The film mainly revolves around a female police officer. She is confronted by a complicated crime case which brings in several challenges for her, even to the extent of changing her entire life as a police officer. How exactly she tackles the case, uncovering the trail of truth, lies and uncertainty forms the crux of the story.
The film has a very meticulous look and feel to it. Each and every scene in the film has a rich tone attached to it. The cinematography is absolutely brilliant and plays the main role in keeping the viewer from getting off-board. It is almost on par with Hollywood when it comes to this department. However, the screenplay is not gripping enough to keep you hooked to the screen. It is very slow paced and almost feels like the film never takes off.
The story however has its own sophistication and the right qualities, forming an intelligent climax which impresses the viewer. The casting of the film is wonderfully done and it's Nithya Shri's show all through the film. The model turned actor has given a splendid performance. Her looks and mannerisms displayed in the film are admirable.
All in all, this is an intricate piece of work comprising of some impressive performances. However the not so gripping screenplay and slow pace hinders the film considerably from standing out as a riveting crime drama.

It tries too hard to be deep but came across very shallow to me. In particular I didn't like lead character.

Here's the thing. Just because the film has no super stars or it is a simple thriller doesn't make it a breakthrough or any good if not great film.
Quite a lot of problems from a writer's perspective. I'll get to what's good later.
The lead actress looks clueless in every scene. Her wide eyes at times and shimmering eyes at times made me laugh at odd times. She never has the body language of a police officer. There's a lot of characters wasted in the film and under development of characters, unnecessary characters wasting the moments in the film. Sudharani's character, her husband, prakash belavadi, his wife, the Commissioner all have badly written characters. The first half is so slow and nothing happening. The very beginning of the film until the film title appears on screen has been tried to be shown as a thrilling beginning but has nothing to be thrilling about and hence a very badly opened film for a thriller.
The first case she works on is left to the dogs the moment a second one arrives. The connection takes way too long to connect and thus there is disconnection between the two cases because of the time gap. I have no idea who the police are beating in one scene. Throughout the film, her boss is wearing police uniform but she isn't. What the hell is this?
As for the 2nd half, sudharani and her husband's characters are so calm though they are facing a probable tragedy. The guy who traces calls looks like he is listening to music on his laptop. I laughed at that. A crime branch officer going here and there and asking questions and demanding things with citizens without actually introducing herself - Seriously? What's with the commissioner's hatred towards the lead character, why was he speaking to her rudely throughout the film, from the very beginning to the very end? So many continuity errors in acting too.
The climax is so, so cliche and the villain is so calm and has no power in acting, character and the dialogues are so badly written. Sudha Rani's acting/ charcter is so bad. Even after knowing who did what, the cop lady doesn't do anything. What the hell is going on? The final walk is a walk of shame - a cop who never wore make-up (on screen) wears lipstick, who never wore the police uniform, picks up her uniform and walks. Why?
As for whats good, is that unlike most Kannada films, this film has no 'raising voice' dialogues, the lead character is a fresh face, that's it.
The scene just before the interval is so bad, I wanted to quit watching but I went on because this was more like an indie film and I wanted to give it a go. I so badly wanted this film to work because such films prove we don't need the 'super stars' whose films have only style and some horribly written dialogues but this film was such a disappointment.

Amazing job by team Vrithra! I liked how the course of the movie slowly built up and the way it ended. And also, I'd like to appreciate the camera work. Each character in the movie just felt right. Overall, it was thrilling 😎. Thanks for the wonderful experience. Hoping for "Vrithra" success party to happen soon!

After watching this movie I have hell lot of questions on my mind
1 . Why actress is not wearing uniform in her whole investigation.
2 . If she didn't wear thats okay, but why she is returning her uniform directly to commissioner😅?
3 . What is the relationship between vrithra and movie characters..?
4 . Why villain throws books on coffee table, that too empty ..?
5 . Why kidnapped girl drown same image in her home . No relation with story..?
6 . What is the use of aadhar card in this movie and why he collected it..?
7 . Why this actress is not able to capture that person in interval..?
8 . The normal suicidal case that to not suspicious. But lead actress whats to solve this case..?
9 . If father can informed her daughter about kidnapping does any difference happens..?
10 . Why villain is keeps gupthas daughter in her home instead of sending and waiting for police to come..?he can return money to guptha but he didn't.
We can send this movie oscar in worst movie award category.how can some one choose actress like this . She didn't have minimum body language as a poliçe.
All side character did have any connection over the story. They come and go not do anything in the movie.
Worst worst worst....✌🏻

Kannada movie industry needs more movies like this, story oriented, investigative.. Sad that there is no much promotion and buzz for movies like this.. Though it could have been even better but full marks to the attempt.. Must watch..

Started well and turned into a joke! Acting is bad, police doesn't wear uniform even once! Police job made to look like a child's play..

Beautifully directed movie with equally stunning cinematography. Supporting cast do really well, story keeps you hooked into throughout. Both the veterans give you money's worth. Great debut by the lead actor. Direction and Camera work seem really mature and experienced for a debut. Overall a good debut package! Worth a watch!

The title Vrithra had caught my attention as I knew about the mythological character and seat for the movie and watched it on Amazon prime video, was really surprised by the story telling and how mature the narration was. Hope to see more such content in Kannada
