Fitting ending to the story
19 November 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The storyline set by Hemant Rao pulls you in (Rakshith Shetty) Manu and (Rukmini Vasanth) Priya's world but the show stealer for this movie is Chaitra's character Surabhi.

SSE Side A ends with Priya's hope getting crushed by Manu's decisions and giving audience some hope about Manu and Priya' story. SSE Side B ends with Surabhi's hope with Manu, getting crushed and parallelly bringing Priya's story to almost satisfying closure.

The story arc moves from blue to red, then to blue in the end, coming full circle, both literally and figuratively. While Hemant writes the story and takes his time to build the characters, CharanRaj helps him to achieve this with fitting music score which evokes certain feeling needed for the scene which is unfolding on screen. You won't feel the music is out of place or just placed for the sake of it.

Advaith is the third important person in helping Hemant achieve this level of storytelling, which was unseen before, in Kannada Film Industry. The cinematography, montage needed for the scenes are well built and awe inspiring. The scenes involving Manu and Surabhi with Priya in Manu's mind are shown perfectly.

As the story feels about to be dragged in the end, Hemant pulls a great climax to keep the audience hooked and put audience in Manu's POV. The one and only fight scene in the entire movie is the one and only that is required, and man is it made well!

Watch it for the sake of poetry, for the storytelling brilliance of Hemant, for the sake of Rakshith's god level acting, for the purity of Surabhi and Priya characters executed naturally by Chaitra and Rukmini respectively, for the sake of technical mastery by Charan, Advaith, Vikram and all the technical people involved.

You wont get these kind of stories made anymore in the mainstream, where every person involved has given their 100%!
