One of the one review: Young Rajkumar’s film is almost perfect Kannada action
Ekka Movie Review: Directed by Rohit Pariki, this Kannada Kirkiri Action film stars young Rajkumar, Sanjana Anand and Sampada Hulivana in the lead roles. With the first half and a good second half, the film is an exciting watch, but also its shortcomings.
In short
- The young prince showed reform and leads firmly
- Ekke’s first half is emotionally entertaining and well made
- Director Rohit Parki displays the ability to strong story
A director’s vision is often being compromised for various variables in the market. Whether the call manufacturers, other market forces, or the directors are taken by themselves, the compromise takes a part of the essence of a film. Sometimes it can not be noticed by anyone. But, when a film exceptionally lays its foundation, it forms the characters, establishes the struggle and is definitely well to be a complete entertainer, a clear compromise is very painful. Unfortunately, ‘Ekka’ suffers from agreement. But, let’s go later!
Muthu (young prince, Matini legend’s grandson Dr. Rajkumar and Shiva Rajkumar’s nephew and late Puni Rajkumar) is a happy person who spends the days of eating, sleeping and stopping with his friends in his village. It was introduced as a person who is a symbol of innocence, but also takes an animal, Muthu lives a peaceful life until adversity attacks, and his mother Rathna (Shruti) sends him to Bengaluru to make life.
As Muthu has established his life in the city of Metro, he meets many characters who begin to test their innocence and trigger the internal animal. What happens if Muthu loses himself? Will he be able to control his internal animal? Will he maintain the promise made to his mother? Answers to these questions, and much more, make the film’s plot.
The first half of ‘Ekka’ is simply amazing, which gives you gozbumps at the interval point. In fact, it is so good that one is emotionally connected, and many technical shortcomings are easily ignored due to brilliant emotional story-construction. However, ‘Ekka’ is a prime example of an agreement that has gone wrong. As the content cooks a solid film, an agreement leaves behind a sense of dissatisfaction.
Director -writer Rohit Valaki shows great ability – to see a filmmaker – as he excels in communicating emotions and hooks the audience for the world. The world that is created, feelings at stake, layers in the story, gritty presentation, height sequence, and technical departments prepared the film for watching and sound – the captain of the ship has definitely displayed his ability.
‘Ekka’ is full of everything going through its way. But perhaps by the time it reaches the climax, it becomes overloaded, as the film has an important part that is wrapped in a second case. This is the previously mentioned ‘compromise’, and it disrupts the overall experience of the film, which was otherwise a good dramatic experience. Is it right to blame the director for this, or did the decision include other effects? The answer should be guilty of preventing the film ‘Ekka’ from reaching the great cinematic heights.
In the film, the young Rajkumar, who moved beyond the front, gave a good performance as Muthu. He carries the story till the end and has improved his acting ability compared to his first film ‘Yuva’, and this idea is also resonating among the audience.
Sampada Hulivana, who plays the role of Mallika – Muthu’s partner through the second half – also gave an impressive performance. Sanjana Anand’s character, Nandini, seems to have been shortened and ending in the overall story. With the inclusion of many other prominent actors like Sadhu Kokila, Shruti, Atul Kulkarni, Purnechandra Mysore and many others, everyone feels that assignments were understood and distributed to what was necessary.
The music by Charan Raj in ‘Ekka’ is only luxurious, which originally elevates both emotional beats and the arch of the story. The songs systematically blend into the story, while the background score takes heavily in increasing the mood of each scene – whether it is tenderness, anger or mystery. It is the complementary truth P Hegde’s cinematography, whose frames lend to grit and grace, and editing Deepu S Kumar, which ensures that the film is engaged in most parts.
Overall, ‘Ekka’ is a film that offers more hits than Mrs. It is an emotionally charged, technically sound and performance story that shows the young prince as a leading person in Kannada cinema. Despite the clear agreement that prevents it from achieving its full potential, the film provides a memorable dramatic experience with several high points. Supported by strong music, compelling view and Rohit Pariki’s grounded storytelling, the film is definitely worth the clock.
