Katha Sangama

This movie gives a complete treat of best cinematography, direction, music, acting and story. When one story gives you different perspectives, the other shows something which is relatable to life. When one story gives a bit of comedy, the other has few thrillers. A must watch kind of movie. This team has been creating good content since past. Hats off!

Good effort from everybody

some of the stories are very good.

positive New genre of movie in kannada some of the stories are aweesome direction acting

negative some stories not concluded properly some stories are boring

Girigitle story line is really good. Both acting and direction is good.

When you are told you are about to watch a tribute to Puttanna Kanagal, you just watch.

Kanagal's 'Katha Sangana' had three short stories, whereas this one has seven. I am not sure about the intention behind naming every cast/crew member that ever worked with Kanagal at the beginning of the film.

'Rainbow Land' is a feel good father-daughter story. 'Sathya Katha Prasanga' is psychedelic with good acting by Prakash Belawadi (trivia: it is shot in Malleswaram). I couldn't help thinking of one of R K Narayan's distressed characters from 'Malgudi Days' during both these stories.

'Girgitle' is bizarre, and 'Utthara' leaves us with a question instead of an answer. 'Padavaralli' is abrupt and 'Sagara Sangama' appears, at least to me, pointless.

They certainly saved the best for the last: 'Lachavva'. Kudos to the makers for extracting the most natural performances by what appear to be non-actors, or 'real people'.

The lead actress, Paravva, easily steals the show and brings tears to one's eyes with her effortless acting. The story is also symbolic of the urban predicament of mass-migration from villages into cities.

My average rating of this film increased mainly because of 'Lachavva'.

What a wonderful movie. All 7 stories were done so well, but the last story stole the show. It was just beyond awesome, the actors, direction, story, just everything.
