I absolutely loved the book references, movie references and the bgm of the movie. It's well crafted. The music, the lyrics of the songs are something I wanna listen to over and over again!

I liked how a lot of new artists were introduced in the movie.

I don't think the kannada audience in my theatre enjoyed the new concept, recieved a lot of negative comments towards the end of the movie.

I'm glad I enjoyed this movie in the theatres given that the bgm is splendid!

I could very well spot the mad love towards kannada, cinema, books and music. For someone who loves books, music and cinema, this movie was a package deal!

How does Apoorva figure out what's happening with him and will he be able to figure out the mystery behind his father's disappearance? Is Arivu really trustworthy, forms rest of the story.

This is a film truly made by a cinephile and there are cinematic reference galore throughout the film. The director even acknowledges the films he took inspiration from. Merging Oedipus Rex with sci-fi time travel narrative is not an easy task and that too for debut director. On that front, it is a brave attempt which muse be lauded. To speak of what didn't work for me was the different actors cast in the same character as the timeline progresses and it just wasn't justifiable casting though the actors did their job well. I usually refrain from mentioning editing in reviews, but here better editing was required especially in the first half.

Even the inspirations taken, those aren't easy to sell it to the audience. Here the director gets the support of his able cast who carry the complex story forward. The usage of Janapada songs was definitely impactful while the couple of other compositions were fine. The main focus of the narrative should have been between Apoorva and Arivu from early on but first half mere gives the glimpse of it with Apoorva chasing him. It is only in the third act where these two characters flourish together and that throwback to Oedipus Rex play comes out effectively. Overall, this must be watched for the attempt and to support the talent that dares to think outside the routine.

I was totally blank about it's concept before doing deep dive into the movie. Initial 45Min was such a painful to watch because we didn't have any clue ; what the hell in going on the screen? The chemistry between the leading couple was also not that exciting in that period of time. BUT in the 2nd Half this movie it turned extremely upside-down. When the actual concept of the movie got revealed at the 50-55Min excitement for this movie came back rapidly. And from that scene it's peaked it's pace and screenplay got interesting. It kept going on until the climax situation came, where we can notice a major loophole, which simply bend our mind! And we felt like WTF was that? And with so much confusions here and there they just ended it aesthetically.

So basically this movie is not for everyone, especially who loves fast paced movie will surely leave this film at the middle part. For a cinephile it will feel like an average movie. And those who watched such concepts before will feel like something is missing in this entire movie! But in my personal view I can assure that if we consider the entire plot and the leading character's act in the climax blended the plot nicely and plot is justified somehow!

Acting performances of all the characters were too good. Music was good as well. Cinematography was brilliant despite a strict budget movie. Editing was well and good except the first half where storyline got dragged in extreme where an average cinema lover will leave his/her attention from the plot.

Good to Go with Family. From my side it will be 6 Out of 10 Stars for it..
