Ulidavaru Kandanthe

Ulidavaru kandante is very good effort from the Kannada film industry. I must say this movie has captured raw emotions very well in several situations. And i hope movies like these are well received by the Audience and eventually making sure that these kind of experiments continue and do well. This movie also brings the other variations of the kannada language in Karnataka which is awesomely portrayed!

The movie gives more importance to art in itself rather than conventional movies(in any regional language in general) which gives importance to commercial elements.

Lastly , I felt the second half could have been bit faster to improve the entertainment quotient. That said, it doesn't mean its boring. Its just that the movie gives more importance to script!

Overall a great movie! Must watch for people who prefer 'class' than 'mass' movies :D

Ulidavaru Kandante (As Seen by the Rest), one of the most anticipated movies in Kannada film industry in the year 2014 for me was a brilliant experience. Having waited for this movie for months, I went to the movie as soon as I could after the release. The movie had already created the hype required. However, it was not up to the expectation or maybe I expected more. The screenplay was adapted from Pulp fiction and moulded to make the general audience understand. The screenplay was indeed brilliant and was supported by brilliant performance by most of the pivotal characters, beautiful music and mind-blowing cinematography. However, the story was a bit weak. The title holds up to what is shown in the movie. The dialogues are brilliant but can be enjoyed only by those who know the coastal language. What bothered me was the attention to detail. Rakshit Shetty has tried not to ignore it but has failed to achieve "perfection". All said and done, I would still recommend the movie to everyone as it is worth watching in the cinemas.

Ulidavaru Kandanthe movie which had created huge expectations from the trailer, lives up to the expectations.

Highlights of the movie

1 Undoubtedly all the characters steals the show with amazing performance and screen presence. Superb acting.

2 Screen Play, Direction, Background Score, Dialogues, Narration super

3 Huli Kunitha(Tiger Dance) and the song/music for that damn awesome and Rakshit Shetty awesome in the tiger dance.

4 Democracy(Character) dialogues are super and that kid as done really well.

5 Rakshit Shetty at his first direction he as taken the movie really well.

6 Munna(Kishore) and Richi(Rakshit Shetty) steals the show, and we should not forget the others Ratnakka(Tara), Raghu(Rishab Shetty), Balu(Achyuth Kumar), Regina(sheetal Shetty)at their best.

7 Music by Ajaneesh Loknath is cool. Another new talent came to KFI

8 We should not forget the another plus points, Cinematography by karm Chawla and Editing by Sachin.

On the whole Ulidavaru Kandanthe is a must watch for every Kannadiga..

This movie just sets the bar for the rest to come. Looking at the trailer I was looking forward to a good movie but this turned out to be a masterpiece. Honestly, you have to be familiar with movies like Pulp Fiction, Inception, Donnie Darko, Requiem for a Dream etc to show liking towards it, as this is not a typical Indian Cinema. Anyway, if you thought 'LUCIA' was cool, Just wait till you watch this!!.

Anyway, coming back to the movie. The story is plain and simple, it revolves around the death of a character and a reporter investigating it, writing down the perspectives of the others involved in the incident. What takes the cake though, is the direction, screenplay, acting and the background score. Simply Flawless!! Didn't expect that sort of direction from a debutant director.Simply amazing!!!. The film is divided into 6 chapters, each from a different point of view, revolving around the same time frame. The movie adds its own style and at the same time preserving the authenticity of the native regions. In ending is left to your interpretation.

Ulidavaru Kandanthe

It is a Bold, intuitive , innovative and extraordinarily simple yet extremely effective machinery which transformed the way a story is told.

It is non linear way of narration , equally justifying each charterer and showing their depth, We all are heroes in our own life and we cannot walk away from our story.... and our story is always the way we want it to be..... often we chose to ignore the facts for the fairy tale, for it comforts us in despair and gives a hope....

This is capitalized in this story telling, where each narrator feels that his perspective is the truth. Even a small material will cause a large shadow when its rightly placed at the right time.A butterfly effect of events which will cause an avalanche of catastrophes...

Plot is very simple, but strongly supported by astonishing script and mesmerizing acting. Last but not the least kudos to the debut directer /writer Rakshit Shetty to pulling an incredible master piece.

That said, this cinema is like summer rain which makes you feel like you are in paradise, the entire movie holds your undivided attention and the music is brilliantly fixed on to the script its very hard to see it as a separate entity.

Movies seems to be inspired by few Hollywood flicks which is not a bad thing when its so elegantly executed.
