Murphy

Joe Murphy wants to gift his dad the precious radio post-repair but on the way home, he meets with an accident. Years later in 2024, his son David has been raised by his grandfather who is still attached to the radio and David wants to repair it as a surprise. He falters in it and soon, gets a bigger surprise when a cross connection happens in the radio transmission to a person named Janani in 1996. As they bond over their radio conversation, he realizes there is still chance to change the past and Janani being the key. How do they learn the laws of physics when it comes to Love in this process, forms rest of the story.

Murphy joins the list of beautifully shot Kannada films this year and is aided by some beautifully written lines. The drama which uses time travel as a plot point is all about good vibes and the director has a firm grip on the film's tonality which doesn't change from start to finish. However, the screenplay remains quite predictable and there is no surprise in the store. This at times does feel dragged and one wishes to have made a better balance between both the love stories - 1996 and 2024, rather than solely focusing on 1996. It is still a good attempt and I definitely don't want to run it down because of the predictability.

A very beautiful movie! I've seen quite a few time travel movies but the way this movie is presented on a relatively similar concept is amazing. Story revolves around a person in the present unexpectedly getting connected with a lady in the past n trying to help her to get her love life settled n thereafter interconnection of that love story to the present. The initial few minutes looked very dumb but the way soon it picks up the storyline is admirable. The climax gives one emotional goosebumps. Story doesn't get diverted anywhere, no unwanted masala, keeps one captivated through an emotional saga of love, hope, sacrifice. Didn't expect it could be so good. The man in lead character in 2 different roles has perfectly fit in into the character. Strongly recommended one to watch it. Available in Amazon Prime only in Kannada. My ratings 8/10!

Murphy (2024), directed by BSP Varma, is a beautifully crafted emotional drama that strikes a chord with anyone who values deep human connections. The film's central theme-an exploration of family, love, and the weight of time-offers a touching narrative that reflects on the complexities of relationships.

From the outset, I was captivated by the story's unique use of a radio as a metaphor for connection across time. It wasn't just a plot device but a symbol of the emotional wavelengths that bind us to our past and loved ones. Prabhu Mundkur's performance as the protagonist stands out, with his quiet yet powerful portrayal of a man navigating both nostalgia and present-day realities. Roshni Prakash's role complements his performance perfectly, adding layers of warmth and introspection.

The film's cinematography elevates its emotional depth, capturing the beauty of everyday life while weaving in moments of almost magical realism. The pacing, while deliberate, allows the story's emotional weight to sink in, particularly during key scenes where time travel is hinted at, offering viewers an allegory for the timelessness of love and memories.

If you're drawn to stories that are rich in sentiment but not overly sentimental, Murphy offers an immersive experience that resonates long after the credits roll. It's a must-watch for anyone who enjoys introspective films with a touch of magic.

Murphy is one of the typical time travel movie connecting 2 different time with beautifully crafted stories.

Well played by cast and all departments.

Must watch for all Kannada movie lovers.

After Blink movie this is really still running in my mind and their characters played with story.. Kudos to the entire team for a beautiful movie.

Please do watch it in theatres nearby and encourage the Kannada industry to promote these kind of movies in future.

Every department has worked hard even in story whether romance, love, emotional, comedy and acting.. really top notch.

Congratulations and all the best !!!

Murphy is a breath of fresh air for Kannada cinema! The visuals are stunning, immersing you in the world the filmmakers have so carefully crafted. But what really stands out is the well-woven story that keeps you hooked from start to finish.

The performances are top-notch, and the direction feels precise and innovative. It's not just a movie, it's an experience that deserves to be seen on the big screen. I gave it 10 stars because it truly raises. People need to come out and support movies like Murphy that push the boundaries and bring a fresh perspective. Don't miss it!

Super fantastic one.
