Dia: Kannada movie review

Image
Dia is a intense movie which revolves around the life of a girl called Dia ( Kushee Ravi ). She is an introvert, and is madly attracted to a guy from her college, Rohit ( Dheekshith  Shetty). The movie follows Dia's life from this point onward, and takes us through the ups and downs that she experiences. It is about love and heartache, about pinning your hopes on something to get shattered and bruised again and again. Letting yourself go is the right way to live.  Like life, this movie can be complicated. Life runs on hope, a wise man had told me once, and I remembered this during the movie. Image courtesy IMDB I loved the portrayal of the insecurities which play out in your head when you're madly in love. Each sentence is analysed a thousand times, and all the possibilities are studied to death. You live each moment in your head a thousand times before it happens or doesn't happen at all. The dream is your reality. It is natural, and our tendency to...

ಕೆಂಡಸಂಪಿಗೆ - Kendasampige (golden magnolia) : Kannada movie review

Image
Kendasampige is a movie about the devious circle of money, greed and corruption which threatens to engulf innocent lovers. The movie revolves around the lead pair(  Vikky Varun  as Ravi and  Manvita Kamath as Gowri) when they get framed in a crime involving drugs, the influential and the police.  Prakash Belavadi  acts as the menacing DCP Suryakanth and  Rajesh Nataranga as ACP Purandar. Throughout the movie, the lead pair is on the run, and the police are chasing them. Watch the trailer here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrIQUpTEUWA&t=7s Image courtesy imdb I think the movie reflects the depraved and money - minded society in an apt way. We live in a time where money is worshiped, and the influencers are treated like Gods. Think about it - each of us is ultimately hustling for money. Can you imagine a society without the concept of money? What would you do then, how would you spend your time? Back to reality, the difference between...

Love mocktail: Kannada movie review

Image
This is a heartwarming movie about love in different stages of a guy's life. The storyline follows the journey of the protagonist, Adi ( Krishna/ Sunil Kumar N ) to Udupi. On the way, he ends up rescuing Aditi (Rachana Inder) from a bad situation. The movie spans their conversation, with Adi narrating his stories from school, college and corporate life to her. Image courtesy imdb The portrayal of infatuation to love as Adi moves from being a young boy, to a teenager and onward as a young man has been shown in a funny, candid and realistic way. I'm sure the section of school days will bring a smile and nostalgic recollections of warm memories to a lot of people. WWE cards, the numerous crushes, fooling around with girls, tuition, silly fights and best friends! Then we move to college . Adi is in love with another girl, and he experiences the dizzy, euphoric highs, crushing voids and thousand cuts that it brings. Even though his friends advise him against it, Adi goes to ...
