Must watch for this generation
shannuv23 May 2023
I was quite skeptical going in and even when the movie started. But I was pleasantly surprised at how gripping the movie was and the relevance of the movie in today's world. The multi dimensional twists were fantastic. The theme is bold and the twists are bolder.

The simple setup and acting by every actor is a highlight. I'm so impressed with the movie that I am telling all my network of people about it and pushing them to go watch it asap although it's uncertain of the delivery channel.

Finally the Kannada movies have arrived for a different persona. I'm in fact proud of the movie as if I made it!!!

Please go ahead and watch this movie and you will not be disappointed for sure.

Masterpiece

Watch it last week in Richardson, Texas.

This film has a simple and beautiful script which could occur to any person in their life. Not exactly the same incident type but similar mishaps during teenage/formative years of one's life. The consequences that follow through are going around in circles with no apparent conclusion and with each passing moment a new twist and turn occurs. This is as close to real life a person can experience which is all about grinding struggles from an unfortunate incident occurring. Also, the emotions of South Indians particularly Kannadigas is captured so well to communicate we are passively-aggressive human beings which is in our DNA.

Positives: 1. Script is the winner 2. Direction in choosing typical college type resembling colleges of Bangalore South :) 3. Emotions from the College Principal through his body-language and low tone communication, vice-principal's pre-judice and having her own interest in furthering her ambitions to become the principal is all about humans seeking opportunity about others misery.

4. Typical justice to suppressed people as getting no benefit of doubt as both the students should get equally punished which is not the case as in every situation, there is a sense of personal pre-judice in adjudicating the sentence harsh to one student and diluted sentence to other student.

5. No Commercial aspects spoiling the content of the movie.

6. Simple and Strong message as how fate can unravel in opposite direction if the students go off track and the repercussions accordingly receiving unwanted attention at a young age.

Negatives: 1. Can't find any apparent negatives in this movie. One could be is provide equal justice/punishment to both the students or let go by stern warning. Arresting a student is a bit harsh/extreme, i find it considering the gravity of the mistake.

Thanks, Arjun.

Beatuful watch

Watched it at the Kerala International Film Festival.

The film has a solid script. With a twist every 5 minutes, it runs like a thriller and moves at a decent pace. Deals with a number of pertinent issues without ever becoming preachy or taking up activism.

Pros: The acting is solid from everyone. The screenplay is sturdy. Dialogs are very very real.

Cons: Production value could have been better. But it's understandable given the low budget. Camera Work could have been slightly better. Also the duration can be reduced a bit.

Verdict: A well written, a well directed, extremely well acted solid drama that works for most parts.

Special shout out to the lead actress, the vice principal, the principal, the activist lawyer, the judge and the college students who rebel.

A must watch!!
bharathshimoga22 May 2023
Wonderful subject carried very nicely. Not once felt something was irrelevant. A must watch for teenagers , youths to be careful from being trapped by someone's action........

Actors did justice to their roles. Camera work is decent. Purely original No artificial flavors..

Story revolves around many of the circumstances that we see around us like gender discrimination, upper/lower caste, management orders , easy to share but hard to digest social media influences and many more........

Overall good movie with natural acting, light music, intelligent editing, awesome grip in screenplay and direction.

Kudos to Seventeeners team.

Tight, gripping and thought provoking
sunilml-6183422 May 2023
Beautiful movie handled very sensitively, no long boring scenes, to the point , 100% in touch with reality. New actors have done a great job and the direction and story is so good that you don't need any fancy stars or songs to carry the movie.

The college authorities are genuine and reminds one of our college days and dealing with professors and such. The teenagers have essayed their roles with great maturity and keeping it to the point

All roles large or small make an impact including the court announcer with the funny case calling which I think is again very real to life

Kudos to entire team for taking up a difficult subject and presenting it with such care that makes you want a sequel.

Hadinelentu - A glimpse into the realistic world
We had a great Sunday evening at Pollack theatres in Arizona. We not only watched the film, but also interacted with the movie artists.

This film must not be missed as it brings to limelight perineal problems of the society pertaining to younger generation, the caste system and the disparity of opinion between authorities that impact decision making. The credible and compelling theme; the genuine setting and characterisation; and the well sequenced events engrosses the audience to an extent that they forget about the intermission and music.

The characterisation is genuine. Whether it is a college principal, a staff, a student, a parent, a stakeholder, or police constable, each one's concern, their stress and their struggle to find a solution feels genuine and believable.

The only refinement may be needed in the audio in a few scenes and a few shaky slides.

The movie leaves the audience debating over a thought provoking and a strong message. The audience is also seen anxious to see the next twist and imagine a solution.

Amazing movie
gmrishi22 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Very well scripted and every scene bridges to the next scene & you won't even a single shot being irrelevant.

I think Prithvi has done a great job in scripting & directing focusing the very basic issue we have in India.

To viewers: There is not even a single scene that's obscene even though thing revolves around college doing their wishful thing and loosing track of their life by sharing things with friends & internet.

My perspective is, every college student, their parents, college/high school management should watch this.

This is a meaningful movie that delivers a valuable message.

Stunning script, direction, actors (Key roles - boy, girl, College president, vice president, lawyer both side (girl and boy)), parents, the sports teacher. Everyone has given their best.
