Pancharangi

Time spent wisely is one such great wealth which you can’t lose by theft or treachery. But it is wise not to meddle with and ponder over time – coz it’s a complex thing. So “just relax and move on” is my epithet to deal with time. And the “relax” part is mostly bagged by the movies that I watch and comprehend to madly search meaning in them.

My attitude towards new Kannada movies had changed long ago when every movie that released came out with pin to pin identical story lines and enough weaponry display to put even the Indian army to shame. And not to mention the pathetic state of some songs which are a mere attempt to group some random rhyming words, give some beats and call it a composition. But new winds have arrived however to keep up the respect of the industry. The combination of Jayanth Kaykini’s composition and Sonu Nigham’s voice have proven to be timeless hits bagging repeat broadcasts over the fm radio.

It is my notion that people take delight in watching movies that touch their way of thinking and their life situations. Saw the movie “Pancharangi” a few days back on TV and am impressed so much that the dialogues are still ringing in my ears. Director Yograj Bhat and actor Diganth deserve a standing ovation for their outstanding work.

Simple dialogues woven with profundity of truth, a very different storyline and a flabbergasting climax are all the elements that made the ocean of my heart roar and recede several times with joy! Pancharangi( five colors) is all about adding colors to this short span of the journey called life and look for a meaning if you are keen on it.

Movies of that kind are a rare treat.

They seem to teach us a thing or two…

Lifeu ishtene! ( There is not much to life!)

PS: Go watch the movie for yourself if you have'nt done it and watch it again if you have already done it!
