Sarkari. Hi. Pra. Shale Kasaragodu, Koduge: Ramanna Rai

In the age of so called mass movies, S.H.P.S.K is the giant classic movie with a blend of history, drama and reality! Rishab Shetty is no doubt skilled as we saw in his Ricky, Kirik Party and not to forget his role in Ulidavaru Kandanthe. With S.H.P.S.K though, he seems to have a prowess to awaken the heart of a fellow Kannadiga. Veteran and ever glowing Anant Nag as always, justifies his role perfectly. But it is the kids - the innocence, the vulnerability and the natural enaction that makes this movie close to reality.

The key point that makes this movie a classic is the attention to natural intrinsic details, the cultural references and music. May it be authentic accents, the dance forms - Yakshagana and Huli Vesha(Pilivesha) or the catchy songs exploring the Kannada. Where was this guy Vasuki all the while. This right combination is what I think makes this movie bigger than the likes of this generation classics like, Rangitaranga.

Before today, we knew little about the story of Kasargodu. Why aren't we involved in their struggle. Probably it is a wakeup call for all Kannadigas to unite. Kodagina Pravaha, Mahadayi, Kaveri - Uttara,Dakshina,Poorva,Pashchima - every Kannadiga's struggle needs to be carried shoulder to shoulder. Namma Thana, Namma Jana, Namma Nadu - Karunadu, Kannada <3

Best movie i ever watched. Movie with best theme and total entertainment. No where we will be bored. Beautiful scenary and songs. Loved it.

The whole movie is about the importance of language used to teach kids. The movie is rich with kannada epic comedy dialogues amazingly delivered by young actors. It fills your heart with all the emotions of love, sadness, humour and anger. 100% family entertainer! Wont regret it for sure if you choose to spend your weekend evening with this movie.

Small details also presented very beautifully. One of the best directions by Rishab Shetty.

Finally watched the movie , Sarkari Hiriya Prathamika Shale Kasaragod

The school and its surroundings, the friends and growing up in a clutter free happy time thats shown in the movie is close to heart to every middle class Kannadiga in his/her thirties now.

I grew up in Bangalore all my childhood and I have time and again dreamt of living in a smaller city. I was friends with two sisters who had moved from Mysore and joined the high school where I studied, who were in awe with everything that Bangalore offered to them. This is the sweet spot that the movie will take you back to.. You may not be able to define it, but you will live it with full energy; laugh and cry through the length of it.

A liberal amount of space and time in the movie is taken up to show the cultural celebrations and art forms of South Canara and Kerala. No complains. It was refreshing.

We have all asked our friends or our school mates or our colleagues , or our bosses , or our juniors someday while sipping tea in some road side tea stall , "what language do you use to talk to yourself?" "What language do you dream in?" and left the topic with some self criticism or some odd joke. Sarkari Hiriya Pratamika Shale, Kasargodu is a movie that Rishab Shetty made , probably when those questions occurred to him :)
