In life, memories of the past can be haunting, but that doesn’t mean we should dwell on them. Philosophers advise us to embrace the present and avoid fixating on the future.
In “Abhiramachandra,” the beginning is slow, and the second half holds the most anticipated moments. During the final 20 minutes, the audience becomes animated as Abhi (Ratha Kirana), Ram (Siddu Moolimani), and Chandra (Natyaranga) connect with a mysterious girl. This unexpected twist is the handiwork of director Nagendra Ganiga. However, the story doesn’t end there; there’s more to unfold, making it essential to endure this lengthy film.
The portrayal of childhood in the film could have been altered, as what we convey to the younger generation carries great significance. The depiction of infatuation during school days may not align with the director’s vision.
Another aspect worth mentioning is the incessant use of cigarettes and bottles by the three main characters. Modifying their behavior would have been a welcome change for the film.
The use of Dakshin Kannada and Bengaluru Kannada, along with the choice of artists and locations, is commendable. The 112-minute screenplay is satisfactory, but character development could have been more robust.
Nagendra Ganiga and the team extensively explored Kundapura, Bengaluru, and Mysuru to capture the film’s essence. Ravi Basrur, known for his work in KGF, delivers a musical score, and his son Pavan’s portrayal is reminiscent of Abhi’s youthful days.
“Abhiramachandra” is a suitable choice for leisure viewing.
