A film that has a local flavor has stolen the hearts of many in
the coastal Karnataka. Ulidavaru Kandante (as seen by the rest) is a gift to
the people of Tulunadu who cherish seeing their cultural dances, songs and
language on the big screen. Mr. Rakshit
Shetty, a director from Udupi, has personalized the story in such a way that he
has very well depicted the local culture, language, way of living, etc. The
film brings Malpe, the fishery coast to the screen to talk to the people in a
realistic way. The director also adds the element of religiosity by placing
Bhootha’s name.
He is fondly remembered by the people of South Canara for not only
honoring Tulu culture by bringing on the bigger screen but also for capturing
the emotions of Tuluvas all over the nation.
The four star rating film is one of the very few films in Kannada
which has explored the various aspect of rustic life of the people of Tulunadu.
The film explored the moments of mythology so that the Director is able to bring
the characters to a relevant context. By the nature of the plot of Akira
Kurosawa’s Rashomon Mr. Rakshit has presented the story in an appealing way.
The specialty of the film is that the
Director seemed to have lived and relived thousands of films in order to bring
what he dreamt of as a small boy. The tiger dance, yakshagana are few of the fascinating
dances which brought a lot excitements among people as they are dear to them.
