Godhi Banna Sadharana Mykattu

What an apt time to be watching GBSM after the release of another exceptional movie thithi in the same language. Augurs well for the future!! Well the trailer was pleasing and the movie is brilliant. You cannot imagine that its a debutant director calling the shots and convincing today's audience to stay invested for close to 2.5 hours in watching a son's "discovery" of his lost father. Its brutally honest to the core as you see Shiva- a middle class blue collar employee trying to move up the corporate ladder being insensitive to his father poignantly portrayed by Anant nag who has Alzheimer's. As the dad goes missing due to sheer negligence he shouts to destroy the doctor and the NGO taking care of him.What follows is a search within and without as he says in a beautiful scene "it seems my dad has Alzheimer but i am the one who has loss of memory". Don't get me wrong, this movie is nothing cliché as we are genuinely moved the search moves along with few flashbacks of a normal city brahmin family. It would still have been a good family drama just with this but what makes this flick outstanding is the intertwined crime drama involving corruption and murder. There's brilliant editing and execution and not once it feels contrived and unreal. The director gives depth to all its characters and even the thugs come across as genuine. Its not all hunky dory though as you hear too loud background songs which are out of sync with the narrative in the first half,the movie could be shorter by 15 min and the actions of the doctor are little hard to believe. But these are minor blemishes in an otherwise flawless venture which is sure to make your heart heavy and eyes wet at the same time with a smile on your face. Kudos to the brilliant acting by everybody this film is a winner.!

Godhi Banna Sadhaarana Mykattu is one of the best movies ever created in Kannada cinema. Brilliant acting, songs & direction. You'll want to watch it again for it's emotional heart-touching father-son relationship portayed in the film. The sad thing is that Kannada films are not getting enough screenings in Bengaluru even though it is the birth place of Sandalwood.

thank you GBSM because of you i was able to take my parents to cinema hall and trust me they loved it. My father who prefers to be aloft social circle found the movie to be more important than the inconveniences of being there.

About the movie: A simple movie but takes you along every scene and plot making you feel for the character. Some of the new comers have done equally wonderful job. Hats off to Ananth Nag for a wonderful performance. Rakshit Shetty has done a good job but felt he was lacking emotions in certain scenes. There were few misses as well eg: they go for shopping in a certain hypermarket but the shopping bag they carry is of a different brand i guess that can be ignored

Overall a definitely must watch movie, for those who don't follow Kannada don't worry you have subtitles

Beautiful heart touching story.. Each character has its essence and all the actors have played the role in a way that connects to the audience instantly .. Ananth Nag is extraordinary and nobody would have essayed this role better than him.. Rakshit Shetty is again doing brilliant justice to his role.. Vasishta N. Simha hogs the limelight with his remarkable performance .. Achyuth Kumar is again a brilliant actor.. Sruthi Hariharan is a perfect female lead for the film.. Ravikiran Rajendran is equally good Overall the movie makes you think back home as to how neatly, subtly it has been done.. Kudos to Hemant Rao ! The intense sentiments of father and son is very well showcased and bringing tears to someone's eyes through emotions is not easy and the movie absolutely mesmerizes you and makes you retrospect a lot of what you need to value

What a fantastic story line, Hemanth kumar you are an amazing story teller. It will be applicable to all common people who ignored their parents and forgotten themselves. It is the story happening at our next door, and all the actors have done fabulous job in bringing the story in live, Ananth sir, you are the super human whaat an acting sir...! goosebumps for the audience and you deserves Oscar for this, we can say that is also very less for you. You lived the character of Venkob Rao, you are the heart of the story, and rakshit, shruti and Vashista also done fantastic job. And again credits goes to our director for selecting this sensitive story and presenting it without hurting any one directly, it may be lesson for younger generation. We are expecting these kind of movies which will teach us the life. Thanks for making this wonderful movie, keep the good work work going, all the best for your future works.
