Koli Taal

Set in the daily life of people rural Karnataka, it's made in a realistic and artistic approach instead of the commercial hi-fi approach which gives the viewer a fresh view. The acting is as natural as it gets without any dramatisation which is very appealing. It shows the excitement and action in the relationship of grandparents, grandson and the illogical yet effective way rural india works in giving the viewers a relaxing time. A must watch to understand the approach of the new generation of film makers to the industry.

It took me to my childhood. Festival hit . It made me to remember my grandpa.. Small concent but well narrated. Awesome experience watching it. Especially sound and screenplay worked out well.

This movie will make audience to travel to their village again. We should support these type movies. Expecting this movie on OTT soon.

I had taken my whole family members to watch during theatrical release.

It would be great if this movie is released on television platform so tha whole family people sit and watch together.

Prabhakar kundar who has played the role of grandpa is very impressive.

Even grany has done best....

This one of the finest and simple story which reminds us one of the childhood. It took in a small village which less cast and movie came out with great acting by Prabhakar kundar (grandfather) as Mahabala shetty sir and Radha Ramachandra mam as Vanaja and direction from Abhilash shetty and the Cinematography team did a great work in making this beautiful movie with simple story,

It seems to me a film that is based on the love of grandparents towards grandchildren, which can be represented in cooking a delicious dish, as well as welcoming the family. I really love the sound of nature, the chirping of different types of birds that live in the place. It transports me to a true Paradise. I am struck by the faith that they profess to the Gods, the customs and the culture that they show through the scene in the Theater. I am a Latin woman and I am not used to seeing women eating alone and not sharing with the rest of the family, I imagine that there are more customs where women are excluded, but I cannot do anything about it, they are customs that have been preserved until now and I imagine that they are happy that way. It is a sweet, natural film that shows that a lot can be done without so much technology and the result is fabulous. I recommend seeing and appreciating the details.

I just finished watching this after knowing this to be a part of a trilogy and I had liked the trailer of the second film. I had to check this one out and Abhilash Shetty impressed with the realistic approach towards the making as well as the narrative style. It's a simple story of an elderly couple wanting to cook chicken for their visiting Grandson but the rooster they had caught goes missing. The grandfather suspects theft of the rooster and is determined to find it back.

In the process of narrating this simple story, Abhilash Shetty knows his strength and it is the cultural touch that gives it's identity. It is not restricted to the urban and rural culture alone but the beliefs of the villagers. The innocence of these characters is captured well. The short runtime ensures the screenplay doesn't feel dragged and the realistic performance gives an heartfelt connect towards them.

For me, fish is special while chicken is the routine food. Seeing these characters feel the opposite was something fresh.
