Director uses "show dont tell" approach which works brilliantly as he just paints the scenes for you to enjoy without forcing any preachings or heavy handed symbolisms. Ratna in his journey to seek his mother learns about himself as well as others around him & decides to embrace the different world views & derives strength to form his own opinions instead of just bowing into herd mentality. Umashree, the veteran, as usual knocks it out of the park, with her minimal screen time she brings her character into life as a stubborn mother who refuses to stop mollycoddling her kids & she gets stuck with you as a mother figure, its hard not to see one's own mother in her while watching her on screen.
KANNADA OLD FILM MOVIE
He really portrays the everyday common man, a role which is tailor made for him & is reminiscent of his role in short movie "jayanagar 4th block" *(watch it if you haven't its on YouTube).
Dhananjay's portrayal of Rathna is endearing & hopefully he can shake of his "Dolly" stereotypical roles with characters like these. Movie carries you through different places, culture alongside a disgruntled Rathna as his search for his Mom, keeps throwing him new surprises at every turn as the diversity that is hidden behind ignorance is shown to him & to us viewers. Movie starts with Rathna realizing he is adopted & then goes in search of his biological mother with help of Reba, who plays journalist Mayuri, who is documenting his search. Movie stars Dhananjay as titular Ratna, Umashree as his mom, along with Shruti, Achyuth kumar & Anu prabhakar. Editing, cinematography all are on point & makes for a tireless & rejuvenating viewing experience. I haven't seen any of Rohit's other movies but the direction here is sleek. Ratnan prapancha is directed by Rohit padaki & it is one of those rare gems of black comedy genres that we rarely see in Kannada film industry. Rathnan prapancha - 2021 - Drama - 4/5 - Available on Prime Bandaya movement's intention was to give voice to the voiceless, & this movie still echoes in my head. Watch this to build a perspective & understand the place from which the minorities are coming from. Definitely not an easy watch & seeing the current situation (hijab controversy) movie like this will never hit the screen again. A complete tour de force that is the need of this time. Movie screams at you with raw intensity for attention & provokes you to take a stand & bring about a change. If you have seen "Jai bhim" & believe its one of the best movie on social awareness, then this movie will hit you like a hammer. Movie offends these power hungry upper caste men, the corrupt maths as absolute scums of the earth. Just the idea that events shown here is norm in most of the rural areas is a scary knowledge to live with. Story told here is black as tar, as the second half will have you gasping for breath. He constantly ridicules maths for gong against the words of Basavanna, exposing them at two faced snakes at every oppurtunity.
B C Gowrishankar, doesnt shy away from anything & the atrocities this famly must endure in name of religion & culture can make your blood boil. This results in a retaliation from Lingaayat community, which is tough to watch as the entire family is uprooted & the catastrophe it brings about is hard to watch. Nagesh kashyap's mantra to enlighten the villagers against corrupt practices reaches its crescendo when he forces villagers to rebel against Devaraj during elections. Nagesh kashyap is Basha who is a head strong muslim, who is often seen rebelling against Sunder krishna Urs (the local zamindar) & Devaraj (his son) who belongs to upper caste, here Lingaayats. Kendadha male stars Nagesh kashyap, Devaraj, Sundar krishna urs & Sadashiva Brahmavar in lead roles. Kendadha male stays true to its movement & is unapologetic in its portrayal of oppression & inequality in a microcosm that is a small rural village in Karnataka. Kendadha male is an example of Bandaya movement in literature & media, the movement's goal was to bring socio-economical changes by holding a mirror to the oppression based on caste & creed without glossing over the details. Its an adaptation of kannada writer Kum Veerabhadrappa's novel of the same title & its a brave move to adapt this story into silver screen. Kendadha male is directorial debut of ace cinematographer B C Gowrishankar. Kendadha male - 1987 - Drama - 4.5/5 - Available on YouTube
