Orchestra Mysuru

As an ardent Orchestra fan right from my childhood days in the late 70s and 80s...I can relates to all the characters shown in this movie and their challenges and aspirations.

A well made movie that requires a better showcase in the theaters.

Hats off to the conviction of the director and producers of this movie in brining the details of what happens behind the scenes of everyone associated with this occupation and hurdles that have to go thru just to be recognized as someone attempting to make a name for himself or herself.

Applaud Raghu Dixit on brining this to life ....Wishing him more success...👋👍🙌

Wonderfully made movie. Simple story presented very well. Lovely and cute movie with super perfect acting by all. Story is the main lead actor here and hence no 'overrated'', overacting' and 'ugly' scenes or dialogues. Every scene carries the story forward. It presents the story of every Orchestra musicians, layer by layer. No scene is out of place. No character is unwanted. Screenplay and dialogue is pure, simple and realistic. Music is lovely. 'Nadiyondu' is one of the best Kannada film songs in recent years. 'Haaduve' song gives goose bumps with its symphonic crescendo in the end. Raghu Dixit has done wonders with his music. Poorna as Poorna is closer to your heart and you feel for him despite his web of lies. Orchestra Mysuru is one of the cleanest and beautiful made in Kannada in recent years. Hats off to the team.

Sunil Mysuru and team's ambitious project is honest to the core but gets tad bit pulled back by the slow narrative and long runtime which is close to 3hrs. Firmly aided by Raghu Dixit's music, the world of orchestra is well built and not to forget the support provided by Dileep Raj as Orchestra Star Naveen Raj. The research behind the world of orchestra completely shows as the makers claim it to be based on the real life experiences of Naveen Sajju and Raghu Dixit.

Poornachandra is an aspiring singer searching for a breakthrough. He loves singing and only seeks the chance to sing. He approaches Naveen Raj for a chance to join his orchestra team hoping to get a chance to sing. But Naveen Raj is focused on his single goal to sing at Yuva Dasara, an opportunity not given to local orchestra singers and this has made him an ignorant towards fellow artists. How Poorna makes it as a singer by overcoming the challenges thrown by Naveen Raj forms the story.

The detailing in presenting the life of orchestra singers, capturing Mysuru, good performances and music are it's strength. The slow pace does hinder the flow till a song carries the story forward. The humor works well too. With a crisp runtime, the film could've made a lasting impact as the third act is beautifully conceptualized between Poorna and Naveen Raj.

The sheer naturalness of this film disproves the notion that success is a selfish goal, which is what the filmmakers have achieved. More tales like this one, with their less showy presentation of what they have to say, should be told.

The movie can keep you interested despite its length, with the exception of the predictable finish. The pattern is largely conveyed through the story of dreams and adversity, but what jumps out most is the honesty with which emotions are handled. It keeps its heart in the right place throughout.

It's clear that "Orchestra Mysore" is a beautiful film for this festival.

Film scores well in most of the areas. To begin with the acting of Poornachandra , he is an absolute talent . His extraordinary skills will definitely take him to a greater heights. Rajalakshmi has done well too, but dubbing artist for rajalakshmi could have done better. Director has won first half by gluing audience to their seats. Second half too was equally good however, could have been cut short by 20 mins. Music scores well with meaningful lyrics , though not catchy. (Dum idre hodi) only song that registered. Definitely worth a watch to support our mysore talents sure to make big names...
