The movie felt like a mishmash of too many elements, resulting in a messy and lackluster screenplay. While Yuva Rajkumar showed promise in fight sequences and dance numbers, it wasn't enough to salvage the film.
The love story followed predictable patterns, typical of Ananddram's work, and Saptami Gowda's character lacked depth, with her performance falling short of expectations. The dialogue felt contrived with an abundance of cheesy one-liners - of course meant for the Rajvamsha fans. While the protagonist's hot-headed nature is understandable, it shouldn't result in a "Single expression" throughout the film. The movie failed to capture the authenticity of middle-class life, Unnecessary fight scenes and forced Mangalorean slang further detracted from the overall experience. It's disappointing to see such potential go untapped in Yuva Rajkumar's debut.
Despite its flaws, Yuva Rajkumar shows potential and could shine with improvements in expressions and natural acting. Ultimately, "Yuva" is a mediocre commercial film, only worth watching for its dance sequences and action scenes.

For too long, Kannada movie buffs have yearned for a genuine sci-fi adventure on the big screen. Despite a few films having sci-fi elements here and there, the genre remained largely unexplored. But now, a glimmer of hope emerges with 'Blink' - a film that not only delves into the world of science fiction but also adds a touch of raw emotion and drama.
Directed by a dubantante Srinidhi Bengaluru and backed by producer Ravichandra AJ, 'Blink' defies expectations by taking a bold leap into the world of sci-fi thrillers. It's a testament to their courage to tackle such uncharted territory, especially for debutants in the industry.
One might think Blink's storyline shares similarities with Ethan Hawke's 'Predestination,' however, it can be regarded as the director's personal interpretation of the Greek hero Oedipus, a theme subtly echoed within the film.
Apoorva, our protagonist, struggles to secure a steady job due to not clearing his exams. Desperate for employment and determined to pass his exams, he embarks on a search for part-time work. Throughout his trials, he finds comfort and encouragement as he leans on the support of his love interest, Swapna. However, Apoorva's world is shaken when a mysterious revelation from an old man unveils that his father is not dead, and also reveals Apoorva's unique ability to control blinking, turning it into a heavy burden to bear.
What truly sets 'Blink' apart is its masterful handling of parallel timelines. While many films stumble over such complexities, Srinidhi effortlessly intertwines past and present, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats as they journey alongside Apoorva through twists and turns, revelations, and mysteries.
The film also shines in its technical execution. Sanjeev Jagirdar's editing flows seamlessly; in other words, the editing is in perfect apple pie order. Prasanna Kumar's live music recording significantly enhances the movie, with brilliant use of sounds and folklore songs, while the overall music composition is impressive, complemented by impactful re-recording. Avinaasha Shastry's cinematography adds depth to the narrative, particularly in scenes depicting past events, distinguished by a distinct color grading to delineate between the two timelines.
The film's ensemble cast delivers commendable performances, with Dheekshith Shetty standing out for particular praise. His effortless portrayal is sure to captivate audiences and his ability to fully embody his character is commendable. I hope to see more Kannada filmmakers recognize Dheekshith's talent and provide him with opportunities to further develop his skills. While the other characters have less screen time compared to Dheekshith, each actor, including Suresh Anagalli, Vajradheer Jain, Gopal Krishna Deshpande, Chaithra Achar, and Mandara Battalahalli, brings their characters to life with utmost dedication, contributing significantly to the story.
Overall, 'Blink' is a film worth your time and attention. Show your support to this talented team by catching the film in theaters and spreading the word about its excellence. Kannada cinema deserves more gems like 'Blink.'

Saramsha isn't your average film; it's a captivating dive into the world of experimental cinema, crafted with care by Surya Vasishta. From the opening scenes, it draws you in with its raw, unfiltered storytelling. But what truly makes Saramsha stand out is the dedication and authenticity of its cast and crew.
The performances in Saramsha are truly remarkable. Each actor brings their character to life with such depth and sincerity that you can't help but become invested in their journey. It's not just the main cast that shines; the supporting actors also deliver performances that leave a lasting impact. Rramprasadd Banavara and Sathish, in particular, deserve recognition for their portrayal of characters that feel like old friends, adding a nostalgic charm to the story.
But it's not just the acting that impresses. The technical aspects of film are equally impressive. The cinematography captures the essence of each moment with stunning clarity, while the editing ensures a seamless flow to the narrative. The DI work adds a touch of polish that enhances the overall visual experience.
And then there's the music - haunting and evocative, it sets the mood for each scene with precision. The one-take song sequence featuring Shruthi Hariharan and the ensemble is a testament to the talent and dedication of everyone involved, leaving a lasting impression with its beauty and grace. 'Aparichitha' song struck a chord with me, adding to the film's allure.
But perhaps what resonates most about the film is its willingness to explore new ground. It doesn't shy away from tackling tough themes or asking difficult questions, challenging viewers to think and feel in new ways.
In the end, Saramsha is more than just a film - it's an experience. It's a reminder of the power of cinema to move, to inspire, and to provoke thought. So if you're looking for a movie that will touch your heart and leave you pondering long after the credits roll, this film is definitely worth a watch.
