Ashwin Jatha Kalise Movie ReviewWhat is the film about?
Jatha Kalise is a road trip movie where two opposite characters Pinky and Rishi travel together. We know the eventuality but how it happens is what the film is about.

How is Ashwin’s performance?
Although the act is similar to his debut outing there is clearly a visible difference in the two characters chosen by Ashwin. The character in Jatha Kalise is more over the top and hyper active and he manages it decently. There is nothing else except this change of characterization.


Rakesh Shashi Jatha Kalise Movie ReviewDirection By Rakesh Shashi?
Rakesh Sashi has taken a fresh and relatable idea and presented it in a road trip movie format. It works well to a large extent due to decent direction by him. He keeps narrative racy without it ever getting stagnant. This is the biggest plus for the film in the first half. However things take a dramatic turn in the second half which results in loss of tempo. Additionally the comic track derails the proceedings for some time. Overall the second half brings the impact of the film down by several notches.


Tejaswi Jatha Kalise Movie ReviewTejaswi and others?
Tejaswini mostly does side characters in medium to big budget film but here she gets a full fledged role and she makes sure to leave a mark. It’s a typical righteous heroine falling for wayward and free spirited hero kind of character and she plays in convincingly. Apart from the two main characters Snigdha gets an important role and she too is fine in it. Besides these three primary characters there are a four other guys playing hero’s friends. They do their parts well. Comedians Shakalaka Shankar and Sapthagiri have brief appearance and they do good job of it as one expects. Others actor’s like Prudhvi, Dhanraj and Soorya etc act as fillers.

Sai Karthik Jatha Kalise Movie ReviewMusic and other departments?
Music is okay. Background score by Sai Karthik is better in comparison. Editing is fine and so is the cinematography. Dialogues are alright.

Drawbacks?
Unnecessary spoof
Slow and predictable second half


Drawbacks Jatha Kalise Movie ReviewAlternative Take
Once again it’s the pandering to comic block that has affected the narrative. One only hopes in attempts like this a strong narrative is kept throughout without deviation.

Did I enjoy it?
Yes for most part.

Will you recommend it?
Yes with reservations.
