Its a love story told from a 16-year old girl point of view. I have never seen any other teenage romantic story from a female view. And, this is one of the finest example of how to use voice-overs for narration. The movie compares itself with cliche scenes from Bollywood love dramas and the girl explores that it is not the reality. Watch if you want to see a realistic love story without any dramas and overacting!!

A wonderful movie with excellent direction wading through the complexities of a relationship between a young couple in the nineties. Depth, subtlety and realistic scenarios take you through the whole movie and you end up coming out content. A topic not explored in kannada cinema, atleast not in the way that has been portrayed in this movie. The lead characters do justice to their respective roles and take you through a nostalgic ride through your school days and that experience is worth it! Well done! Please appreciate quality cinema made by our Kannada industry and please watch the movie and appreciate their efforts.

Not a lot of movies are out there nowadays that have the effect on you the way gantumoote has had... It's truly a remarkable piece of work that will take you back to your school years and make you relive all those sweet... sweet moments... And I really want to thank the makers and everyone else involved in the making of this masterpiece... Everything about the movie right from start to finish is a heartfelt experience and the characters and the story resonates with you long after you leave the cinema hall... All the actors, the dialogue, the screenplay, cinematography are nothing short of excellence... The background score particularly stands out and shines through and through... I don't want to say anything more because I'm afraid I might give away some spoilers... Kudos to the entire team that have given it their all. On a personal note, I am truly honoured to have one of the key actors in this movie as a dear friend... Watching her on screen has brought a great sense of pride and joy in me... I would urge all of you to not miss this movie as the kind of nostalgia it creates is unheard of..#gantumoote

A highly relateable film with occasional laughter. Gantumoote did not bore me for a single second. This certainly will be one of the 10 films between 2010 and 2020 I would recommend to my friends.

What I liked: 1. Female protagonist character who does not rely on oh-I-am-such-a-victim or radical feminist values. 2. Female protagonist who is not a female version of a regular male protagonist. (We have seen the latter happening). 3. Strong and mature character of Meera, in which strength and maturity are not defined by conventional standards. 4. The film isn't afraid to talk about child marriages in certain homes (you will know why I said it the way I said it, after watching the film. I don't have the the kind of balls the film has). 5. Nothing is on-your-face. 6. Attention to detail. Small things like having white number plate instead of yellow for public transport vehicles, and hiding 'BBMP' with trash props on a wall where 'By order - BBMP' was written, mattered. I would have liked it even better if BTS buses were shown instead of BMTC. 7. Meera's father gets way less dialogues than her mother, despite having similar screen time, quite like urban uncles of 90s. 8. Director's cameo. 9. The school has a cool teacher who makes total sense, again relateable.

Watch it before it goes out of theatres

This move has taken sandalwood industry to a next level, it's really a feather in the cap..the actors seems to have given their best..strong and connective story! I would suggest all movie lovers to watch this movie..and thanks for the whole movie team for their efforts to create a masterpiece movie..
