Sapta Sagaradaache Ello: Side B

One of the best Kannada movie (duology) I have ever seen.

The story, music, characters, emotions are so much intertwined that, you become Manu, Priya or Surabhi and live their emotions while watching the movie.

The masterpiece of Hemanth Rao's direction and the hardwork of actors (literally everyone) including the music which is the soul of this movie (Side A & Side B).

The struggle of a middle class couple whose love is challenged by a decision and how it changes everything in their lives and their future is been portrayed in the movie picture perfect way.

A must watch in the age of movies which has no substance and stupid comedy or fight based movies, this movie is like a beacon of light.

It took me to the depth of emotions by its strong and complex writting,fresh screenplay,it creates another world and its reflects true feelings of love. Director played with our emotions by his excellent content and story.

Rakshit Shetty did it very well,that music makes you indulge in the story. I forgot the outside world while watching this.

It's a best of the best ever made in Indian Cinema. It's an achievement in story,screenplay,music.

I cannot come out of that world till now. Worth to watch it.

With today's love culture, it's difficult to find this type of love.it depicts the real meaning of love.

The hue of the side B is aptly changed to Red from Blue of side A. While the Blue side A depicted the deep yet delicate, intense yet beautiful love between Manu and Priya, the Red side B is mature yet vulnerable!

Red depicts anger, revenge, passionate love all at the same time. Underlying emotion in both sides are exactly same.

Side B belongs to Rakshit Shetty - you start becoming Manu, delving deep into his mind and feeling every nuance of his thought, expression and action. Rakshit's performance is incredible. Rukmini Vasanth and Chaitra Achar are top notch. In fact Chaitra has nailed the character! Very subtle, real nuanced - There is a scene where she goes to meet Priya's husband - OMG, it is textbook ! Watch it to believe it.

Hemanth Rao's genius is translated into this poetic masterpiece. Music/BGM is in fact the other hero here... Climax tugs every string of your heart. The movie haunts you long long after you have watched it. It is simply difficult to come out of Manu's world after the movie gets over. Heart feels heavy, mind get blown... Overall, watch it for the Performances, for Hemanth's poetic capture, supreme cinematography and simply for Manu!

Side B continues the journey with the same finesse and realism as Side A. It is again well made, with a good, deliberate pace that allows you to feel every emotion deeply. The story remains simple but is layered with intense, realistic emotions of longing, guilt, and unconditional love.

Rukmini Vasanth acted wonderfully in Side B, bringing her character's layers to life with grace and subtlety. (Note: The second heroine in Side B is Chaithra J Achar) - she too did a commendable job in her role, adding freshness to the narrative.

Though the climax felt a bit like the usual cinematic ending, it still remains a wonderful movie to watch for its soulful music, strong performances, and honest depiction of love and loss.

I saw Side A, yesterday night and this today morning. Felt like, I watched Kireedam and Chenkol back to back and broke into pieces even though this ending in a way has got some silver linings to it. The music and such nuanced brilliant yet simple-sounding dialogues are what makes these movies truly great. Chaitra Achar who played the new character Surabhi, who kind of looked like Alia Bhatt to me, was also brilliant here, besides Rakshit and Rukmini. I feel like the two parts could have used more space between the releases so that the viewers could actually feel the time jump and see the second part with a bit of nostalgia. That way it would've been so much more impactful, or maybe I just feel like that because I basically watched it back to back.
