Ibbani Tabbida Ileyali

I had the chance to attend the premier and boy was I lucky to experience something as pleasant a movie I've seen in a longtime. Having gone to watch this with not many expectations made me think if my verdict would have changed if otherwise because it would exceed all of it. The performances are top notch and so very natural. Such movies need not be analysed because of its rarity given the large number of ordinary movies we get to choose week in week out. Ankita, the lead heroine has delivered one of the finest performances in recent times with Vihaan and Mayuri matching her in every scene. Go out and watch this masterpiece.

"Ibbani Tabbida Ileyali" is a visual treat, with stunning cinematography and a soothing color palette that truly comes alive on the big screen. This is a film that deserves to be seen in theaters.

The film beautifully captures the complexities of love and life through the eyes of its lead characters. Vihan Gowda delivers a standout performance, portraying his character's emotions with a naturalness that's both relatable and captivating. Ankita Amar also shines in her role.

Writer-director Chandrajith Belliappa's skillful storytelling, combined with the film's poetic dialogue and well-crafted screenplay, creates an engaging and thought-provoking experience. The interval leaves you hanging, eager to see how the story unfolds.

I particularly appreciated the film's lack of reliance on clichés like alcohol or tobacco, and its focus on a realistic portrayal of relationships. In a time when most movies rely on action and defeating villains, "Ibbani Tabbida Ileyali" offers a refreshing change of pace. It's a classy film that will stay with you long after the credits roll.

Siddharth Ashok is about to get married to Radha but is yet to move on from the girl from his past, whom he hasn't seen in 7 years. He is not sure of going through with the marriage and love Radha, as much as he did Anahita. Ibbani Tabbida Ileyali takes us through Sid's first love and how it changes his life. But his first love ends before even starting and what really happened to Sid and Anahita? Why didn't they proceed with their love story? What will happen to Sid and Radha? The film portrays an emotional journey to answer these questions.

Ibbani Tabbida Ileyali is a visually stunning film and I really liked the color grading. The story is pretty much straight forward and the screenplay breaks it into multiple chapters which gets narrated in non-linear way. Ankita Amar excels in her role of Anahita as she gets all the best moments. For a straight forward story, it suffers from predictability and the slow paced narrative doesn't help. I didn't like how much Radha's character got sidelined as the story progressed. Setting aside these complaints, the film definitely had it's moments and especially the Goan taxi driver segment was my favorite. I am going with a lenient rating for the making and the performances. I wished the screenplay was more balanced and treated it's third main character with same importance as the other two.

"Ibbani Tabbida Ileyali" is a captivating story that leaves a lasting emotional impact. While there were moments where the pacing seemed a bit slow, I believe those pauses were necessary to fully flesh out the narrative. Without them, the story might have felt incomplete or unfinished. The emotions were consistently deep and moving, pulling the audience into the characters' journeys. The light-hearted comedic moments scattered throughout provided just the right balance, making the movie not just emotional but also enjoyable. These elements together elevated the film to something extraordinary.
