The double standards of filmmakers should go away. On the Muhurat day, they offer prayers to God for the progress of the film, but when it comes to the subject matter, they scold the same God and have verbal dialogues in front of the idol. Is it because ‘God’ does not retaliate?
This seems to be the attitude of the film ‘Interval’. For their self-made mistakes, the trio’s lives reach a point of no return, and they end up blaming God for all their misfortunes. Of course, there are quite a few funny moments, well-written dialogues, and good technical support, which add to the quality of the film.
The trio in the village—Ganesh U, Ganesh T, and Ganesh S (Shashi Raj, Prajwal Kumar Gowda, Suki)—have no means to survive and keep making costly mistakes. They eventually run away from the village to the city. As engineering students staying in Bengaluru with a common friend, a security guard, they fail to take life seriously. Though they acknowledge the dignity of labor, they do not learn from their hardworking security guard friend. One of them attempts to change and take life seriously, but his one-sided love ruins his career.
With no means to survive in the city, the trio returns to their village, where they receive a warm welcome from their parents. However, they come back empty-handed, with shattered dreams.
Yet, they refuse to correct their ways and find the right path in life. The three Ganeshs stand before a Ganesha temple, expressing their frustration over God’s lack of support in their careers. In the end, one of them, Shashi Raj, throws a challenge to God to shape up and succeed in life. The film ‘Interval’ concludes with a slogan, hinting that there may be a continuation.
For all freeloaders, fun-loving individuals, and good-for-nothing guys in society, the trio’s characters might be relatable. All three actors have performed well under the direction of Suki.
Vikas Vasishta has provided some lovely tunes for the film. The song sung by Vijay Prakash, “Bhagavantha Koduthane Life Nallu Sariyada Time Nallu Interval,” stands out.
The cinematography adds great strength to the film, with stunning visuals capturing the locales of Prayagraj and dark night travels.
The key takeaway from ‘Interval’ is that there is no point in blaming God for one’s own mistakes.
