Sapta Sagaradaache Ello: Side A

Pure cinematic brilliance.. SSA is a poignant, immersive love story with its beautiful screenplay, acting and camera work is an absolute treat to the eyes. The whirlwind of emotions between 2 people in love is brilliantly woven into the simple storyline. The rigmarole Court procedures, Jail scenes etc provide backdrops that compliment the slow paced story. With such good movies the Kannada film industry is taking strides that can leapfrog it to its golden olden era.

I have to appreciate Rukmini Vasanth for her acting skills. She is such a natural.. Hope Kannada film industry retains such good talents and gives them good roles that showcases their performance. Just making the same old Machu, Long, Macho-ism movies will not get audiences attention.

Eagerly awaiting part 2 on Oct 20.

Mind-blowing and universal experience of cinema. What a movie. Thank you Rakshit and hemant for this experience. Story telling is an art and bringing that to cinema is simply marvelous with the universal content and making understand to lay man through an emotion i like it. All language cinema lovers can watch. It's an emotional experience with poetic love story and next door common people life story with such brilliant craft by hemant and team. Rakshit are simply superb and you made simple story grandeur like life time experience. Rukmini you're sweet and superb. All the cast and supporting were terrific. What story and film was still in the heart. Love this experience. Please do the more flim like this and society needs it.

How it rained in Bangalore and cools down the atmosphere, in the same way after watching the movie 'Sapta Sagaradache Ello - Side A', audience mind and body also cools down.

Manu and Priya live forever, opening everyone's hearts.

Rakshith's (as Manu) acting is at the peak and Rukmini's (as Priya) acting is top notch.

Hemanth Rao's strong poetic vision is fulfilled by his team member, cast and crew.

Special mention Charan Raj with his amazing background score and music direction and Advaita Gurumurthy with his beautiful cinematography. Every scene was a painting.

I recommend this movie to be watched on the big screen.

Waiting for the Side-B

All the best SSE team!

We walk out of cinema hall with a whole lot of emotions, there's a definite heart swell feeling, a sense of discomfort, bit of impatience and a lot of eagerness to watch side B already, in the midst of this 'sea' of emotions you are content to have witnessed such a beautiful poetic tale unfold in front of us . Happiness multiples for fans of Kannada movies :)

It's a movie we were longing for, we were deprived of for so long. It's a movie that we can celebrate, take pride of and definitely suggest to other language speakers. Certainly there was a similar impact after watching KGF/Kaantara but this touches you in a different way and leaves you with that feeling for very long.

Hats off to Hemanth & Rakshit to have that conviction and bring out a movie which isn't in sync with the ongoing trend. It again proves that movies have no boundaries and in essence it's always about telling a story and how good you are at that. So what makes SSE so special? It has literally ticked every box. It's so original, realistic, and organic all at same time. The writing is splendid, it's been long time watching such a mature and intense love story still fused with some fine heartwarming moments. This excellent writing is perfectly justified with brilliant acting, the chemistry between lead actors is so natural and intense that we can feel their every emotion very close, it completely captivates our consciousness and we start rooting for them from the word go. It's really hard to believe it's a debut movie for Rukmini, just too good! Maybe the pearl we have found in 'Sapta sagara'. Her makeup less face resembles the realism that movie carries in a perfect way.

The casting has worked out so well. Cinematography and production is par excellence which takes us to the world of Priya & Manu so seamlessly. And then our own Music Wiz Charan Raj elevates the movie to whole next level and doesn't let movie's intensity drop one bit at any point. Movie is so good that we wouldn't mind to ignore some very small issues (that if we find any) Altogether this is an exceptional piece of art that must be experienced on a big screen and let it be etched in our memories forever! Looking forward for side B!

"Pain is the price we pay for love"

After watching 'Saptha Sagaradache Ello, I don't have just one emotion. It's mix of feelings, I guess. I typically avoid intense love story movies, even though I'm a sucker for love stories, because they often come with too much pain, and I'd rather not carry that with me. However, my all-time favourite romantic movie is '96' which is also quite intense.

The beauty of 'Saptha Sagaradache Ello' lies in the Manu-Priya pair. I don't think anyone can portray Rakshith Shetty or Rukmini Vasant on screen as effectively as they did. I felt the emotions they conveyed on screen; they made such a lovely pair. Throughout the film, I kept telling myself not to dwell on their separation. Their eyes were attractive and emotional at the same time, making us connect deeply with them. I can't get over their chemistry, and I don't want to forget this pair.

Regarding the music, Charan Raj intensified the scenes with his background music. He has a skill for heightening emotions to their peak. Just Loved it. One of my favourite songs from the film was 'Horata.' Rakshith Shetty & Rukmini Vasant performed superbly, and their chemistry, especially through their eyes, was a treat to watch. If I could ask the writer-director Hemant Rao one thing, it would be why this pair had to have such a sad ending. Why couldn't they return to a normal life? I know it's all fictional, but a part of me wishes for them to be together in the end. I really want them to be together, although it seems unlikely.

In the second half of the film, two scenes between Priya and her mother were particularly emotional, for me Rukimi vasanth's performances peaked here. The parallel scene in the climax, where they were parting ways but still shared the same pain, was moving. Likewise there are so many more scenes to tell about.

The movie left me with deep pain 💔. Love can bring immense pain, and enduring suffering for it is a form of love too. Film has too many metaphors, as we dig we get too many of them and their story and pain is just like deep of a sea. This film should touch many hearts.
