Kaiva
(2023)

Kaiva is truly one of the most entertaining movies, blending the backdrop of Bangalore's underworld with a compelling love story.
I watched "Kaiva" movie today, and I was truly pretty impressed by how it blended a love story with real-life 90s Bangalore underworld happenings. It's not the first movie about Bangalore gangsters, but it's definitely up there in terms of authenticity.

The storytelling in "Kaiva" is top-notch, keeping the audience engaged from start to finish without a dull moment. Huge credit goes to the director and story writer, Jayatheertha, for pulling it off so well.

Dhanveer's performance as the hero is really commendable. Despite having acted in only a handful of movies in the past, he delivers a mature performance in "Kaiva". He definitely has the potential to become a beloved star in the Kannada industry, but it's crucial for him to continue choosing stories like "Kaiva" that allow him to showcase his talent effectively.

The music in "Kaiva" is amazing, thanks to Music Director Ajaneesh. It fits perfectly with the story, and the song "Nagu Hoove" is especially touching. Ajaneesh did a fantastic job!

The cinematography and editing in the movie is excellent. Great work from Shwetpriya Naik and K. M. Prakash.

Overall, "Kaiva" is truly one of the most entertaining movies, blending the backdrop of Bangalore's underworld with a compelling love story. A big shoutout to the entire team for their outstanding work, and best wishes to them for their future projects!

Swathi Mutthina Male Haniye
(2023)

Touching story, its all about care, and relationships between partners and their importance at every stage of life.
Raj Shetty once again proves that he is a versatile director and storyteller through this movie. In my opinion, it can be challenging for male directors to truly grasp the depth of women's sensibilities and convey the intricacies on screen. However, Raj Shetty dispels that myth, demonstrating that male directors are capable of understanding the inner feelings of women and reflecting that through a story. Kudos to Raj Shetty!

From the beginning of the movie until the middle, it took a slow pace to establish each character and their story. However, later on, it took a real emotional turn. The natural background music, cinematography and dialogues complement the entire story, helping the audience connect with real-life emotions. The movie feels more like poetry than a regular film.

The movie mostly emphasises the significance of love, care, and relationships between partners, underscoring their importance at every stage of life. It's well demonstrated with all ages level. Actors well delivered the message through their acting and expressions. Kudos to all actors.

Kudos to entire team and all the best for their next projects.

Migration
(2023)

"Migration" is a fantastic animated movie that brings lots of laughter, heart, and stunning visuals.
Migration defiantly I can say that yet another brilliant animated cartoon film. Director Benjamin Renner has done an excellent work. Personally, I am quite selective when it comes to watching animated movies. I have an old-school mindset that animated movies might not offer the same level of enjoyment in a theatre setting, but they are good enough for TV screens. However, there are only a few movies that can change this perspective, and Migration is one of them.

The movie all about the fun and dignity of migration. It is well explained through prospective of Ducks. The animation work is excellent and amazing character design, these together givea a beautiful visuals treat for viewers. Voice dumbing by actors amazing and well selected for character. It well suited for the character to highlight their personality.

I watched this movie with my daughter, and we thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end. The best part is the cute baby duck saying "pleeeeease" with a sweet face - it's just adorable!. The theater was filled with kids and families, and it was evident that everyone was having a great time. The laughter echoing in the theatre added to the overall enjoyment.

"Migration" is a fantastic animated movie that brings lots of laughter, heart, and stunning visuals. It's a must-watch for everyone who loves animated films.

The Trial
(2023)

A gripping suspense thriller film that guarantees entertainment throughout from start to finish.
A gripping suspense thriller film that guarantees entertainment throughout from start to finish. I can say that it is truly worth watching.

Upon closer look of its technical aspects, I got a bit of mixed opinions. Personally, I believe the storytelling could have been more compelling and comprehensive. Although the background music and camera work at good level, a stronger emphasis would have better complemented to the story narration. The actors showcase brilliance, but there is a slight shortfall in brining their full potential.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the film. Kudos to the director and the entire team for their commendable work. Wishing them all the best for their next project.

Kaatera
(2023)

"Kaatera" is undoubtedly one of those rare movies that one should never miss
"Kaatera" is undoubtedly one of those rare movies that one should never miss, especially for the immersive experience it offers in a theater setting. Director Tharun and his exceptional team have truly showcased their remarkable work in the movie. The Hero dialogues are mesmerising and give goosebumps when delivered by D BOSS, are elevated by his excellent acting performance in every frame of the scenes. D Boss's physique is a perfect fit for the story and his hero character, adding to the overall appeal of the film. HariKrishna's music score is excellent, particularly the hero's background music stands out and its awesome. Its lingering effect adds to the overall impact even after the movie is over. It's a must-watch movie in the theatre. Don't miss it!
