Koli Taal

This film reminded me of spending the night with my grandparents when I was young. My grandmother always cooked my favorite foods and took such delight in watching me enjoy her efforts. My grandfather could be a bit obsessive and cranky, so it all rang true.

The charm of this film takes me back to "The Gods Must Be Crazy" with its look at what appears to be a simple village life and a love for family.

A wonderful directorial feature debut for Abhilash Shetty who also wrote, edited and starred in the film.

The world of cinema can look forward to more from this young talent.

Highly recommend this wonderful slice of life comedy that truly delivers much more than its simple premise.

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.

This is one finest which will get back us into our childhood days and refresh our thoughts. In the midst of heroism and non veg joke movie this one is purely realistic and content based movie which recalls our memories back into times when we visited our grandparents. A simple tale turned out into beautiful family entertained movie in humorous way with regional dialect and view of nature(Sagara),regional culture and beliefs, love,care and bond between grandparents and grandson,chirping sound of birds, regional dance. In total will not only serve with chicken curry but as pure realistic film 'Koli Taal', indeed to be recalled and remembered.

Congratulations to whole team for their commendable efforts and making tremendous job in debut filmmaking.

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.

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,
