Seetharaam Benoy Case Number Eighteen

Story was good.

Cinematography is poor. Camera is never held steady. Found it a little irritating to the eye. I watched in my home theater. Maybe it doesn't bother much on a smaller screen.

Could have reduced at least 30 minutes off the movie.

Surprised by some rating 10 of 10. Maybe to encourage a low budget regional Kannada movie.

Feels like this is the first movie for actors and the technical team. They have the potential for better movies in future.

I generally watch suspense thrillers n when I started watching this movie ,I was not expecting anything at all .I find the movie was quite engaging with tight screenplay. Performance by cast is upto the mark . The climax could have been bit more different .

How does this have a 7+ rating ? This is not even close to any good thrillers in Kannada or other south languages.

An investigation with No energy,No brilliance , not even common sense. In first half the SI wander around like a stupid after 3 amateur thieves , missing so many clues out there.

Most actors appear to be amateurs.

People who liked this should watch movies like rakshasan Tamil and Kavaludhari to see what is a good thriller.

Masterpiece,superb, extraordinary, wow 😳😲 engaging thriller.

The film is about a police Inspector who is assigned a new posting and as soon as he reaches there, there is a robbery. He comes to know of many robberies that has happened in that area and tries to find out who is behind them while slowly the story takes another turn beyond robberies.

The first half is not pacy but I might just forgive it for it's a suspense drama and not a thriller. The film has some good acting but more importantly, the supporting cast look really apt for the part. For eg, the constables. Good casting. I am not happy with an over weight Vijay been cast as a police inspector. He is a good actor but to make an inspector look authentic, the casting had to be someone leaner. The wife role, though small, was a bad casting. Her dialogue delivery was unbearable. The dialogues in general weren't that great as it felt Shetty himself wrote some of it as the Tulu sense hits me sometimes. It is surprising that no policeman carries any weapons throughout the film.

Generally some directors would have included husband-wife's romantic moments song(s). But thank god there aren't any songs to spoil the film's pace or the grip.

The film's climax is badly written but ends well though and because it's only 2 hours, one can indulge themselves in it.

Available on Prime.

Can watch with family.
