Sarath who belongs to a communist family returns from US to pursue his dream. He joins a small company and persuade long time friends Varsha and Sunnu to quit their jobs in Bangalore and join him. Rest of the movie is about how the good-guy Sarath cope up with the change in Varsha's & Sunny's character and attitude.
Shyamaprasad and Joshua Newton maintains the tagline "Seasons change Do we?" throughout the movie. Director succeeds in his efforts to show the conflicts between conservatives and Gen Next. With the presentation, Shyamaprasad could bring a breeze of freshness in the film. Cameraman Shamdat deserve a pat on his back for capturing the outdoor and indoor scenes with elegance. The background score is apt for the movie and usage of western music best suits the context. Songs came out pretty well especially with Shamdat's camera work.
All the leading actors did their job well. Rima as Varsha looked stunning in few outfits. Apart from 3 lead actors rest of the cast disappointed me. There were quite a few scenes which looked artificial thanks to their acting - hospital scene, brother's booze scene and the scenes which involved the boss.(That lady was so irritating).
The movie is bit slow and drags in parts. There are few clichés and main characters fails to connect to viewer most of the time. Final half an hour looked far better than rest of the movie - intense wise.
I would term this movie as a multiplex movie(though there are none in gods own country) with lots of comparable scenes to its Bollywood counterparts - excessive usage of English(though it is required for the movie), gay friend, references to condom, sex in the car etc. Even though the limit is never crossed, we need to wait and see how regular moviegoers accept these.
When a director like Shyamaprasad comes out with a movie there ought to be comparison. There is nothing much to take out of the movie theater unlike "Ore Kadal".But its a nice and simple movie with its own share of high and lows. If you think you will get bored by so called "slow movies" you can give it a miss. Others give it a try.
