Katheyondu Shuruvagide

This is a well made refreshingly good Kannada movie that has been released recently among some mediocre 'masala blockbusters'. It is a meticulously well woven story telling of 3 love stories from different age groups. It is sprinkled with the right dose of comedy that keeps the movie entertaining in an otherwise slow-paced narrative. The stories are realistic and relatable to an urban audience.

Diganth's acting as a troubled young man is admirable. Hiranniah & Aruna as the elderly couple have put in a good performance and their acting clearly shows their poise and experience. The others have done their bit quite well.

Cinematography is generally well done, the young Director seems to have had a good debut. The songs are excellent and they fit the scenes and play in the background in bits - thankfully sparing us the entire songs to the jukebox.

Overall I give it a 10 - a low budget movie with none of the usual 'masala' ingredients, that easily comes out better than the recent over the top mega budget mediocre Kannada movies.
