Godhi Banna Sadharana Mykattu (2016)
Layers and layers of delicate flavors
Well only if there were discussions on more than just upma !! I don't think anyone from the south of Vindhyas would argue with me on how delicate/killer can an UPMA ( uppittu )be !!.
Now that's what Mr Hemanth Rao and team have dished out . Just the perfect balance of every ingredient. To put it in "critics" terms -- Old vs New , Gun vs Knife, Father vs Son, Old Monk vs johnnie walker and never the least Bengaluru vs Bangalore !!!!!
And to top it all the subtle undercurrents between two very sensible individuals who in the course of events do get attracted to each other .
And just wonder how do you find such a cast . Its as they say , is to the "T" . I am like "WoW" !! , I am a big big fan of Ananth Nag and Achyuth Kumar . Now I think I will add the entire cast to the list . Rakshit Shetty and Shruthi Hariharan are definitely the new gen actors to watch out for . And Vasishta Simha plays a cool conscientious young rowdy .
As for the story , I have not seen anything as layered as this , may be after "lives of others ". So at one level there is Venkob and Shiva ( Ananth/Rakshith) . Next may be middle class man and a young rowdy (Achyuth/Vasishta) . There are no nonsense characters , like the mafia don and super mean police officer , who may in a way define the new city !!. All this happens with the backdrop of "namma Bengaluru/Bangalore" It's like any new city which can't form memories worth a story. Where every moment is about making it count. The good old memories keep drifting far away from us ,sometimes hidden behind cupboards , or on some rooftop schools with a backdrop of twenty plus story buildings or in the milieu of vehicles and homo sapiens , or with couple of pegs of good old monk !! .
Well you know johnnie walker is definitely a good drink but nothing can beat a peg of old monk and cola !! . Now that's what this movie is , a superb peg of Monk :))
Finally please don't miss it for the legendary Mr Ananth Nag !! Take A Bow !!!
