5/10
Naanu Kandante!
28 March 2014
This was one of the most anticipated movie of 2014! The trailer was a huge hit & with Rakshit Sir interacting with us in FB n twitter, I was able to understand his view/passion/commitment towards direction so I was waiting like a mad dog for this movie! The theater was full, the environment was great but I've to admit that I was kinda disappointed after the movie! Not saying its bad! Content & technicality wise, Movie is brilliant but because of Kundapura/Mangalore kannada, I was not able to understand 70-80% of the dialogues! I could have managed but throughout the movie it was not a good experience for me because the voices weren't audible enough! I'm not sure if it was the fault of Eshwari theater or the effect of sync sound system but we were not able to hear 60-70% of the dialogues! And it gets worse! There is no subtitles(There was subs for 6-9 dialogues but I see no point in that). So sadly for me, it was like watching a Japanese 'Roshomon' movie without audio & without subs! So the whole dialogue content was dots to me & I had to connect it by myself to understand what the characters said! I was not able to understand the Cuban kid & many other important thoughtful conversations in the movie! So I feel very bad for that! I don't want to completely blame it on M'lore kannada but subtitles should have been there for better & perfect understanding! And I also felt that the movie is dragged! I'm fine with movie being lengthy n slow paced but those scenes should make sense & it should be well connected with the story! So I think 10-15 mins should be chopped off!! Coming to the positive aspects I've to say the movie was brilliant & very very thoughtful! I'm very happy that we are gifted with one more brilliant writer-director Rakshit Shetty! Making is top class! We can see his work in every single frame! Story & screenplay is again too good! I can't say I loved the climax because I was able to predict it from the time when I heard 'Perspectives'in the trailer but it was very well executed! I loved all the characters & also loved the importance given to every single character! From Democracy to Rathnakka I think everyone did maximum justice to their role! The Maphia chase scene(background which looked like Sin City)was amazing, Mother-son scene was touching & Munna closing his eyes, visualising himself with Sharada on the beach, is just beautiful! Cinematography is perfect! Music was top notch! Hands down Ajaneesh Sir! :salute: Well Content & technicality wise it is one of the best movies in recent times! So if I was a critic I would have given 9or10/10! But I was a confused patron who was not able to completely understand the dialogues so I would give 7/10! So my only complaints are Movie length, No subtitles(Subs were there in the trailer, so I thought it would be here too) & the most of the dialogues being in Kundapura/M'lore Kannada! And Rakshit Sir, you are a brilliant maker! Hope u make more of such sensible movies!

Final Verdict - Movie was good n thoughtful but I couldn't enjoy it properly/perfectly!
