    GOOD MOVIE.

    The movie doesn't rely on unnecessary buildups, but it builds strong emotions. The director is not just a filmmaker-he is a true film enthusiast, and his storytelling is simply outstanding.

    Naveen Shankar delivers a next-level performance. He is not just an actor; he is a powerhouse of talent. The future of Kannada cinema will be shaped by actors like him, not by superficial buildup-driven stars.

    Only a few actors truly bring life to the Indian film industry, and among them are Naveen Shankar, Pramod Pajju, Rakshit Shetty, Daali Dhananjaya, Rangayana Raghu, and Vicky Kaushal. These are the real artists who make cinema meaningful.

    amazing movie

    What a fabulous movie really, i need these kind of movies, like a English novel, a poem and great silence wow can't explain just we have to feel it. Every character is living in their role,background score is great, locations are awesome badami, yaana, goa, even Bombay also. Dialogues superb, scenes with Mallanna are too lively and there frames are wow.... lot of best frames are there and especially in goa scenes are mesmerizing with her (Nadiya) smile. The last part his Mother's was great and their conversation is good and mainly there using kannada is good and her voice is awesome. Watch in theater.

    It had potential, maybe with more rewrites, would've been better

    "Nodidavru Enanthare" (which translates to "What will people think?", just so you know), is your typical self-discovery story. You've seen this kind of movie before, right? Our main guy, played by Naveen Shankar, is stuck in the usual IT grind, feeling like "Ugh, is this all there is?". Then, bam! Breakup happens, relationships go south, and the classic "gotta ditch the desk and connect with mother earth" phase kicks in. He's your average overthinker who wants to break free, runs into a free spirit, hoping to find some answers, unleash his creativity, and maybe even rock a new beard by the end.

    On top of that, our hero's got some serious baggage. His mom left when he was just a wee little two-year-old. Then, his dad passes away. Job gone, life falls apart - total rock bottom dramatic domino effect. So, he sets off on this "journey," hoping the universe will just whisper the answers. Turns out, he's a writer at heart, but guess who he blames for everything? Yep, Mom! So, the big plan is to find her and give her a piece of his mind, but whoops! He stumbles into some hippie love along the way. Will our confused protagonist, Siddharth, finally have his "aha!" moment and figure things out? "Nodidavru Enanthare" dives right into that whole "what's the meaning of life?" kind of thing.

    One of the weakest parts? Definitely the romance. It just wasn't that well-written, could've been much better. And the mom character, played by the awesome Padmavati Rao? Supposedly this super famous author, but in the movie, her story feels rushed and kind of flat. And the big mother-son reunion at the end? Not a great payoff, to be honest.

    But hey, the bromance with the shepherd boy was pretty sweet. Set against some nice scenery, it had some genuinely heart-warming and funny moments.

    And let's be real, the main reason to keep watching was actor Naveen Shankar. That guy carried the whole movie. The rest of the cast? Not so great. The leading lady was just alright, the escapism part for her wasn't structed well and could've been much better, it was too "seen it all" for the romance part, and her lines felt a bit stale.

    So, the bottom line? This movie isn't going to blow your mind with deep poignant thoughts or make you laugh or gives it back with facepalm moments. It kind of misses the mark in a lot of ways. BUT! Those shepherd scenes were nice. And maybe, just maybe, you can skip to the end for Naveen Shankar's incredible acting chops because he pretty much saved this film from being a total disaster to just average.

    Absolutely Incredible movie

    This is absolutely incredible movie creation. The acting capacity of the main actor is amazing. The depth and the plot which is talked in here is really close to real life of people. This depicts a real world story. The appearance and the act of main actor make so much power for this movie and it makes the audience stick to the movie till the end. Really made me tears in some scenes. That much of power in is act. Really really award winning level movie. And the other main thing is the nature sceneries of the movie. They are wow. The acting of handless kid is also great. Its just wow. Wishing you good luck for the whole crew from Sri Lanka. Hats off.
