Agnyathavasi

They are marketing movie saying good content but movie is very slow and nothing much interesting. Cant be called as thriller as there is no thrill. Except good acting of the seasoned actors nothing much to expect from this movie. Had high expectations from director of Gultoo Janardhan and producer Hemanth , but turned out to be an ordinary movie. Definitely not a worth watch in theatre and can be a one time watch in ott if no better option . Film is shot in very good locations and the cinematography is good. Background music is ordinary which could have been better to compliment ordinary story.

Great screenplay, superb acting. Must watch for people who like malayalam thrillers and complain about Kannada movies not being able to produce great thrillers. Keep it up! Suspense could have been built even more until the climax. The cinema hits it out of the park with this gripping thriller! The screenplay is fantastic and the acting is superb. If you're a fan of Malayalam thrillers or have been disappointed by Kannada movies in this genre, this one's a must-watch. Kudos to the team! One suggestion - a bit more suspense building up to the climax would have taken it to the next level. PLEASE WATCH IN CINEMAS.

Different title Agnyathavasi written in interesting font, and above all, the intriguing, layered face of Rangayana Raghu on the poster (reminding of his look in Shakahaari) pulled me to watch this film over others on my watchlist.

The film opens with parallel tracks and a bunch of characters, leaving us puzzled - even disoriented in the first half. But this narrative chaos seems intentional to build tension and curiosity, making us wonder how - or if - all these threads will converge. Thankfully, they do, and with finesse. The director ties the loose ends into an impactful climax that gives a profound message on parenting.

Rangayana Raghu delivers a nuanced performance reminding us of his portrayal in Shakahari. His portrayal is restrained, and emotionally layered - a man burdened by the weight of choices, yet silent in his suffering.

Siddu Moolimani catches our attention with his expressive face, whose performance as a youngster of the 90s adds enthusiasm to the narrative. The rest of the cast too, mostly from the theatre background are impressive.

Set in a time when owning a computer was a life's milestone, the experience of connecting to the internet using dial-up modem, the thrill of logging into email, the excitement of online chats. For anyone who grew up in the '90s, these moments are pure nostalgia.

Agnyathavasi is not for the impatient viewer. Watch it with no distractions till the end to feel the impact.

Great acting, good story line... Keeps you hook up the whole movie without getting you bored.. must watch...every actor has given their best... Ragu sir though, too good for an actor... Idk why this movie remains underrated... Why this movie didn't get the limelight... I wish we get such movies in the industry and such movies get the limelight they deserve...

Inspector Govindu is residing in Nalkeri, Malnadu and has been leading a peaceful life as the locality is largely crime free, resulting in the local police station to barely exist. It's the late 90s and the boom of computers is slightly beginning. Rohit convinces his brother to buy him a computer which everyone else resents. The village's landlord Srinivasaiah is lonely after his son left him and Pankaja, a girl from the same village is in love with Srinivasaiah's son. 2 mysterious death happen in a fateful night and Inspector Govindu solves it instantly while it leads to another case from the past. How did he solve the case and what really happened in the past, forms rest of the story.

The film had the right setting and spends the entire first establishing the plot. The film picked up when Ananthu starts to question Govindu and that would remain the best part of the film. The whole Malenadu setting and limited characters should have ideally made way for a gripping murder mystery but the slow paced writing simply doesn't allow the script to evolve. The tone is laced with humor in the first half which makes it little tough to take seriously and the non-linear narrative doesn't add anything positive. The film has solid actors but doesn't give them much to work on. Overall, Agnyathavasi is a misfire.
