REVIEW

Ishtakamya is one of the worst Kannada movies I have ever watched as of 17 – May – 2017. This film offers one of the stupidest ending that makes absolutely no sense at all. The overall experience is boring. Could someone please tell these directors to stop shooting films like it’s in the 90s and update it?

I don’t know anything about the main cast but analyzing this movie alone, their performance was not that bad. The fact how the film is executed didn’t help their case but judging their performance alone, it wasn’t that bad. But Kavya Shetty had no character development at all and she contributed nothing to the movie. She was a bitch for the first 2 scenes then completely disappears for the rest of the movie. It seemed like the director forgot she is one of the main lead so they made her forcefully show up to setup the interval twist and forced complication. She then continues her bitchy attitude showing no other qualities then out of the blue, she witnesses a pregnancy and sudden character change to strengthen the forced complication of the love triangle even though the answer is very simple. The guy playing her father, Rangayana Raghu is annoying and Chikkanna comedy is horrible.

The first half was interesting. The setup they were going for had some curiosity to it that made me go forward with what they will do with this concept. Then you suddenly go downhill to boredom because it goes nowhere. The interval scene and the horrible ending destroys whatever hope this movie had going. The interval scene conflicts everything we knew about the main actor’s character. It makes him look like a cheat and a fraud which is not the character of the doctor. The first half had an interesting premise going but as the story progress you start to lose hope and eventually when you get to the interval scene, you are in the point of no return.

The seconds begins with the main actor’s reasoning for his actions but it doesn’t justify his actions at all. The summary of the reason as to why he started an affair (no other way of putting it, he has an affair with Mayuri Kyatari) is Kavya Shetty was very bossy, never showed any signs of attraction though married because of her bossy attitude, has germaphobia and tokophobia. That is the summary of it. But that still is (first of all forced) not what they were trying to setup the main character to be. He still looks like a fraud and a cheat. The worst part is that Mayuri Kyatari still tries to continue the relationship with him despite knowing that he is a married person. Does this script writer know good morality or not? Who thought this was a good idea? Then it’s the ending, if you don’t want spoilers for the ending then fuck off because I’m telling it.

The ending is Mayuri Kyatari goes away from him to take up aviation and Kavya Shetty drives to her husband i.e. the main actor. So, they give the buildup as Mayuri Kyatari is in a vehicle going away from him and Kavya Shetty is coming in her car to her husband’s home. There is a suspense factor as in the background, few workers are loading logs into a truck that is uphill and few of them slips and one of the log kills one of the ladies. It turns out it was his Kavya Shetty. The end credits show Mayuri Kyatari as a pilot (or something like that). That is the ending. So, what was the need for the Kavya Shetty to die if the other was going to be away from him anyway? What does that ending accomplish? Why did the Kavya Shetty need to die and not Mayuri Kyatari since she was more morally wrong in continuing the relationship with a married guy? The ending served no purpose to the story and it raises a lot more questions that the ones I gave above. Fuck this movie in its ass.

In conclusion, don’t even try to watch this movie. This movie has nothing new to offer and whatever it did had to offer it will destroy it as it progresses. The story is boring, the supporting cast and Kavya Shetty offers nothing to the story. Terrible comedy, horrible execution. Songs were average at best. I am not touching this movie again. So, the only message I have for this movie is Fuck off you fucking piece of shit. Fuck you and don’t ever show me your scenes again. Piece of shit. Anybody having the opposite opinion can fuck off as well because this is my opinion of the movie. I hate it. I hate it to the core. Worst Kannada movie I watched as of 17 – May – 2017.
