NOT have crass, double meaning content. Director lets slip a lot of moments where she could have made you shed a tear but intentionally so. Showing emotions without drama is something Indian directors have pick up and this director has excellent control over the craft. This does great good to the mood of the film.

Technically cinematography, art, costume and make-up work have done a great job given the constraints of the budget. The subtle ageing of characters is well captured. The music binds the movie very well. Bindumalini's OST and Songs are too good. It is time that we get to hear her more frequently. Her work elevates the humour. It is a pity that we no longer get to buy CDs of such good work. All the actors have done great justice to the roles but Anirudh Acharya stands out as Senior Jaggu (equal credit to actor and writer here). He has been able to carry wit and goofiness with great ease.

The casting is perfect. You would be able to relate the faces and compare them with wedding albums of your parents/grand parents.

As director, Writer and protoganist - Sindhu has come out a winner in all her responsibilities. The movie is short as per Indian norms. The viewers left the hall thinking aloud that the it could have been a bit longer. A compliment to the editor and such a welcome change to Indian Cinema.

I would recommend this movie to be watched in the big screen along with every senior citizen in the family. I can assure you the weekend following, you would end up having long calls discussing the movie and past generations.

Awesome story and beautiful Retro setup. From first minute to the last each scene is beautifully made. From a single man earner to all the ladies of the house contributing to the family. One of the best movies I have seen this year.

Would surely recommend all of you to watch it with your family. Each actor has given their best, the household names Suma Umma Jaggu - uff Yum Maaa Do concentrate on the lyrics of each of the songs ha ha too good. Billi jhuralla (White cockroach). Next I am going to check out each of the makers names especially director lyrics writer. Best output from each of them.

Highly recommended and proud of Kannada Cinema.
