Katheyondu Shuruvagide

This story is a no drama relaxed story. Nice acting. The best part is the story does take a natural turn and does nkt twist like in drama movies.

Went with much expectations seeing positive reviews and 8+/10 ratings at lots of places. Disappointed as movie fails to build the plot in 2.5hrs. As a first time director should get credit. Overall OK.

This movie is a pleasant take on the romantic relationships in life. In the movie, Diganth is a resort owner and Pooja, who will be in a depressed state due to her marital problems, comes to stay at the resort. Diganth begins to spend time with Pooja and tries to cheer her up and forget the past. At the same time there are two different love stories that will charm you - the cute romance between Diganth's uncle, Babu Hirannaiah and aunt Aruna Balaraj and the second one between the resort staffs Shreya and Ashwin. The movie unfolds in a soulful manner with a mix of romance and some mild comedy by Prakash who is another resort staff. The movie captures every emotion beautifully and all the actors have performed brilliantly. The first half could have been better, however the second half is the one which takes the movie forward. The cinematography and music is really amazing and this movie is one of the best soulfully crafted movies of this year!

I am so glad its a kannada movie, understanding emotions in one's mother tongue is such a wonderful experience, thanks for that.

This is a well made refreshingly good Kannada movie that has been released recently among some mediocre 'masala blockbusters'. It is a meticulously well woven story telling of 3 love stories from different age groups. It is sprinkled with the right dose of comedy that keeps the movie entertaining in an otherwise slow-paced narrative. The stories are realistic and relatable to an urban audience.

Diganth's acting as a troubled young man is admirable. Hiranniah & Aruna as the elderly couple have put in a good performance and their acting clearly shows their poise and experience. The others have done their bit quite well.

Cinematography is generally well done, the young Director seems to have had a good debut. The songs are excellent and they fit the scenes and play in the background in bits - thankfully sparing us the entire songs to the jukebox.

Overall I give it a 10 - a low budget movie with none of the usual 'masala' ingredients, that easily comes out better than the recent over the top mega budget mediocre Kannada movies.
