    Treat to Watch Kavaludari

    Kavaludari - Hemanth from "Godibanna Sadharna Mykattu" fame has come with his new movie. Incidentally it is a PRK productions debut movie. Trailor was promising. So expectations were high. A traffic inspector (Rishi) trying to get into crime branch. But not getting the right opportunity. While digging for metro work three skeletons were found. This was under Rishi traffic controlling area and decides to trace the criminal out of self interest. He meets a small newspaper owner Achyuth, who is also in search of story. This leads Rishi to 1977 emergency era case file. He wants to meet investigation officer of the case (Ananthanag) who has few clues but case closed unresolved. How did Rishi found Anananthnag, did he help him on case? What was Achyuth intreset in this case? If you need answer for all these question visit your nearest cinema's.

    Hemanth has narrated tale in interesting and unique way. Each frame appears as if its happening in front of you. Ofcourse its bit slow in second half but keeps you engaged with twists. The case file reading episode is Awesome. This has been ably supported by cinematographer AdvaithGurumurthy. He has played with light and dark beautifully. It will be a benchmark on cinematography. Charan Raj background score keeps the mood of the movie. Ashwini-Puneeth Rajkumar should be appreciated for producing this project. Good beginning for PRK production. Achyuth has done fabulous job. Ananthanag is brilliant and superb. But Man of the Movie goes to Rishi. He has taken big stride from "Operation Alumelamma" and done fantabulous job. Siddharth Madhyamik in retro look done good job. Sampath as mylore Srinivas done well. Roshani has less job to do. Sumana Ranganath fires up screen with short span of presence.

    Its not a commercial entertainer. Artistic crime, suspense and thriller movie. Definitely a new age movie. There is a subtle messages. Watchout for Fly in 2 scenes. Hemanth story telling is enough to watch this movie. But icing on cake is brilliant and apt acting by all actors. For Ananthanag and Achyuth fans treat to watch. Must watch in theatre. 4/5 #kavaludari

    Good Movie. Everybody acted very well in the movie. BGM could have been more better. The movie was so interesting and thrilling at 1st half. The movie was slow and somewhat lagged at 2nd half. Good Movie.

    Thrilling, but slow paced...

    The performances of all the actors were mind boggling. The story, at the beginning puts you at the edge of your seat and as time goes on, it becomes boring. They definitely could have reduced the lag, which was sort of unwanted. The climax was brilliant, but at by that time, people would lose their patience and not follow it properly. Therefore, I'm going to give a 7 star.
