    A Twisted Mix of Toxic Masculinity and Diluted Feminism

    Kerebete (2024) : Movie Review -

    Kerebete is making quite a buzz after its OTT release, with many praising its emotional finale. But more than just emotions, it's the twist that grabs attention-one that feels like it was lifted from a CID or typical crime drama episode. The entire narrative is soaked in deception, a tone we've seen far too often. Yet, Kerebete manages to pull off a surprising climax by subverting your perception of its characters.

    Naga (Gowrishankar SRG) is a hot-headed, aggressive man who doesn't hesitate to pick fights. He falls for Meena (Bindu Shivaram), a college girl from an upper-caste family. But Naga's unruly behavior earns him a bad name in the village, prompting Meena's father to confront and humiliate him publicly. Enraged, Naga strikes Meena's father and insults him in front of the entire village. This drives a wedge between him and Meena. After a tense pause in the story, Naga kidnaps Meena, prompting a police hunt. But will they find him before it's too late?

    The film borrows its title from a native fishing game, but unlike Kantara, which deeply embraced local culture and ritual, Kerebete only brushes against its namesake. The connection appears only in the climax-and not in the way you'd expect. Packed with aggression and hyper-masculinity, the film thrives on "alpha male" theatrics and exaggerated machismo. The structure eventually collapses under a helpless attempt at feminism, which feels too forced to make an impact. Still, its emotional pull makes it somewhat engaging.

    Gowrishankar SRG is wild and relentless, making you both admire and despise his character's intense persona. However, the sympathy given to him in the climax contradicts the film's own core and should've been avoided. Bindu Shivaram is impressive, and Harini Shreekanth stands out in the mother's role. GopalKrishna Deshpande, Sampath Maitreya, and others deliver average support.

    Technically, the film holds up. Cinematography and action sequences are effective, and the background score adds to the mood. Editing could have been tighter, though the production design fits the setting. Director Rajguru B plays with human emotion and the element of surprise quite well, though he stumbles on the social front with repeated, shallow portrayals of feminism. Why must female characters continue to be written as weak and stupid? Despite that, Kerebete offers a solid action thriller that may be overhyped, but is certainly not bad or forgettable.

    RATING - 6/10*

    GOAT of all the suspense movie

    Must watch movie

    This movie is very good, the story line, acting, twist and turns in the movie are really great. Must watch movie. We should support such new brilliant actors and directors in kannada industry. The acting of gowrishankar is really good. The music, cinematography, casting of movie everything is good. The movie plot is just awesome. I can say one of the best movie from a new talent. He needs more exposure, he will be a great asset for kannada industry. There will be always few points of improvement. In that sense we can say, in very few area the scenes were dragged for more than what it requires. But its just a nit picking, overall the movie is great experience and must watch movie.
