    A peak into a sweet whodunit story in cultural lens.

    I just finished watching this after knowing this to be a part of a trilogy and I had liked the trailer of the second film. I had to check this one out and Abhilash Shetty impressed with the realistic approach towards the making as well as the narrative style. It's a simple story of an elderly couple wanting to cook chicken for their visiting Grandson but the rooster they had caught goes missing. The grandfather suspects theft of the rooster and is determined to find it back.

    In the process of narrating this simple story, Abhilash Shetty knows his strength and it is the cultural touch that gives it's identity. It is not restricted to the urban and rural culture alone but the beliefs of the villagers. The innocence of these characters is captured well. The short runtime ensures the screenplay doesn't feel dragged and the realistic performance gives an heartfelt connect towards them.

    For me, fish is special while chicken is the routine food. Seeing these characters feel the opposite was something fresh.

    Nostalgia

    It took me to my childhood. Festival hit . It made me to remember my grandpa.. Small concent but well narrated. Awesome experience watching it. Especially sound and screenplay worked out well.

    This movie will make audience to travel to their village again. We should support these type movies. Expecting this movie on OTT soon.

    I had taken my whole family members to watch during theatrical release.

    It would be great if this movie is released on television platform so tha whole family people sit and watch together.

    Prabhakar kundar who has played the role of grandpa is very impressive.

    Even grany has done best....

    Serving you with full meals of love,care, humor, regional culture,Kundapura dialect,beautiful scenery and realistic story

    This is one finest which will get back us into our childhood days and refresh our thoughts. In the midst of heroism and non veg joke movie this one is purely realistic and content based movie which recalls our memories back into times when we visited our grandparents. A simple tale turned out into beautiful family entertained movie in humorous way with regional dialect and view of nature(Sagara),regional culture and beliefs, love,care and bond between grandparents and grandson,chirping sound of birds, regional dance. In total will not only serve with chicken curry but as pure realistic film 'Koli Taal', indeed to be recalled and remembered.

    Congratulations to whole team for their commendable efforts and making tremendous job in debut filmmaking.

    Hopefully this movie can be seen massively. It's very good.

    Last night I saw the movie "Koli Taal", I really liked it. A universal story of a relationship between grandparents and grandson set in a part of the world full of very interesting regional customs, the film allows us to know beliefs, habits and landscapes that we do not know in our parts. But the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren has that load of unconditional love from older generations and is the same throughout the world, the happiness that a visit from a grandchild creates is highly demonstrated. The story that shows the ternuna and the happiness that this visit generates is sustained with suspense generated from the disappearance of the chicken and determining who was the culprit. The location is great and is excellently portrayed through a beautiful photograph. I highlight the performance of "grandfather", an endearing character.

    Great movie!

    I really enjoyed this movie, it's very exotic for me because I am European. It's a film that is easily viewed with a pleasant touch of humor. I had a great time watching this movie and I highly recommend it!
