Murphy

So well made!

This kinda time travel movie has never been done before in Sandalwood. And it's so masterfully crafted too. No loose ends. No paradoxes. No Deus ex machinas.

Just pure logical sci-fi. Top notch acting by the leads and Dattanna as well.

And we had the honor of interacting with the cast and crew after the movie screening which was a cherry on top. (Orion Mall, Rajajinagar)

It feels low-key inspired by "The Butterfly Effect" movie where a smallest of the small things affect bigger things. But cannot remember any other movie doing this concept in KFI. A pinnacle of experimental movies.

It's a great script and the movie is very well written on the page. From my perspective, the execution isn't as good. For example, I didn't feel the 1996 era and Janani still looked younger at the climax .

There was a possibility the director could have used artificial intelligence , how Janani would look at the age 50 +, and had her make up that way... that would have been better ....... The visuals are very good...appreciated .

I wish the movie had more impactful background scores that added a magical touch throughout. Perhaps budget constraints played a role (not sure), but these aspects could have been improved: 1. The background music (BGM) overall 2. The depiction of the 1996 timeline difference 3. Janani's appearance in the climax Enhancing these elements might have elevated the movie into the ranks of the industry's best.

ALL THE BEST FOR ENTIRE TEAM........CREATE ANOTHER GOOD STORY JONRA THAT KANNADA NOT YET EXPLORED.......

A very beautiful movie! I've seen quite a few time travel movies but the way this movie is presented on a relatively similar concept is amazing. Story revolves around a person in the present unexpectedly getting connected with a lady in the past n trying to help her to get her love life settled n thereafter interconnection of that love story to the present. The initial few minutes looked very dumb but the way soon it picks up the storyline is admirable. The climax gives one emotional goosebumps. Story doesn't get diverted anywhere, no unwanted masala, keeps one captivated through an emotional saga of love, hope, sacrifice. Didn't expect it could be so good. The man in lead character in 2 different roles has perfectly fit in into the character. Strongly recommended one to watch it. Available in Amazon Prime only in Kannada. My ratings 8/10!

Really good acting by all the actors and with a very good storyline. The hero has acted very well, does not feel like a newcomer. He will be a guy to watch out for and hope he chooses movies with good content going forward.

Background music is pleasant, is not overdone, and very good story telling.

Really well made sci-fi movie, captivating throughout. Good content oriented movie, hard to get such movies in kannada industry. Direction is amazing, expect similar good movies from this team in the future.

Please watch it and encourage this team.

Dattatreya sir is a treat to watch as always :)

Joe Murphy wants to gift his dad the precious radio post-repair but on the way home, he meets with an accident. Years later in 2024, his son David has been raised by his grandfather who is still attached to the radio and David wants to repair it as a surprise. He falters in it and soon, gets a bigger surprise when a cross connection happens in the radio transmission to a person named Janani in 1996. As they bond over their radio conversation, he realizes there is still chance to change the past and Janani being the key. How do they learn the laws of physics when it comes to Love in this process, forms rest of the story.

Murphy joins the list of beautifully shot Kannada films this year and is aided by some beautifully written lines. The drama which uses time travel as a plot point is all about good vibes and the director has a firm grip on the film's tonality which doesn't change from start to finish. However, the screenplay remains quite predictable and there is no surprise in the store. This at times does feel dragged and one wishes to have made a better balance between both the love stories - 1996 and 2024, rather than solely focusing on 1996. It is still a good attempt and I definitely don't want to run it down because of the predictability.
