We had a great Sunday evening at Pollack theatres in Arizona. We not only watched the film, but also interacted with the movie artists.

This film must not be missed as it brings to limelight perineal problems of the society pertaining to younger generation, the caste system and the disparity of opinion between authorities that impact decision making. The credible and compelling theme; the genuine setting and characterisation; and the well sequenced events engrosses the audience to an extent that they forget about the intermission and music.

The characterisation is genuine. Whether it is a college principal, a staff, a student, a parent, a stakeholder, or police constable, each one's concern, their stress and their struggle to find a solution feels genuine and believable.

The only refinement may be needed in the audio in a few scenes and a few shaky slides.

The movie leaves the audience debating over a thought provoking and a strong message. The audience is also seen anxious to see the next twist and imagine a solution.

Very well crafted movie with so many good elements. Story telling is brilliant. It's so natural that we never feel people are acting. It's one exceptionally very well casted movie. Generally when there is north Karnataka dialect the slang and tone are not appropriate. In this case as the casting is all from north Karnataka itself, nativity is very well handled.

Movie has so many twists and we never feel it exaggerated and unnatural. It's all day to day mistakes which look so big with time.

I would recommend everyone to watch and even support monetarily so that they continue to make such masterpiece.

Beautiful movie handled very sensitively, no long boring scenes, to the point , 100% in touch with reality. New actors have done a great job and the direction and story is so good that you don't need any fancy stars or songs to carry the movie.

The college authorities are genuine and reminds one of our college days and dealing with professors and such. The teenagers have essayed their roles with great maturity and keeping it to the point

All roles large or small make an impact including the court announcer with the funny case calling which I think is again very real to life

Kudos to entire team for taking up a difficult subject and presenting it with such care that makes you want a sequel.

Wonderful subject carried very nicely. Not once felt something was irrelevant. A must watch for teenagers , youths to be careful from being trapped by someone's action........

Actors did justice to their roles. Camera work is decent. Purely original No artificial flavors..

Story revolves around many of the circumstances that we see around us like gender discrimination, upper/lower caste, management orders , easy to share but hard to digest social media influences and many more........

Overall good movie with natural acting, light music, intelligent editing, awesome grip in screenplay and direction.

Kudos to Seventeeners team.

This movie needs to be among one of the best movies made out of kannada industry. The writing, the direction and the performances are top notch. The treatment of the movie is so realistic that you feel as it's happening in and around you. The writing is so strong, there is commentary on class and caste but nowhere the film takes sides or gets preachy that's what makes this film so good. The treatment of the issue at hand the subtle commentary on economic backgrounds are really praise worthy. It explores human nature how we tend to take sides depending on our judgement. The characters here are so well written.

I definitely want to watch other movies from this director.
