Frankly some 2-3 years back, I should say I'm not a big fan of Kannada movies. Because I was bored with similar type of Love/Mass scripts with nothing good about direction, Screen- Play, VFX, editing nor dialogues (Ya.. Except Mangaru Male for dialogues).
But films like Ugram, UK, Luciya and Ranitaranga proved the Standard of Kannada films to the world which even surpassed the Bollywood film industry.
Ricky... is another film which i can say a Grand welcome to Direction/script oriented visual medium. Though film has got more than 60% of Naxalism backend, Rishabh is successful in portraying pure Love shaded plot throughout the film. You feel like it's a complete love script.
Why I will give positive rating for Ricky:
1). Strong Love/Naxalism shaded Dialogues; You will be happy to listen The very fresh, dignified, structured, pure, unique Kannada dialogues. (I bet, everyone will give Full rating for the best structured Kannada dialogues.)
2). Naxalism backend: The storyline is unique and fresh; Also Director is successful in portraying the ground realities of Naxalism/Society/Systems.
3). Direction-Storyline; As said Director done a very good job While Presenting pure Love topic with Strong Naxalism Back plot.
4). VFX-Screenplay-Editing: The VFX and Color Correction Techniques are amazingly done for Naxalism Shaded part. You will get into the the Forest black shaded environment within a nano-second.
5). Acting: Haripriya done a commendable job for both the Role. You feel like she is All-into the Character. Other actors also like Rakshith, Pramod also gave their best.
Why I will say, I can give bad rating for Ricky(though i didn't gave):
1). Songs/Music: Arjun Janya's music-tunes for love songs didn't synced at all; or they could have been dropped all love songs;
2). Background score: The Background score could have been better for love shaded drama; even though Background score for Naxalism drama is quite convincing.
3). Sadhu's comedy track: I strongly feel Comedy could have been better and short or could have been dropped.
