Kaatera

After watching Roberrt, i became a fan of Tharun Sudhir. Before that, i thought Tharun was yet run of the mill mass director of sandalwood, but Roberrt changed my perspective of him.

Coming to Kaatera, from the beginning till the end, it was just non-stop entertainment for me. Personally i watch too many English films, so have set a high standard for myself, to not tolerate cliche crap we see in indian films. I was waiting to get bored somewhere in the middle or get angry with something or other, but surprisingly, the whole movie went smoothly for me.

Darshan has done an amazing job. The director has extracted excellent acting from all the actors. Production values by Rockline are great. The graphics are commendable. Fights have come out very well. I recommend this film to anyone who wants great entertainment.

The acting by all the cast of the movie is awesome n the look of darshan sir is at next level . Awesome direction by tarun sudhir sir the meaning and the way of presenting the message is awesome a must watch movies for everyone irrespective of their hero/fan base every person should watch it and it's a perfect family entertainment movie. The acting of the daughter of malashri mam the debut heroine in the movie Aradhana is mind blowing she didn't look like a new comer /fresher to the industry even for the single second in the movie n her dance steps n her moves were mind blowing n fantastic. The dailogues by Maasti sir is awesome. It's a award deserving movie #Dboss #darshan #Superdirection #Blockbuster #awesome #Superacting.

It's a come back film for darshan with his mind blowing screen presence. It narrates the 90s real incidents. Great acting by all the cast.its purely a kannada content and fresh content. Everybody should watch it to experience reality of life of farmers in 90s.

After a long time darshan worked with a good director and selected good script.

You can experience the mass elevation with extra added flavour like music by V. Harikishna. Mind-blowing bgm given by Hari Krishna.

You will never get bored until the end of the movie because of its well written script and well driven screenplay by Tharun Sudhir.

Kaatera being a Non PAN Indian Movie could prove everything. Simple content of a former but beautifully portrayed by Tharun Sudhir. Of course without farmers we are nothing. Formers grow God(Rice, Wheat, Ragi etc) and the only power to grow God is with Farmers is a concept which went through the hearts of Kannadigas. Perfection I would say!

Coming to each department, Everyone have done their acting as per the requirement and content. The movie is clearly made for the audience who search for content. These kind of movies which uplift the formers strength should be made these ways. As they call out in Karnataka "Jai D Boss".

Skeletal remains of 107 unknown victims are found and the forensic team is on with their investigation to find out the truth behind that many deaths. Meantime, people of Bheemanahalli are donating their hard earned money to get their saviour Kaatera, released on parole to attend the village festival. There are forces that are against his release and with his parole granted, he is accompanied by a constable to be his escort. As they start their journey back to the village, Kaatera opens up about his past. Who is Kaatera? What crime did he commit to serve prison sentence and how did he became the saviour of an entire village, is revealed in the rest of the story along with those 107 skeletons.

It's been quite some time since Darshan gave a good film that not only was aimed at the fans but also entertain the neutral audience as well. The only director to pull that off currently is Tharun Sudhir. Their last offering Roberrt pleased the fans and this time Tharun has picked up a subject that makes Darshan the actor surrender to the script than have it entirely woven around his star image. It's a welcome to see him play a character and there are those well timed hero elevation scenes and fights, but this one is more story driven. The non-linear narrative is old school which again is Tharun Sudhir's forte and he delivers.

With an ensemble cast, it is also rare to see a top superstar sign such films dealing with the prevalant caste issues and merge it with the land reforms act to tackle the farmer's issue. Evil zamindars oppressing a village is a done to death story but when well told, it simply turns into an entertaining affair. While the love story drags with barely any chemistry and the glaring age gap, Tharun packs a punch whenever he shifts the focus to the main issues. There were 3 main action scenes and a short one, which more or less served their purpose to present Darshan the way his audience want to see him. Aradhana Ram tries and as it is her debut film, have to cut some slack for her earned attempt. The battalion of villains are pretty generic and it was good to see Vinod Alva. It take enough cinematic liberties, borrows ideas too but Tharun Sudhir with each film is just growing as a director, building his credibility and yes, Darshan - Tharun Sudhir has turned into this promising combo to look out for.
