A knowledgeable director, S Vasanth Kumar, makes his entry into the film industry with ‘Nodadha Putagalu,’ which is quite interesting from its title. However, as you enter the cinema hall to watch this film, the second half with its emotional depth and surprises captivates your heart.
The director employs a serene narration technique, giving an extra edge to this well-crafted film by a qualified IT professional. While it doesn’t overburden the audience’s intellect, the only drawback lies in its protracted narration. The absorbing second half, with its suspenseful elements, resonates with the emotions of the protagonist, making the film truly worth watching.
After dealing with the tumultuous tantrums of youth, the impact of a difficult past can often evoke empathy. Sometimes, the journey from a troubled phase of life to a better one keeps life going.
The concern about life after death or before it is a universal one, and director Vasanth Kumar explores this concept through the narrative of ‘Unseen Pages.’ His cinematic presentation prompts the audience to ponder upon these themes.
The film revolves around the lives of Adhitya, Harini, and Sunitha. However, Sunitha’s entry into the story after several twists and turns makes it all the more relevant. At this point, Adhitya and Harini’s lives appear distinct from the audience’s perspective. The question of whether Harini, an intruder in Adhitya and Sunitha’s love, will find her share of happiness, adds shock and suspense, urging the viewers to witness it unfold on the silver screen.
Pritam’s efforts in the protagonist role are commendable, providing a satisfactory performance. While Kavya Ramesh looks beautiful, her role doesn’t demand anything extraordinary to showcase her talent.
The well-composed songs “Yee Kshana…” and “Dari Savidu Sagona…” add to the film’s overall charm. Kumar’s cinematography skillfully juxtaposes the past and the present, enhancing the storytelling aspect of the film.
