I was mind blown by the movie. The direction, the dialogues, the music everything is top notch. Everyone must watch this movie which makes us look into our own consciousness. The performances are so perfect that each character looks real. The storytelling is so engaging that it keeps you hooked to the screen. The way the movie starts giving an ode to the age old story of Scheherazade who survived the monstrous king by telling stories. The depiction of dystopian future makes us reflect that are we heading towards such catastrophe. We hardly get to see such movies these days which is about human emotions. This movie deserves all the love that it is getting.

In a dystopian future, a nomad has only stories to narrate so that he can save himself from armed hunters. When he is about to be executed, he convinces them to listen to his stories and narrates four of them. One involving a beggar woman accused of kidnapping a child. A boy who has survived child abuse but is living with the scars, turning him into an anti social element. An old couple where the husband is trying to fulfill his wife's wish to visit Bengaluru city. Lastly, a local goon picking up a fight with an IT employee. What happens in each of this stories and to the storytelling nomad, with the gist of these stories being one's transformation in the ever changing world.

Mithilesh Edavalath's direction is well intentioned and driven by philosophy of basic human nature. With each phase of our lives, there comes the moment of transformation and it's upto the individual to recognize his/her moment. The anthology has it's highs and lows. The best story being that of the old couple and I could instantly connect with these characters. I might not get on board with it's ending but the emotions clicked. Similarly, the segment with the beggar woman and the masterstroke was narrating it through the new constable's pov. It made me root for the character and the ending was satisfactory. The other two segments involving the boy and the conflict between two men was half backed and rushed. I did get the point but with the time constraint, these two stories don't really drive home the point as intended. Setting aside the preachy narrative, two of the stories individually worked big time for me.

I sincerely request people to support Raj Shetty's movies. He is trying his best to bring KFI to a new level, good movies with great stories. Let's not promote one-man shows that influence a rowdy culture to our society and kids. Raj Shetty's movies strike your heart. The story, narration, direction, acting, background music etc., everything was just TOP NOTCH! While everyone performed their roles to the fullest with no stone unturned, Somshekar Bolegaon and his partner stole the show for me. It's very unfortunate and heartbreaking that Somshekar Bolegaon passed. If he has alive, there are no 2 thoughts about him getting an award for best performance.

Don't think twice. Watch this movie and support all movies like this for KFI to prosper. To the Director, Story Writer, Producer, Actors, and rest of the crew - THANK YOU & KUDOS!! Waiting for more!

Roopanthara 🎬 I don't know whether I like this movie or not, but this film made me think about life, people, society, and so on. Film is kind of a tree; it may have branches, but it's deep-rooted. Story has different approaches and narratives, and it's all about true transformation.

Its well-written story and brilliantly executed. Actors performance is top notch, especially the old couple who steal the show.

In this world, each one has their own different story. It's too early to judge anyone. We are all here to transform.

What story do you choose when someone says this is going to save your life.
