Shakhahaari

Prepare to embark on an unforgettable journey through the heartland of Karnataka (Malenaadu ) with Shakhahari, a cinematic marvel that captivates from the very first frame to the last. Directed by the visionary Sandeep Sunkad, this Kannada masterpiece is a symphony of emotions, artistry, and sheer cinematic brilliance.

Shakhahari transports audiences to the picturesque landscapes of rural Karnataka, where the struggle for survival intertwines with the triumph of the human spirit. At its core, the film is a powerful exploration of the age-old battle between tradition and progress, beautifully encapsulated through the lens of the protagonist, Subbana Hotel (Bhattre) , portrayed with remarkable depth by the talented Rangayana Raghu and Gopalakrishna Deshpande.

What sets Shakhahari apart is its ability to seamlessly blend elements of drama, romance, and social commentary into a cohesive and engaging narrative. The story unfolds with a rare authenticity, drawing viewers into the lives of its characters and immersing them in their hopes, dreams, and struggles. Every aspect of the human experience is vividly portrayed with sensitivity and nuance.

In conclusion, Shakhahari is more than just a movie - it's an experience that transcends the screen and touches the soul.

Raghu Sir fantastic job as usual infact next level acting, Gopalkrishna sir has justified his role once again by not disappointing the audience overall there is a bit of lag but after you complete the full movie you will be awestruck. The 30 min payed of very well. Good effort by the overall team. Captain of the ship our director has made great effort in the very 1st movie.

This should definitely be a blockbuster of 2024. People should stop waiting for movies to come to OTT platform to watch rather just go tot the nearest theatre to watch if not all the movies atleast the once which is way to good movie.

Well made, beautiful acting, wonderful direction, good music and back ground music, no heros, all are common people, every role has a story to tell. If this movie were to be shot with top actors, it would have run for 100 days. But, people prefer top actors over top content and top acting, alas. The movie ran only for 2 weeks unfortunately. Cinematography is good. Malnad way of life is portrayed beautifully. A details shown, like his tear drops fall on dosa tawa and it boils. Some loopholes though - how was the lady allowed to enter crime scene at the end? What is the back story of lawyer? Why did his friend keep on coughing. These are minor, but movie is worth watching twice!

How some random events turn an innocent into a criminal...Keeping the thread of how he fights for his existence, "Sakhahari" finally comes to a climax giving a logical end to everything... "Shakahaari" takes unexpected turns and keeps the suspense going till the climax. If the narrative and screenplay had been speeded up according to the story of the movie, there was a possibility that "Shakhahari" would have touched the hearts of the audience more quickly and effectively. However, it can be said that the effort of the film team to present a new story to the audience has been successful here...

Now the credit goes to actors Rangayana Raghu and Gopalkrishna Deshpande who carried the entire movie on their roles till the end. Rangayana Raghu as a cook Bhatt and Gopalkrishna Deshpande as a police inspector are heartwarming performances. New talents like Vinay and Nidhi Hegde grabbed attention in their first attempt, while Sujay Shastri brought laughter to the audience every now and then. Other than that, the performances of the other actors are decent...

Technically, the cinematography and background music of the movie attract attention. Those who want to support the efforts of newcomers and those who are different from the usual movies can see "Sakhahari" once...

Overall A crime there was, but it was not at all what I was expecting. In that sense, debutant director Sandeep Sunkad's film came across as a pleasant surprise. The premise that played out was not bad at all, but took its own sweet time to reach the classact...

Watched such a different movie after a really long time. Great acting by the entire cast. I am sure watching the movie won't make you feel disappointed.

Movie has a beautiful mixture of funny and serious dialogues. Also has few soothing songs. Kept me engaging the entire movie and didn't feel bored for even a minute. Everyone acted so well and the climax was a masterpiece for sure. The suspense was a great suspense indeed.

One of the top kannada movies out there. I usually do not write reviews but this one is worth writing. A simple and yet a complex movie. I would highly recommend to watch this movie.
