ಉಪೇಂದ್ರ... directing a movie after a span of 10 yrs, had itself created waves in sandalwood! As always, there is always something new and different tag attached to his movies. With the very same expectation me too had been to watch the movie.
The film starts like a documentary (narrated by Yograj Bhat) which is quite astonishing! Followed by the title which highly demonstrates ಉಪ್ಪಿ's creativity... As you are realizing the wit in the title, impulsively you see a message on the screen "After 20 years"!! So, the picture starts with flash-forward! :D Karnataka, in 2030...Only ಉಪೇಂದ್ರ can think this uniquely...The visualization is simply superb. Nice to see ಸ್ವಚ್ಛ ನಮ್ಮ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು and vidhana souda being surrounded by multi-storey buildings!
The highlight of the movie is ಉಪ್ಪಿ's screen-play and dialogue. The movie limns the current corrupt political system. There is a flash-back within a flash-back! Juz like a complicated if-else loop in C programming! ;) The concept of two stories which goes hand-in-hand is something different and you should be quick enough to grasp the switch-over! The dialogues are thought provoking!
The music may not be melodious but still foot-tapping. The first time I heard the song ಸಿಕ್ಕಾಪಟ್ಟೆ, I burst to laugh!! :D
Looks like entire ಉಪೇಂದ್ರ's family has contributed to the film. Not many know that his parents are one among the key characters... and I really appreciate ಪ್ರಿಯಾಂಕ ಉಪೇಂದ್ರ for lending her voice to one of the character in the movie.
The bottom line is that "Only ಉಪ್ಪಿ can make the viewers to put on their thinking cap even after stepping out of the theater"!!
