Plot

Keshava works in a foundry, and wishes to settle down. But, his situations put him in a web of politics and crime, which bring out a different inner-self of him. What are the situations he faced? How took him to an unexpected life path? All these questions are answered in Kenda.

Star Performance

Bharath replicates Keshava and impresses the audience with his natural performance. Gopalkrishna Deshpande did a decent job. Pranav Sridhar, Sachin Sreenath, Vinod, and Bindu Raxidi fit well in their roles, and are impressive.

Analysis

The film is spoken from the gangsters’ angle. It showcases their desires and experiences. The director managed to bring out the output as he desired, despite the film’s slow pace. All the characters are crafted well, and perfect artists are engaged. With the perfect performances of the stars, all the characters stand out as unique. The dialogue writer should be appreciated for sharp and impressive dialogues. Many a time, there is a silence between dialogues, which elevates the sequence. The visuals are not much impressive. The editing is decent. The BGM gels well with the screenplay and helps the makers elevate the story.

What’s There?

  • The performances of the stars are admirable
  • The characters are well-developed and the right stars are placed for each role

What’s Not There?

  • The narration is a bit slow
  • The visuals could’ve been better

Verdict

Despite its slow narration, the film manages to capture the audience’s attention. With its notable dialogues and execution, Kenda is definitely a one-time watch!
