An inspiring take on the state of Kannada in Kasargod
23 December 2018
The film shows the life of children studying in a Kannada medium school in Kasargod in Kerala, which was once part of Karnataka. How will these children save their beloved Kannada school from closing down permanently by a cruel Malayali officer and the government & politics? The struggle and the peculiar way in which veteran actor Anant Nag saves this school, is shown vividly in the movie. The cheerful nature and the innocence of the children is also a treat to watch. There are many comedy sequences also which will keep you laughing throughout the movie. Though the film loses a bit of track after the interval, it's the introduction of Anant Nag's character and his antics which brings this movie alive till the end with a rousing climax, sure to give you goosebumps! The cinematography, the catchy songs, the film's hero Praveena's cute love story, the typical coastal Kannada accent spoken in the film, especially by the children and the typical village life people lead in Kasargod is shown brilliantly through the camera lens. All in all, director Rishab Shetty has created a wonderful film that every coastal Kannadiga will watch and enjoy!
