ReviewWhile fans don't watch an entertainer like Kranti expecting a solid character arc, it isn't to say that a mass film must be completely devoid of logic.ShuklajiScreengrabIn all fairness, nothing that you encounter in Kranti should come as a surprise. The film was meant to be a bona fide Darshan Thoogudeepa vehicle that his fans, or 'celebrities' as he refers to them, have been waiting for quite some time. And Kranti offers just that and not a shred more.

Nikhita Venugopaliffr.comIt’s been several months since theatres closed their doors in light of Covid-19, and it seems an understatement to say I miss the movies. Movies allow you to step away from reality, leave behind commitments, work and family, and mercifully put your phone away for a few hours. Admittedly, even if theatres were to open tomorrow, I would personally stay away until they were deemed safe again. But Girish Kasaravalli’s Gulabi Talkies quickly reminds you, in more ways than one, of the magic of movies. Released in 2008, Gulabi Talkies received widespread acclaim for its writer-director as well as its lead actor Umashree, who plays the titular role of the film.
