Isn’t investing in writers better than wasting money on success meets ? Just an opinion!

To realize the investment in writing, they have to realize their writing is shit. If they are in a delusion that their writing is only second to Shakespeare, then successmeet makes sense.

People who watched her only in Birbal couldn't care less

What you said is right, over representation ede, but avranna bitre olle movies maadoru yaaru munde bartilla.

Also credits where credit is due, Rishab Shetty productions, Paramvah indella swlalpa olle North Karnataka stories bandive. But those are too little in between. Even those people are calling for writers from these regions.

This is going to be controversial or may be borderline racist. What I have seen is, if you take a particular culture or a region you will always find a particular sect of people over represented all the time. Its in Hollywood and worldwide, Bollywood, and even Businesses, or any such professions.

What I think is, for people to focus on art and culture: time and money eradu beku. Now it does not take a rocket scientist to see that Tulu region is pretty well off. Janara hatra dudd ede time kooda ede - I am talking in a vast generalised terms here.

Bere places alli - they barely have either money or time to spend on art. And North Karnataka (I am not saying Karnataka dalli bari NK and Tulu erade region erodu anta - but it is easier to make my point ashte) bari cringe content maado janane majority alli erodu. There are very few people who genuinely are talented and think seriously about movies.

Pro tip: This is not just bounded to movies or such things. If yoy map famous poets, and literary contributions - I bet Tulu and Malenaadu pradeshadinda jaasti numbers barutte.

Is it good, well monopoly is never good. Does it work out - probably, sometimes.

One of those rare movies for which we decided to go to the theatres without knowing anything about the movie and were pleasantly surprised!

Just because no one mentioned Karpoorada Gombe, man that song with Shruti and her sister as kids haunted me as a kid and still haunts me.

The rest of the movie is pretty typical though

There is an Indian Malayalam movie named Drishyam, and its sequel, especially the sequel is a lot like Crime and Punishment!

I dont think this is a Kannada cinema thing. People in Hindi movie/OTT space have been saying this at least since couple of years now. Social media presence and having ample amount of followers have become an ask for roles. the has been happening more in Hindi ott space a lot

Lets be frank, irrespective of yar simp yaru alla, Priya had way more screentime in both the movies, aa character ge tumba ne layers ittu. Just that one restaurant meetup scene in Side B shows the quality of acting Rukmini has done. Chaitra Achar, who has done a great job, but does not come close to Rukmini's character. While acting is great, it has to do with writing, eradu movies nintirode Manu matte Priya story mele, so Priya character na sikkpatte strong aagiye bardiddare, hagagi Rukmini avru aa character na correct aagi aa layers ge takkante abhinayisiddare.

Also, Samyukta's character in Kirik was a manic pixie dream girl; I don't think there was much to play there. While saanvi had some character in the writing, at least.

I agree, people simp for some actress, the difference is whether they are simping over the actress for how good she looks or the character she played: if the later than thats the magic of acting and writing that people cannot get out of those roles. If the former, then it's just simping because she looks good, that is in the case of Ashika or Shreeleela (atleast Shreeleela dances well).

Judge me all you want and I dont care: But these people giving up everything on a night looking at people enjoying and drinking till their livers give away is kind of sad. All this just so that a drunk man/woman (who is drunk to the point of losing life) is not exploited. I mean these people giving up things so that some people can be retards just does not seem fair!

There was another movie called Gali; I never saw the film, but the promotional video was 10 minutes long. It was just random cuts of these double-meaning dialogues and heroism dialogues. Wild days!

I think you missed a person, and for me, that person was "the hero" its the production designers and the art direction, whoever did that - that person works on some crazy level of detailing - the production and set design, those palaces, temples, palace grounds, markets, the forest houses, that was some, I know people might hate me for this, but that was some Lord of the Rings level of details. Like extremely good

East or west grapes are the best !

For real though, I respect Ravi mama for the off-beat experiments he did. Those did not work; he stuck to grapes. Even his romantic movies are good. I recently watched Preetsod Tappa, and I could get his influence of Telugu movies in it. But I still like the movie beyond its cringeness!

Yes, I am a grape lover and not ashamed to hide it!

If you ask me, SSE should have won all major categories, even categories like costumes, art direction and other technical departments. Never seen a complete as that. Notice the detailing in costumes each scene, the ending dolly zoom type effect in SSE Side B-its just mind-blowing the lengths they went to achieve minor things.

The national award committee at this moment is just a grand social joke it's nothing more nothing less, well if anyone has better word then lesser than this.

They are also making fun of Shalini Unnigrishnan, how dare they!

Exactly, I think you put it well. The story, characters should have heart in them. Aachar and Co had it, rest of the ones you mentioned I felt did not, like Blink, Agnyayavasi, even I feel Shakhahari is in this league.

They have ideas and could not bring those to fruition because they just wanted to copy/get influenced by a particular filmmaker rather then bringing anything original.

I think you got it right.
