I was quite skeptical going in and even when the movie started. But I was pleasantly surprised at how gripping the movie was and the relevance of the movie in today's world. The multi dimensional twists were fantastic. The theme is bold and the twists are bolder.

The simple setup and acting by every actor is a highlight. I'm so impressed with the movie that I am telling all my network of people about it and pushing them to go watch it asap although it's uncertain of the delivery channel.

Finally the Kannada movies have arrived for a different persona. I'm in fact proud of the movie as if I made it!!!

Please go ahead and watch this movie and you will not be disappointed for sure.

The movie effectively portrays women in powerful societal roles, gradually revealing the extent of their influence. Something that we miss in most of our cinema.

Loved how it tackles caste and social dynamics head-on, offering a nuanced perspective. The characters are depicted with realistic complexity, avoiding clear-cut distinctions between good and bad.

Additionally, the film is likely to pass the Bechdel test. That was fantastic

Thank you Prithvi Konanur!

Watched it at the Kerala International Film Festival.

The film has a solid script. With a twist every 5 minutes, it runs like a thriller and moves at a decent pace. Deals with a number of pertinent issues without ever becoming preachy or taking up activism.

Pros: The acting is solid from everyone. The screenplay is sturdy. Dialogs are very very real.

Cons: Production value could have been better. But it's understandable given the low budget. Camera Work could have been slightly better. Also the duration can be reduced a bit.

Verdict: A well written, a well directed, extremely well acted solid drama that works for most parts.

Special shout out to the lead actress, the vice principal, the principal, the activist lawyer, the judge and the college students who rebel.

Beautiful movie handled very sensitively, no long boring scenes, to the point , 100% in touch with reality. New actors have done a great job and the direction and story is so good that you don't need any fancy stars or songs to carry the movie.

The college authorities are genuine and reminds one of our college days and dealing with professors and such. The teenagers have essayed their roles with great maturity and keeping it to the point

All roles large or small make an impact including the court announcer with the funny case calling which I think is again very real to life

Kudos to entire team for taking up a difficult subject and presenting it with such care that makes you want a sequel.

We had a great Sunday evening at Pollack theatres in Arizona. We not only watched the film, but also interacted with the movie artists.

This film must not be missed as it brings to limelight perineal problems of the society pertaining to younger generation, the caste system and the disparity of opinion between authorities that impact decision making. The credible and compelling theme; the genuine setting and characterisation; and the well sequenced events engrosses the audience to an extent that they forget about the intermission and music.

The characterisation is genuine. Whether it is a college principal, a staff, a student, a parent, a stakeholder, or police constable, each one's concern, their stress and their struggle to find a solution feels genuine and believable.

The only refinement may be needed in the audio in a few scenes and a few shaky slides.

The movie leaves the audience debating over a thought provoking and a strong message. The audience is also seen anxious to see the next twist and imagine a solution.
