Neevu heliddu correct. This was my exact reaction after first day first show. I wasn't satisfied. I hit the theatres again for the 2nd time and my views changed by 60%. Try to watch again. First watch we go with lot of expectations. 2nd watch we go to analyze.
ಸಿನೆಮಾ ಕೊನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದು dialogue ಇದೆ, ಸಿನೆಮಾ ಶೂಟ್ ಮಾಡಿಲ್ಲ ಬದಲಿಗೆ realityಯನ್ನೇ ತೋರಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಎಂದು, ಅದರ ಅರ್ಥ, UI ನ dull n boring, stage-drama like screenplay, ಸತ್ತ ಮೆದುಳಿನ ನಮ್ಮೆಲ್ಲರ ಬದುಕಿಗೆ ( ಸಮಾಜಕ್ಕೆ) ಕನ್ನಡಿ ಹಿಡಿದಂತಿದೆ...., ನಮ್ಮ ಬದುಕೂ ಅಷ್ಟೇ boring, repetitive, dull ಆಗಿದೆ ಅಲ್ವೇ?! Let's not underestimate uppi's screenplay, deliberately he has made so. If one understand the Intention of the movie one can understand why it's made so...., unfortunately hardly ppl can understand, decode the movie, movie's Intention. Anyways, I appreciate ur concern my friend 🙂
Very true.. upendra movie isbest work till date because he had hunger like that. He had team to explode his ideas like that. Now all normal conventional associate directors he has .. he is not able to make it now thats sad 😢
it is not an expectation, Uppi has the capacity to get 1000CR, but he is not at all interested to try it at least.... He should announce a out and out MASS movie...
Need to watch.. multiple times.. otherwise it may be the worst movie of uppi.. but after seeing reviews.. so many things changed... this is a classic...not for everyone..
Hello sir. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I liked your genuine feedback about Uppi sir, his movies and the UI movie. Whatever you told were felt real and I too accept it.
Finally somebody spoke my mind! I felt UI is disaster, this is not Upendra level movie. I won't go to movie First Day First Show from now, definitely Uppi forced me to watch reviews and go
Spoiler alert: Agree with your views. Just sharing my thoughts. I seldom comment. This is the longest POST on any social media. Shrivatsa, just after watching the UI film, I had mixed thoughts too. But, thinking further, it all made sense to me. I won't go into the details of covering that. Instead, I'll just share my thoughts on your take. In your review, you cover concisely his filmography as Director largely. Appreciate that. I liked your comparison of the "Upendra" (1999) movie with "Inside Out" (2015) we should be shouting out and proudly wearing on our chest and sleeves. (People to date cheaply copy Memento. Probably the best version yet was released in Malayalam recently. I'll leave that for guessing). Our Industry's (when we do) concepts are way more mature than most out there but do not get our due. The critics all over our great nation bend and give all their fingers and toes up to the mediocrity or bad movies and decent to good ones (not calling "great") will get beaten to death. Back to the UI movie, yes Upendra the director has dumbed down the narration. My thoughts, He most likely believed that he needed to cater to both his existing audience and the new ones he hoped to get on board. Using instances: Dusting "THE HAT" is a memory jog to the "A" movie and everyone who knows him. Showing the brain cave is to help the new audience realize that all of this is happening within themselves. Strangely, it appears as though he reckons that the younger/newer audience is less intelligent. On the jarring technicality, I believe it is by design. Since the entire film is a struggle with oneself. The thoughts in our heads are many and are always busy. It's chaotic, unorganized, and not very aesthetic. Since I don't know the film's budget, I can't say with certainty if it's comparable to the final product. Closing thoughts, I'm happy that there are few who still back, encourage, and critic their revered god! I'm GOD, GOD IS GREAT! LONG LIVE and DIRECT Upendra. I think I went too overboard. That's fine, after all we are talking about the man who is...
Well said, you spoke my mind out. I felt the upendra movie was a timeless masterpiece and after the super movie seems uppi sir has gotten stuck in his philosophy and less on execution. Regarding UI movie the choppy camera movements, out of sync dubs, the characters randomly coming up, disappearing, songs can be questioned for its relevancy/lyrics and the choppy narration. Upendra movie is still a masterpiece even today and every scene, every song comes up so organically and blends in together where the audience never feels distracted while understanding the core of the movie. Uppi sir die hard fan here, we expect a lot from him.
Sir Agree most of part but just UI has less commercial flashiness compared to A, Upendra ( mainly dialogues and songs/his lyrics ) so ppl might have felt bit bored/confused, UI has deeper meaning bit more complex than A and upendra and less complex than uppi 2 , one point i want to make is ppl complaining characters coming randomly here and there , but for me it is not true. There might be more metaphors for characters but what i understood and can relate is : Vamana Rao/Katri seena : a politician who was nothing but becomes a king stealing ppl/society money , Bodyguards around him is power , dwarfs are nothing but ppl , which refers to Vamana and Maha bali Story Acyuth Rao : Guru as a straight forward , metaphorically Sun and Moon , which protects planet Earth in every possible way , Light and Dark Guruprasad : Representation of blind hope in society , no matter society in 2 piece still has a hope that some one ( leader ) will save them in multiple scenes Heroine : Can be taken as soul or Justice , Soul /Justice always based on truth but in Kaliyuga or current phase its kinda hidden , though soul likes/linked to truth in current phase it has no courage to link with truth , so at the end once truth ( satya ) dies soul/justice dies Satya and Kalki : Straight forward Joker : Straight forward ( Media )
@@priyankshetty549 totally agree on the metaphorical aspect including - kalki being raised by afghan and afghan guiding kalki to snatch what rightfully belongs to him(symbolic representation of mayhem created by USA and USSR in the world).
I think for him to conceptualize a philosophy into a commercial movie while acting in other projects is taking time. But I certainly beleive that he's constantly updating himself which is evident. As a fan, yes I want him to direct more movies no doubt. Also about the spoon feeding part - I think it was deliberately done here for 2 reasons a) to ensure a person with below average IQ also has clues to cling on to the subject and thereby reach lot more audiences. b) could be producers influence to mellow down the complexity Nevertheless, I respect your opinion and hope that he directs many more movies and pens down many more songs because his 4-6 minute songs also have life altering values.
Good analysis Sir, but uppi sir won't get producers for his unique kind of concepts as all producers need a movie thats straight, simple and instantly connecting with the audience to make profit.
Brother tappu tilibedi UI nalli heliro vicharana UPENDRA cinema Tara raw agi expect madidre, kandita censor board avru cinema release agoke bidalla. Heegiruvaga avru e vicharakke iste softness kodoke saadya. Finally ond maatu ondu vele nimage UI movie na raw version alli nodbekandre OPERATION ANTHA cinema nodi. Both are same one raw and another is soft that's it. Dr.Upendra sir was very clear about his vision. Once again watch UI with focus don't expect anything. Thank you for your honest review.
Well said , I hope this reaches out to upendra sir, thr writing of the movie was good other then spoon feeding part...the film is weak when it comes to making , the VFX was bad filled , the set looked especially the one before 2040 looks extremely artifical and fake, the actions scenes could have been directed well , none of them were engaging, it felt short of cinematic experience we were anticipating from a big kannada movie , next direction uppi sir must focus on quality making
I didn't saw UI but i felt in Uppi2 he tried very hard to make it open ended which should have done more generically i felt. I feel he has to try new way to tell the things w.r.t screenplay and content as well still upendra is my favourite movie of director upendra
Very well explained. Ui movie story/reality telling should have been better. No where near to your previous movies direction/presentation style. You want to make movies in a different way than previous ones? Fine… but make it in better way… very disappointed. And also try directing other actors(hero’s) for different genres, you don’t need to act in all the movies to convey your message… you need a better team… also try different genres like horror, thriller etc
I think you need to watch the movie again to understand the movie. Also watch interview with Murali Mohan and Editor Sri. Those two should give you enough food to think. UI is best movie for 2hrs 5mins. If Uppi added other masala and extra songs, it would have been diluted with 2hr 45mins movie. Normally general people wont be happy with OPEN ending movies but that not Uppi's fault.
Don't worry brother, this boring drag flick screenplay looked very intentional to show how mediocre our taste has become. Real UI is yet to release. UI DECODED: What we saw in theatre is not UI at all, just an imagination of a rejected script. Real UI is watched by the audience (rowdy, a couple and two girls kissing). We will see this movie in second UI release around May 2025. Heroine Sunny Leone. Part 2 will be total Uppi style and will be 🔥
Sir uppi directions for uppi audience do u think will get return of investment spending 100cr to this film and get back returns. Not every film bcz kgf or Charlie. new directors are new generation fact is they are babies when uppi sir started directly. It's just technology transformation new directors are practiced well.
Watch second time definitely u enjoy every bit of the film
This is the best review and exact, perfect feedback. You are real fan for real star ⭐

Totally agree....appreciate ur effort in conveying it...

Totally agreed 💯
True uppi fan👆, as he told expectation is injurious to health
it is not an expectation, Uppi has the capacity to get 1000CR, but he is not at all interested to try it at least.... He should announce a out and out MASS movie...
Watched first day first show and exactly my reaction, had so much expectations but was very disappointed.
Need to watch.. multiple times.. otherwise it may be the worst movie of uppi.. but after seeing reviews.. so many things changed... this is a classic...not for everyone..

Spoke my mind ❤
Thanks for sharing your points and I too felt the same.
The screenplay could have been better.
Good content with age old film making. Ashte agirodu. Lag swalpa

Acyuth Rao : Guru as a straight forward , metaphorically Sun and Moon , which protects planet Earth in every possible way , Light and Dark
Guruprasad : Representation of blind hope in society , no matter society in 2 piece still has a hope that some one ( leader ) will save them in multiple scenes
Heroine : Can be taken as soul or Justice , Soul /Justice always based on truth but in Kaliyuga or current phase its kinda hidden , though soul likes/linked to truth in current phase it has no courage to link with truth , so at the end once truth ( satya ) dies soul/justice dies
Satya and Kalki : Straight forward

Achyutkumar's makeup is worst than a drama company
When you have not liked UI and complaining that he is telling same thing that everyone knows! why would you ask him to make more movies!
