Do you love crime? How about an investigation thriller? Well, it’s been days we’ve seen a flick of this genre in Kannada. Having said that, the crime thriller is not at all a new thing to Kannada cinema. We have Sunil Kumar Desai’s Tarka, Bhargava’s Avala Hejje, Shankar Nag starrer Nyaya Ellide and so on. These are the movies which are an edge of a seat thriller which binds you to its story and to its suspense-filled screenplay. In similar lines, carrying that sense of curiosity, Kavaludaari is hitting the screens on this 12th of April. Here are a few reasons why you should be excited to watch this film.
1. Hemanth Rao is Back After Godhi Banna Sadharana Maikattu (GBSM)
In the last decade, if there are ten must- watch Kannada movies then Godhi Banna Sadharana Maikattu is definitely one of them. The kind of story it carried backed by performances of top-notch quality had managed to impress a large set of urban audience.
The hands-down acting by a veteran like Ananth Nag, sensibly supported by Charan Raj on music makes GBSM special. It was directed by Hemanth Rao and now he is back with Kavaludaari, thus creating an expectation among the audience who had liked GBSM. So, if you are one of them then you got to be excited for Kavaludaari.
2. Hemanth Rao is One Of the Screen- Writers Of Bollywood’s Popular Movie ‘Andhadun’
If you haven’t watched Andhadun yet then it is available on Netflix. It is one of the most appreciated Indian movies of 2018 with an IMDB rating of 8.5. It is also an edge of a seat thriller which revolves around crime. However, the matter of fact is that Hemanth Rao is one of the screenwriters of Andhadun who have primarily shaped the story for its first-half. So, will there be elements of that kind in Kavaludaari? Here you go, one more reason to be excited about his upcoming flick.
3. A Neo-Noir Thriller Dedicated to Police Officers
If you look at the trailer of this film then it has elements of murder mystery, investigation, and a sense of unknowingness. The story seems to revolve around an age-old case to give a logical conclusion in the climax. Going with Hemanth’s words, through this movie, he has tried to explore the human side of a cop-life and the trauma a cop goes through in the process of solving a case.
Quoting Hemanth’s words from TNM interview, he feels that a police job is a thankless job in many ways. He says, ” I’m not giving a hunky dory image of their profile but I’m saying it’s a very difficult job.” Kavaludaari in that sense has a universal appeal because the situation is the same across the country.

As Hemanth Rao said, there is a lot of swagger to his personality of Kavaludaari. Without a second thought, Ananth Nag is one of the strong reasons for you to be excited about this movie.
5. Charan Raj’s Music
We always see Charan Raj as a story-teller than just a music composer. This artist blends so well with the makers that he always brings that charm in the narrative. The recent example being Tagaru where Charan saw a commercial success however holding to his image of being a part of the story being narrated.
This is his second film with Hemanth Rao after GBSM and so obviously, there was an excitement attached to it. However, the released songs of Kavaludaari has fairly met with the expectations. Be it Nigooda or Samshaya – Kavaludaari’s music has ignited the mood for sure. It is said that over 100 musicians have worked together in an orchestra over a period of 48 days. So, Charan’s magical piece of music is yet another reason for you to be excited about Kavaludaari.
