This is a film which has 7 different stories within itself and each of them having some distinctive characteristics rooted in them. The brief review of each of these is below in the order of their occurrence:
"Rainbow Land" being the first film, is rightly placed and gives a good start. It shows the close relationship between a father and his little daughter. The love, innocence and the joy that one finds in small things is nicely shown.
"Sathya Katha Prasanga" is a mind boggling piece of work! It tells the story of a man who is caught in a time warp. The frustration, sadness, confusion and joyfulness unfolds in an unusual and magical way. Prakash Belawadi gives a brilliant performance here and Vasu Dixit's music will bedazzle you!
"Girgitle" is the heart & soul of this movie. It unveils the story of a guy living his simple lifestyle and how it takes an offbeat turn! All this, while the calming Kaapu beach of coastal Karnataka forms the backdrop. Raj B Shetty gives a sterling performance. Amrutha Naik (who acted as his crush in OMK) also gives a splendid act.
The fourth film "Uttara" is quite a tedious watch. It involves the conversation between two people dealing with the sensitive issue of media frenzy. The concept is good here however the slow screenplay might somewhat irk you.
"Paduvarahalli" is set in the British era and shows the story of a sepoy who comes to get a shave at a barbershop. Although the screenplay is slow here once again, the ideals of humanity and dutifulness are explained wonderfully.
"Sagara Sangama" is a silent film and involves a lot of thrill in it. The confrontation of a woman with a vagabond on a secluded road is shown rather remarkably. The horror, suspicion, distress, panic and fear is artfully captured through the camera lens. Haripriya and Rishab Shetty give out really good performances!
The last film "Lachhavva" is the crème de la crème of this movie experience. A humble mother's lone journey through the big city of Bengaluru is realistically picturised. The helplessness and innocence is gelled with a fortunate stroke of serendipity, which will leave you spellbound at the end!
To sum it up, each of these seven stories have their own pros and cons, some of them hold significance while others are open ended leaving it to viewer's imagination. The music and cinematography is also skilfully done in each of them with great attention to detail. The viewer might feel a tad uncomfortable with the slow screenplay due to the many number of short stories but as a whole, this movie is honestly a great watch, especially for all the art film connoisseurs out there!
