A journey to Kasi is something that's real and rational. The title itself is travelling all along the storyline. The connecting of the dots through a seamless screenplay makes it very cool and cinematic. The lives of the characters in the movie are quite reasonably lived and appropriated to the real time experiences accordingly as per the storyline. Very practically narrated by the director Munikrishna even though it's a debut directorial of him into the TFI feature. Being a miniature budget certain technicalities demands an improvisational touch. Cinematography wise there's a potential enhancement visible in some sequences. Background score is very much apt and in sync to the screenplay. Artists have done a very good job in contributing to their best performance wise. One must watch this movie with a deepest paradigm into the characters of this script that projects the life on its toes and says that one must fulfil one's duties even in the toughest of the times. There're plenty of emotions imbibed in this narrative such as love, anger, greed, kindness, self determination, self realisation, self actualisation, righteousness, piety, loyalty, faith and the biggest Kasi. The storyline voyaging in two parallel timelines is quite intriguing when Swetha(Katalyn Gowda)who lives a life by earning promiscuously is badly beaten by goons and meets a stranger Jack Weber(Alexander Salnikov) who comes to India in search of his Guru to learn Advaita philosophy from a foreign land who saves her and takes her to Kasi along with him. And a family who sets a foot for a pilgrimage to Kasi to fulfil the promise of Sambaiah's(Pratap) wife and Sivananda's(Chaitanya Rao)mother along with his wife Yashoda(Priya Paluvayi) and his daughter Bujji(Patas Akshara). Abruptly tables turn down when Sivananda experiences a parapsychological call in an instance and goes missing from his family. And what's there in the blind curve is to be seen in the film.
