I literally need an hour to explain the brilliant making of this movie!
So happy that kannada film industry is giving so much importance to such craft-oriented movies, Whole kudos to the team!
Starting with the story, On a birds-eye view, this is such a light-hearted story with a touch of bliss, but the way it was presented took the movie as a craft to a whole platform.
The story evolves through the mind of the protagonist, through which the director makes us see the movie from a protagonist's perspective. His queries are our doubts, and his emotions are our aches, all together, after a point in time, director Suni made the line between the audience and the protagonist fade away while the movie proceeds.
Well-stiched editing! The editor was so subtle that never in the movie we felt it's been edited at all! Editing elevated the movie on its own. Brilliant placement of bgms and songs.
None of the reviews has mentioned about editing department which I feel is a win for the editor, coz the fact that editing itself was invisible is considered as the true art of editing.
Awesome cinematography! Captured the emotions just like it is!
Music is the soul of the movie, along with the placements with editing, it's just pure bliss! The songs will be in the list of every music enthusiast, and the album is a sure evergreen hit!
The director has won our hearts, through this tailor-made craft of a cinema! Rajesh Nataranga scored through his top-notch performance
Vinay Rajkumar elegantly delivered the role Athishay as a whole. We couldn't see anything except the character, The Performance was chisel-made, and we can evidently see his growth as an actor in this movie, so mature and decent in delivering the emotions.
Swatista Krishnan's performance and the chemistry btw Vinay Rajkumar made the movie more pleasing. Swatista, really owned the movie during the last ACT of the screenplay, Casting her in such a demanding role was a great decision by the director as she effortlessly pulled off such a complex character.
Mallika singh did her job pretty decent and gracefully. The character was so well placed in the movie, The Dreamgirl paradox was symbolically represented by the director through scenes and character arc. She surely did justice to the Dreamgirl character 'Madhura'.
Aruna Balraj, such a natural actress, was so good and made acting feel so effortless!
Karthik Mahesh has done a cameo in the movie, was so amazed to see his polished acting skills within the small timespace, A majestic performance by him for such a pivotal role in the movie changed the entire dynamics.
Raghavendra Rajkumar, the legend himself has done a cameo in the movie, that too a pivotal character.
All the other actors have done a great job and its well rich in terms of cast.
All together,a simple story, great craft, and a brilliant presentation!
