Ulidavaru Kandante ( 2014 ) Kannada
Tagline : " As seen by the Rest , a story from different perspective "
Well there was so much talks about this movie that it was a all new attempt in our Indian cinema and this tempted me to watch this movie. Well i should say it was indeed different and was really presented in a unique way. I would say its rather a musical fleet. Story is very simple involving only few characters consisting of Raghu , Richi and munna. Its about how their life crossover each other and end up in a mash-up costing their life in the end and how a news reporter tries to track the story behind it for her latest article inquiring local people in the town about this incident and capturing their varied point of view in an attempt to find the conclusion of this story. But did she able to conclude it with the facts or she has to complete the story which is more fictitious forms rest of the story.

The way these characters are introduced like a chapter was cool and the making of the movie easily remind me of great film makers like QT and Guy ritche. Looks like the director was heavily inspired from these legends though it dont see any credits given in the movie . That said it was cool and i loved this musical script with very less dialogues spoken throughout the movie. BGM was very nice at times and picturization was damn cool. I saw ugramm recently and from then on i notice the cinematography of Kannada films have improved a lot in recent days. I more of loved the way the visuals were supported by the music in this movie added to that the traditional Tiger dance and costumes were so lovely to watch.
Polladavan Kishore was cool in this movie too and i liked his role. Richi character was fine too but his over performance at times and his unsync unmatched high level English at times didn't match his character much especially with a gun in his hip belt always was kind of unrealistic because he never looked like a scary gangster. There are some scenes which had no logic to it and second half mother sentiments and some songs like kids in beach were unnecessary or lets say slowed down the script making a sluggish feel which could have been avoided. But that said , still this movie was so lovely and other songs were so cool especially " Gatiya Ilidu " was so lovely and breezy. This is not a movie for everyone and if you like musical dramas sure you would love this movie irrespective of all other negative aspects i said above. Enjoy watching.
