O2

When you mix two genres of love and thriller, it usually ends up into a clumsy disaster. That's what I expected when I watched the trailer but I was wrong. Expert navigation of screenplay and execution has pulled it out in an outstanding way. I remember Tamil director Mani Ratnam's movies like Bombay, where he has actually told a love story in a thrilling environment. But for a debutant director duo to achieve the same is a pleasant surprise. Hats off to the entire team!! The unexpected climax is one the finest ever in Indian cinema history. It takes guts to do an open-ended finish ... especially for new comers..and in Kanada cinema!

There are 3 reasons that I would like to state for writing this review 1.

Enthralling exciting coupled with romance and medical thriller 2. Movie made by childhood buddy and there was no way I could miss out on his dream maiden venture.. God bless and you were just great in handling everything... True pro 3. My best friend's daughter albeit a small role ahead excels very well in the role. God bless the entire team and wish you all the very best.

The dynamic duo Prashanth & Raghav broke the stereotypical format of a Kannada movie with their debut venture 'O2'.
