Quirky!
TThe film is about a Bangalore based freelance copywriter 28 year-old Shreepad Naik (Arjun Radhakrishnan) who struggles to cope with the self-doubts about his artistic abilities and works for small-time ad agencies. Shree is frustrated that the world doesn’t give respect to freelancers that they deserve. A road trip opens his eyes
THE PLUS POINTS:
The narrative is fluid, free-flowing, random and mundane as Shreepad’s days are. Arjun Radhakrishnan effortlessly breathes life into Shree.
THE MINUS POINTS:
The film begins like an upbeat film meandering at its own pace, then suddenly at mid-point it gets brutally shocking but the pace is very languid.
THE VERDICT:
Overall, this quirky film, with a feel-good approach, surely surpasses one’s expectations, but will be a disaster as far as the box office is concerned..
