The film starts off on a promising note, with well-established characters and an engaging narrative that holds the audience's attention until the interval. The first half sets up the story beautifully, balancing emotions and intrigue effectively. However, post-interval, the film takes a drastic downturn. The pacing slows, and the screenplay becomes lackluster, making it difficult to stay invested.

It's disappointing to see the makers overlook crucial aspects that could have elevated the storytelling. The emotional depth present in the first half vanishes in the second, leading to an underwhelming climax that feels rushed and poorly conceived. Technically, the film also falls short-color grading, editing, and cinematography lack the finesse expected from a theatrical release, giving it the feel of a short film rather than a full-fledged feature.

Kannada filmmakers need to understand that storytelling is not just about good performances but also about strong execution in every aspect of filmmaking. This movie had the potential to captivate audiences, but somewhere along the way, it lost its grip.

A solid 5 stars for the impressive first half, but unfortunately, the second half doesn't deserve any.

An exceptionally well-crafted film that authentically portrays the realities of middle-class life in today's world, free from exaggeration. The storyline is engaging and relatable, weaving together moments of joy, struggle, and perseverance that resonate deeply with viewers. Rakesh delivers a stellar performance, seamlessly capturing the character's innocence, vulnerability, and underlying aggression, making his portrayal both compelling and memorable. The direction and cinematography are top-notch, bringing to life the nuances of everyday challenges faced by the middle class. The screenplay is crisp, with dialogues that strike a chord and stay with you long after the credits roll. The supporting cast also shines, adding depth and authenticity to the narrative. This film is not just a story but a mirror to society, making it a must-watch for anyone seeking a realistic and heartfelt cinematic experience.

The way movie started by narrating middle class friendship and family was very good. But it all started falling apart during the key scenes, direction seams to be lost his direction skill and flattened these scenes, for example accident scenes and during collections of compensation..all these key scenes could have been directes well. Why i am saying is, all actors here were too good and they were not directed well to get a brilliant scenes. 7 rating is for script and minus 3 for bad Direction.

Even the climax could have been much better. One of the character was remembering his fathers death was not projected impactfully.

The film begins depicting a guy from a middle-class family and his 2 friends. Their day-to-day life is shot well. However, once we go through the conflict scene, everything is poorly written and edited as some scenes feel they have been edited, and a bit of flow is missing. Certain scenes weren't needed in the script, be it Rocky's GF scene, Shetty with his girl, etc. They had no conclusion.

The acting by everyone was great, especially Rakesh taking the lead. Sathisha's mother and father were wonderful.

The music was average.

The beginning of the first half was slow but well-written. Everything later was downhill.

Watched it on Prime.

Straight with no nonsense,Decent concept with a well written script and worth the entertainment. Theme of the movie is much different, From my opinion compared to other dumb mass movies released in 2024 this movie needs to get applause,Each character has given their best performance. Rakesh is brilliant in his acting so as the other co stars too. Wish the ending climax should have dragged with more brutal scenes,Songs were quite good and BGM was super add on but we got a good paisa vasool entertainment So far best movie in 2024...Need more kind of this GENRE in kannada movie industry.

Kudos to the team.
