Koli Taal

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.

This is one finest which will get back us into our childhood days and refresh our thoughts. In the midst of heroism and non veg joke movie this one is purely realistic and content based movie which recalls our memories back into times when we visited our grandparents. A simple tale turned out into beautiful family entertained movie in humorous way with regional dialect and view of nature(Sagara),regional culture and beliefs, love,care and bond between grandparents and grandson,chirping sound of birds, regional dance. In total will not only serve with chicken curry but as pure realistic film 'Koli Taal', indeed to be recalled and remembered.

Congratulations to whole team for their commendable efforts and making tremendous job in debut filmmaking.

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.

It took me to my childhood. Festival hit . It made me to remember my grandpa.. Small concent but well narrated. Awesome experience watching it. Especially sound and screenplay worked out well.

This movie will make audience to travel to their village again. We should support these type movies. Expecting this movie on OTT soon.

I had taken my whole family members to watch during theatrical release.

It would be great if this movie is released on television platform so tha whole family people sit and watch together.

Prabhakar kundar who has played the role of grandpa is very impressive.

Even grany has done best....

I just finished watching this after knowing this to be a part of a trilogy and I had liked the trailer of the second film. I had to check this one out and Abhilash Shetty impressed with the realistic approach towards the making as well as the narrative style. It's a simple story of an elderly couple wanting to cook chicken for their visiting Grandson but the rooster they had caught goes missing. The grandfather suspects theft of the rooster and is determined to find it back.

In the process of narrating this simple story, Abhilash Shetty knows his strength and it is the cultural touch that gives it's identity. It is not restricted to the urban and rural culture alone but the beliefs of the villagers. The innocence of these characters is captured well. The short runtime ensures the screenplay doesn't feel dragged and the realistic performance gives an heartfelt connect towards them.

For me, fish is special while chicken is the routine food. Seeing these characters feel the opposite was something fresh.
