'Sapta Sagaradaache Ello (Side A)' movie review: Rakshit Shetty, Rukmini Vasanth anchor a haunting love story – The Hindu
In Sapta Sagaradaache Ello (Someplace Past the Seven Seas), director Hemanth M Rao subverts the standard concept of a love story. He plunges straight into the connection drama with out the standard meet-cute trope or the much-explored romantic quantity.
It’s a meticulous paper-to-screen execution as Hemanth readies us for a moody love story from the very first scene. You see an argument that hints on the soon-to-be doomed destiny of Manu (Rakshit Shetty) and Priya (Rukmini Vasanth), a middle-class couple with many desires, huge and small.
Priya is an aspiring singer, who’s mesmerised by the ocean and needs for a easy life with Manu. Having moved to Bengaluru from her coastal hometown, she sees the ocean in Manu and wouldn’t thoughts spending her life singing for him. The desires of Manu, a driver to enterprise tycoon Shankar Gowda (Avinash), are lofty and materialistic. He appears to be like at high-rise buildings and luxurious automobiles with longing and hopes to personal them in the future.

Set in 2010, Sapta Sagaradaache Ello flows easily with Hemanth and Gundu Shetty’s deft writing. It doesn’t romanticise the struggles of the middle-class. Many small moments of pleasure preserve you immersed on the earth of Manu and Priya till destiny places the couple aside.
As hinted within the trailer, a misstep from Manu lands him in jail and that’s when Sapta Sagaradaache Ello turns into one thing greater than a love story. The jail parts are served with philosophical undertones as Manu fights guilt and yearns to reunite with Priya. Within the movie, the jail is a metaphor for rebirth among the many culprits. The shift in focus naturally unsettles our impression of the movie.
The movie springs again to life once more when Hemanth refocuses his consideration on the heartbreakingly good chemistry of the leads. We witness the love story strengthen in, of all locations, the jail. Separated by the fence, Manu and Priya alternate glances, smiles, mild phrases and keep away from taking a look at one another when engulfed in unhappiness.

Hemanth succeeds in providing a poetic expertise to the viewers, due to cinematographer Advaitha Gurumurthy’s visible remedy and Charan Raj’s haunting rating. Aside from the intelligent use of frames, Advaitha balances seamless visuals with close-up photographs of Rukmini and Rakshit that convey a robust sense of despair.
Charan aids Advaitha in establishing the myriad temper adjustments of the movie. The position of the rap music ‘Horaata’ avoids melodrama in a terrific vogue whereas Charan’s very good orchestral vary helps us forgive the movie’s periodic lulls and Hemanth’s indulgence. Scene after scene, Charan’s rating provokes unhappiness, doing full justice to the movie’s poignant nature. The background rating hits a crescendo within the closing parts, that are gripping, an adjective hardly used to explain a love story.
