Dia

Dia!

Now most of you might have not heard about this kannada film. And it is rare that I put a review about a movie. But I felt I should say few things about this movie. There is wish behind this review, I want this movie to do well and win.

This movie is about three characters that seeks each other in a way through out the movie, and nothing goes as they want things to go. In this movie nothing actually goes as per you had expected it to. This movie is huge rollercoaster ride of emotions.

There are many moments of this movie that took my pieces away one after the other. I can confidently say I haven't witness this kind of a love story before. And by the end of the movie, it will leave you in splits and pieces.

Actors Pruthvi Ambaar, Deekshith Shetty, and Kushi have done a tremendous job in this movie. Director KS Ashok have delivered a great movie in his first attempt. Ajaneesh Loknath's music is also a great add on.

I specially and personally loved the performance of Pruthvi Ambaar, for the way he has delivered his role. I sat in the theatre for 5 minutes after the movie was over, and didn't speak a word for a long time. Came out and saw Pruthvi standing there, I hugged him and congratulated and wished him well.

In the whole, I want this movie to win. And I honestly hope it will. One last thing, before going to this movie, be ready to feel empty and incomplete. Be ready to feel many things that you don't want to. And be ready to be moved completely.

This movie for sure will stay with me and haunt me for sure for a very long time.

After his spectacular debut with the horror movie '6-5=2' which had taken the Kannada movie industry by storm way back in the year 2013, garnering accolades from all over the world and it being remade in Hindi & Telugu, director KS Ashoka is back with a masterpiece! This film which captures an emotional journey of love, will add another feather to his cap.

The story of this film revolves around an introverted girl named Dia and her complicated love life which unfolds in the most unexpected way possible. Dia's life changes in drastic ways causing her great amount of confusion, emotional stress and also sometimes happiness! The film mainly explores how "life is full of surprises & miracles!"

The way the plot unfolds is truly magical! This film has a very simple screenplay with each of the elements in it being exceptionally pure and natural. It has the power to evoke very strong emotions in you with its realistic look and approach. Due to the subtle nature of the film, the viewer just gets absorbed into the story in no time!

The film captures the innocence of the characters very effectively. There are no unnecessary elements in the storyline and also there are no song sequences, which makes this film connect very well with the class audience or particularly those who appreciate sensible and meaningful cinema.

The director deserves a pat on the back for bringing out this kind of timeless cinema which one doesn't get to watch usually in Sandalwood. The story plays with the viewer's emotions, showing the unpredictable nature of life. However at the end, he leaves the viewer dumbfounded with a scene which one would have never even imagined! This one scene could hamper the viewer's opinion about this film, mainly those who would have been expecting something with optimism!

The background score by Ajaneesh Loknath is soul stirring! Especially the theme song will keep echoing in your ears even after coming out of the theatre! The cinematography and editing is also praiseworthy with many scenes captured beautifully through the camera lens.

Each of the actors in this movie contribute immensely to the success of this film. Kushee as Dia gives out a spectacular performance while portraying the heart-touching emotions effortlessly! Pruthvee Ambaar steals your heart with his enthusiastic performance and he beautifully carries out his role in a calm & relaxed manner. Experienced artist Pavithra Lokesh doles out an elegant performance. Dheekshith also impresses in a heart touching role.

To sum up, this movie has a powerful story coupled with some heart touching performances, enough to stand out amongst the best love stories that have come up in the recent times! If you like meaningful films & those with very strong emotions, without any bit of commercial content, then you shouldn't miss this gem of art!

Dia character haunts even after movie . Such a beautiful crafted script with emotional turmoil.

Life is full of problems and pain Also life is full of surprises

Good movie with many messages for life but climax as an exception!!. These kind of movies which try to teach lessons for life should be bit carefull in what they are meant to convey. Climax of the movie is like promoting sucide for failures/losses in life.. this has taken down the core message movie has carried all along the story. I wish if movie makers can think of and retake some motivating climax for the movie.

Just awesome.. good music, camera, screenplay, but on a serious note that much tragedy wasn't actually needed! 🙄
