Bhadra is the son of an Dollu kunitha Artist, who has taught his son to ensure he takes the legacy and tradition forward. Bhadra's Dollu Kunitha team consists of his friends who are planning to move to Bengaluru City in search of a better paid job in order to look after their families and build a better life for themselves. This leaves Bhadra alone in the village as all his friends move out, forcing him to face the reality, challenging him to save the art form he is so passionate about.

With a short runtime of 97mins, Dollu is a straightforward story sans any commercial elements as it resorts to the realistic narrative of people's fate once they immigrate to bigger city to earn, leaving behind their roots. Through Bhadra, be it with the ideological clash with his father or the clash with his own friends, the director succeeds in presenting a real life scenario. However, the film does lose it's pace and feels all too preachy with the final act getting handled on the surface level only.

For that climax to work just through a speech, needed a proper build up and a better character arc to the sister's role. Also, I wish Bhadra's family and their contribution to the art, should have been the main focus to establish his need to fight for the art as well as for his village. Lastly, there is a magic in those beats and I really wished the film explored that through their performances culminating in a climactic performance. Despite this, it is still an honest attempt and well performed film which needs to be seen.

The film has very beautiful shots, I really like the main character and the beautiful village in the film, and how the director presents it beautifully. The director knows exactly what he wants to show, and he shows the complete dollu performance many times, in addition he also shows the emotions through the main character's practice, these elements show that dollu is a real art.

The story and reality is sad. The image of one person missing during the wedding performance really broke my heart, and when the hero went to persuade his friends later, especially the image of talking in the cab highlighted their respective helplessness, they were a group of such good partners but there was no way to help each other at this time. Modernization has literally swallowed up everything in the countryside, from the population to the culture. People need a better life and these needs depend a lot on money. The director gives the partners who go to the city ordinary jobs, but they still earn more than in the countryside, that's the reality.

At the end of the movie, the film gives a little hope that there will always be people who love their lives and their culture and are willing to pay for them. These arts can no longer return to their former appearance, but it is always better than its extinction.
