Shri Vijayadasaru was a great saint that India, esp our Kannada people, and madhwa community has seen two centuries ago. He was a realised soul. We are fortunate to be born so close to the time that He lived. His life was phenomenal, divine. When a film is made on His life and works, it should really focus on how pious He was, how realised He was and How God was seen to Him in His everyday sankeertane. One should feel divine and go into a different world while seeing the film.
But in the film, they didn't show properly the divine incident when He got Ankita . The person who portrayed Shri Vedavyasa devaru was not a good choice. He had Tambaku stains on his teeth. There was no divinity and wonder in that very important scene. Our Vijayadasaru saw Shri Vyasarajaru, Shri Vadirajaru, and other gurus along with Purandara dasaru. His devotion to Shri Purandara dasaru was unmatched. He would touch feet of Purandara dasaru saw God in Him. But that devotion towards His guru was not shown properly in the film. All Goddesses playing ladies not chosen properly. They seemed like some Indian television serial actresses.
The people who played well were only young Vijayadasaru, his mother, his young wife, and his wife when he got older. Otherwise only Vijayadasaru songs throughout the film instead of his life incidents that we can learn from.
They didn't finish the story in one part, not did they tell half the story properly in the first part.
All places chosen were good.
Please make films on Dasaru with deep research and devotion so that people get devotion towards Dasaru and learn more about them.
