Sapta Sagaradaache Ello: Side B

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!

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.

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.

Love is everything it's cracked up to be. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. " - Erica Jong.

"'For a while' is a phrase whose length can't be measured. At least by the person who's waiting." - Haruki Murakami.

"But it is easy to speak of the past, impossible to go there. I am powerful in ways you can only dream, yet I am still a prisoner of what I have done. I can never escape the cell I have made for myself. Things are what they are." - Joe Abercrombie.

The above quotes encapsulates the essence of "Sapta Sagaradaache Ello Side B" a film that has left me lingering in the ocean's hushed embrace, hours after dream-like conclusion. I am overwhelmed by the sheer depth and complexity of the feelings it has stirred within me, adrift in a sea of emotions, in the rhythmic cadence of the tides that defy articulation. In the heart of Bangalore, Manu's tale embark on a relentless quest for a closure, revenge and redemption. He still holds on to the echoes of past, the indelible regrets, unfulfilled wishes that have shackled his soul. Here in Part B Manu is a loafer, a tormented soul who still has nemesis from the past but only to find that his mind is his most formidable adversary. In this obsessive pursuit Manu transforms through voyeuristic lens, fixated on Priya, becomes consumed by her as his every thought and action revolves around her whereabouts and spending time with her child. This act can irk some people but it is shown as a momentary solace as the vibrant hues of memory dance within him, providing illusion of joy. Along the way, we as the audience begin to yearn to decipher the truth and hope the cracked mirrors mend. To uncover the enigma of Manu, one must bear witness to the film's captivating spectacle on the silver screen. Beguiled by SIDE A, i have been anticipating this day for a closure. I must say it a fitting finale, a hard hitting swansong and a sequel that is punctuated by unexpected musical interludes and subtle gags. Getting it right for a sequel has been a hit or a miss and not often does it satisfy viewer expectations. The blood-red climax is one of the standout sequence, i read some shallow cinephiles calling it as an unnecessary indulgence, overly gratuitous but ignore them. It will garner polar reactions, to each his or her own but i feel it is about time Rakshit Shetty takes up a mass hero role with good writing and the impact would been compelling.

Kudos to director Hemanth Rao and team for creating this technically sound of a film and a poetic gem that will stand as a towering testament for the Kannada film industry. Also, I suggest if anyone reading this to check out my review for SIDE A whenever you have a moment.
