Kannada film ‘Garadi’ has released its trailer shortly before its release, and it fuses rustic action with filmy romance and great intensity. A film centered around village wrestling, despite its action-oriented approach there is a much less macho man aesthetic to the flick as it plays out a lot like a sports-drama than an action film, though it adds in elements from both.
Actor Soorya is playing the role of Soori, a champion-in-making in village wrestling. There is a strong element of families who have dedicated their houses to wrestling for decades, and as such it is no mere sport, but rather a matter of family honour, strength, and conviction.
Amid intense practice sessions and local matches, Soori meets a girl played by actress Sonal Montiero for whom he fell on Instagram and has been following her for a long time. Meeting her, he gives her some wrestling sessions and loses on purpose.

ReviewIf life is an unpredictable occurrence, so is death, says the unified chant of the five filmmakers, even as each presents their case in their unique tone and sensibility.Pentagon / ScreengrabAnthology films managed to find a second lease of life following the advent of streaming platforms. In India, the resurgence of the format could be attributed to the star-studded four-part feature Bombay Talkies (2013) which, as a grand attempt to mark the centenary year of Indian cinema, brought together the four noted filmmakers Karan Johar, Zoya Akhtar, Dibakar Banerjee, and Anurag Kashyap. Since then, one has seen several engaging themes and topics being moulded into anthologies and, in turn, helping the short film format thrive in parallel. Lust Stories, Paava Kathaigal, the Modern Love franchise, Navarasa, Anger Tales, and Kannada's own Katha Sangama (both 1975 & 2019) are some of the noteworthy endeavours in this format. In Guru Deshpande's five-film anthology Pentagon, the...

The film was meant to be a bona fide Darshan Thoogudeepa vehicle that his fans, or 'celebrities' as he refers to them, have been waiting for quite some time. And Kranti offers just that and not a shred more. Slo-mo walks, cheesy self-referential punch lines, SUVs tossed in the air every other minute, and a wafer-thin plot to tie this all up—V Harikrishna's second outing as director brims with cliches. But should you be watching it as a ‘Challenging Star' fan, the film is a satisfying big screen experience. Yet, if you were to spare a thought for the plotline buried under the frenzy, you are likely...
