A near perfect first half that beautifully unfolds, is slightly let down, partly by the many knots that it needlessly imposes itself in the second half and partly by the perceived mandatory Indian sensibilities.
While there is no doubt about the top class technical qualities and the outstanding background score, Dakshina Kannada in its pristine beauty offers some soul cleansing moments. And Oh! yes, thanks for bringing glimpses of the richness of Yakshagana and the goosebumps that the sights and sounds can bring.
The Wow factor of course will always be Saikumar's performance. The man is in complete control. His voice tone and modulation sends you to raptures. And when the the focus shifts from the vocal chords to the eyes, they seem to have the capability to pierce any object and beyond.
In the twenty minutes of the screen space, Saikumar, literally steals the movie viewer, memories of the movie and leaves his performance's footprints on the viewers mind!!!:
