Plot

The story is about a girl student who arrives at Malenadu and learns about the story of Hombanna. Hombanna was a farmer for nearly three decades and due to socio and political change the officials tried to take his land from him. He along with villagers didn't let go of their forest and land. They bravely challenged government officers. As the story proceeds, the tone becomes more severe. In order to protect their land, many villagers had to die.

Star performance

Dhanu Gowda, Shubbu Talabi and Ambujakshi played the characters of Dhanu, Hombanna and Gowdthi respectively. All the actors have delivered pretty serious performances that added depth to the movie making it more realistic. Dhanu Gowda's acting skills are authenticity as his character is quite complex and yet he manages to portray his vulnerability very cunningly. Another lead character by Shubbu Talabi and Ambujakshi are appreciated for their charm that they bring to the character. Supporting actors like Ninasam Ashwath and Chetan Chandra's acting skills enhanced the plot by adding emotional depth.

Analysis

Most of the films focus on fiction, actions. But Hombanna had a pretty unique story that focuses on conversation and preservation of the natural habitat. The film delivers a sense of connection with the natural habitat. Most of the scenes are shot in the forest, making it look more authentic. The story begins on an exciting note. However as it proceeds it turns more into a power play and loses its touch. The movie's visuals are impressive. It makes the film's meaning and message more clear. The music is melodious and brings emotions in the movie. However, the ending is quite disturbing; it, could have been better. The primary characters are well developed but sometimes the supporting cast gave a problematic performance. The love story between the protagonists is left unresolved, which becomes a disturbance throughout the film. The plot becomes predictable towards the end and the climax is gone. The blend of comedy and drama would have made it a better execution. The plot has limited vision as its main focus is on the cultural significance of the forest, which becomes boring towards the end.

What's there?

  • The film deals with an important subject, the loss of habitat of forest people due to initiation of major developmental projects.
  • The plot involves political drama
  • Songs and music are very exciting and lyrical.
  • The cinematography is real as the complete movie was shot in a forested area, which brings realism to the script.

What's not there?

  • In some scenes the background is impoverished which is quite disappointing.
  • The ending is disappointing; The person who killed the innocent and poor is still alive.
  • Overall production quality is low, which is problematic.
  • Overall, the flow of the movie is uneven as sometimes it is fast going and sometimes very slow.

Verdict

It is a must watch movie, as it draws attention of the masses towards the socio economic issues faced by tribes when they are involuntarily forced to give up their habitat and their homes for developmental projects. However, there are several setbacks of the movie but from the point of view of entertainment it is a good movie.
