Laughing Buddha

This film is a refreshing addition to Kannada cinema, proving that even low-budget movies can have a strong impact-something often seen in Malayalam films. The narration is well-executed, keeping the audience engaged for the most part. While a few scenes might feel slightly distracting, the story quickly regains its grip, pulling the viewer back into its world.

The performances are commendable, and the technical aspects, including cinematography and background score, are well-crafted. However, the film stumbles in its climax. While some might find it convincing, I personally felt it was a letdown. I expected a more fitting resolution, but the final moments felt both illogical and impractical.

With a tighter screenplay and a more satisfying conclusion, this film could have garnered even greater appreciation and reach. Despite its flaws, it's still a decent watch and a commendable effort in Kannada cinema.
