PlotÂ
Aarav, Bhushan, and Sunil are in a fix, as they have to get back a bag of drugs worth 40 crore rupees for a gangster, Daddy. They have to do this to save Aarav’s brother Aayush. Unfortunately they are not the only ones pursuing the bags, with rival gangster Leona joining the game. Do they make it?
Star PerformancesÂ
It seems that Kannada cinema is making some strides in the right direction. Raghu Dixit, known chiefly for his independent creations as a rock artist, has surprised many with his sly demeanor throughout the movie.Â
He has been supported by Shanvi Srivastava [famous for her stint in

, Sunil Gujjar, and Naatya Ranga have ably portrayed as the trio in crisis, who have an extremely tough if not impossible target to achieve.Â
AnalysisÂ
For an industry that is slowly realizing its true potential, the Kannada film Baang is an earnest effort in the right direction. It might not be entirely out of the blue like the 2019 Telugu classic ‘Mathu Vadalra’ [made on an identical theme], but it is not dull either.Â
Making a good dark comedy is like walking a tightrope: one wrong step and the world comes crashing down. Thankfully, ‘Baang’ is not the other way round. For a newbie director, this movie is definitely an effort in the right direction. The unconventional narrative structure also makes the audience genuinely interested in the same. Long story short, ‘Baang’ manages to keep you hooked. Â
One of the notable aspects of the movie is its watertight screen time. The barely 2 hours plus runtime sets the stage for a crisp, adrenaline-pumping action flick, infused with a healthy dose of dark comedy. For a film with newbies like Raghu Dixit and Rithvik Muralidhar, 'Baang' does pack a healthy punch. Even Shanvi Srivastava makes it count in a role not very common in the Sandalwood, that of a female gangster.Â
However, the comic caper is not without its fair share of flaws. The editing looks a bit choppy, especially during the second half. For a moment, it looked as if the movie could’ve taken a different course altogether, but for an engaging climax.Â
What’s There?Â
• Slick Runtime, Engaging VisualsÂ
• Impressive BGMs, earnest efforts from the lead actorsÂ
• Both Engaging and EntertainingÂ
• Surprise Efforts from actors Shanvi Srivastava and Shraya Rao
What’s Not There?Â
• Repetitive Sequences that interrupt a smooth flow of NarrativeÂ
• Sloppy Execution that could’ve almost destroyed the 2nd halfÂ
VerdictÂ
Except for a few hiccups, 'Baang' is an entertaining roller coaster that is worth a watch. It is flawed, yet engaging in its own sweet way. Don't miss it!
