“People ask for change” is a famous slogan, but this young and talented team, headed by Director Keshava Moorthy, picked a popular slogan from public places—”Nimma Vasthugalige Neeve Javaabdaararu”—and made an alarming film for society, which is amazing with its three-track narration.
Keshava Moorthy brings in the middle, lower-middle, and upper-middle-class situations in life and holds a mirror to society. The fun part is found in the Rohith and Rathna track. Both, affected by kleptomania, provide some refreshing moments, while the first track of Innayat and the bike stealing, along with the honey trap track of Albert and Sanketh Purohit, is admirable in narration but a bit serious.
However, all three tracks are neat and tidy—not very time-consuming. What is happening around us is brilliantly narrated. The Innayat and bike episode and the honey trap boomerang reflect another level of the director’s thinking. Certainly, this is a film for the masses, especially the younger generation.
Prasanna Shetty as Innayat has done justice to his role, even while riding the bike. He has a new style, and his innocence is quite appealing. The Apoorva Bharadwaj and Madhusudhan Govind track is the most enjoyable and lovely. Both have acted extremely well, making this track the most redeeming feature of the film.
The serious yet effective track of Dilip Raj and Shilpa Manjunath is loaded with emotion and excitement. It unfolds seriously but delivers a big lesson. The background songs are well-placed. Naanu Middle Class is the best of all three songs. The cinematography and editing of the film are competitive.
This is a film worth watching—a good one to start 2025 with.
