VR (Vikrant Rona)

As far as its visual aesthetics and sound design is concerned; the movie set a new standard for all the regional industries around. The massive sets, the gorgeous color grading, and the art direction, in general, have valiantly put forth an immaculate display that ostensibly had both style and significance! Sadly, the same set of remarks does not seem to apply to the script!

The sort of grace they effortlessly conveyed through their graphical presentation is missing in their Writing counterpart. While the narrative tends to get pretty gloomy and ambitious with its somewhat serious tonality, the 'supposed' twists and turns, however, fail to create a lasting impact.

Despite having a bunch of known faces in the ensemble, almost all the characters come off as premature, and underdeveloped. With the sole exception of our lead protagonist, Vikrant Rona, played by an ever charismatic Kichcha Sudeepa who with his incessant appeal more than makes up for the apparent inadequacies.

It's certainly a step in the right direction as well as a big leap for the Kannada Industry, but still, they have a long way to go, and lots of hurdles to overcome.
