    Such a beautiful film.

    Nice attempt by the Sreemukha & team. Story line was simple. Overall it was a nice experience. A beautiful movie after a long time. Enjoyed each and every scene and dialogues. All the actors have done justice to their characters. Must watch movie. Exceptional movie! Very well made. Amazing performances.

    An absolute dose of freshness. Such a beautiful film. A must watch especially with family. Loved every bit of the film. Overall it was a nice experience. A beautiful movie after a long time. There are so many layers to this film. One could almost see it 4 times and get something new out of it every time....

    Good Direction

    Multiple incidents in the movie got me connected to it personally... I felt like it was my reflection. Im still not able to come out of its hangover. What a movie! Its truly a career best of Director and Hero. I haven't seen such a story in recently in cinema before. It's such a unique and entertaining movie. The concept is untouched till now on silver screen.its one of the different kind off - keep entertaining us like this.

    The director has very smartly hidden the things in the trailer. We just have to dig out and derive the story in the trailer which is hard and cannot be guessed also. Awesome movie in recent times This movie should be pan India to show what can a movie can make you experience. Such a gem.

    Wonderfull

    Damayana is An interesting film with strong performances and a flawed screenplay. Direction is slightly better than writing, but you can't make a great film without great writing and a great screenplay in such cases. Every character is well defined. The story is written brilliantly written but somewhere the direction of the movie is so fast paced that you cant get a grip of things.

    It is a more than a one time watchable entertainer. Director has given the audiences an amazing entertainer with a strong social message inside.

    The movie has many turns and twists. The movie was not at all boring. Everybody acted very well in the movie.

    Screenplay is Good.

    Brilliant direction with organically written dialogues and an excellent cast. True love is timeless and tireless. No reason is strong enough for it to break, and this film showed us just that.

    The characterization is at its raw best. I am glad that the director and his team did not do anything to dial it down. The performances have been great. We all know the story, but it has not been done before in Kannada cinema. In some ways, this can be called modern Era with realistic dialogues. BGM by the music director is amazing. It goes slowly and smoothly with the mood of the movie. Screenplay is Good.

    Nice Movie

    Sreemukha, anagha prortrayed good roles. The good thing is it don't get preachy and just shows characters as characters. Cinematography of this movie is exceptional especially the intro Clymax scene which is a single shot scene and it was flawless and really makes u believe that you've came to the right movie for the price.

    Bgm and soundtrack was also great as we know the composer is a musical maestro so no need to explain about it.every songs and bgm especially inthe climax were perfect.the stunt choreography in the climax also deserves an appreciation. Grab some popcorn, get comfy, and be prepared to be moved by this powerful cinematic gem.
