The Man-Animal relationship is something an important topic or subject for filmmakers because it is easy to build up so many emotional elements into it. Just remember the movies like Hatchi: A Dog's tale, A dog's purpose, etc we can find that kind of technique which makes the audience swirl into the depth of emotion even though the situation of pouring tears. I also belong to that category and shed tears while I finished Hatchi. 777 Charlie is similar to it, which leaves us from the theatre with wet eyes. Simply, the story of the movie relies on the relationship between Dharma (the protagonist) and Charlie (the other protagonist) with some top-notching emotional add-ups. How 'Keaton turned Charlie' came into the life of Dharma, who leads an untidy, lonely life, and how the influence of Charlie reshaped and revolve around his life, etc, are the main things that the movie discusses. Hats off to the wonderful performance of Charlie. He is the 'man (animal)' who stole everyone's heart. Along with Charlie, Rakshit Shetty also did his part brilliantly. Kiranraj, the director of the movie shaped everything from his own personal experience (he said so in an interview) and we can see the wholeness of the director in the film. He indirectly reflects his love for the legendary filmmaker Charlie Chaplin through he assigned that name to the protagonist. And also there is a slight director brilliance too in the movie where he named Keaton first to Charlie reflecting his love towards another filmmaker Buster Keaton. Directly or indirectly he just reveals his passion and admiration for the legends, both are comedians in the public domain but more than that when compared to their contribution to the film field. And I also noticed something in the film which looks comical in its aspect and that is the quote written on the waste bin near Dharma's house, the quote states that 'One man's trash is another man's treasure' and that quote remembers me another one that I heard on a film which also hit the theatres recently and that is 'One man's terrorism is another man's revolution. It was from Lokesh Kanagaraj's movie Vikram. Anyway, that remark was only for my satisfaction. Come back to the movie 777 Charlie, it is a beautifully executed saga of a Man and his pet.
