'Dyavre' Movie Review: Viji and Bhat make it work

Director: Gadda Viji
Cast: Yograj Bhat, Neenasum Satish, Kalpana Pandit and others
Music: Veer Samarth

With Sandalwood witnessing several 'experimental' films that have had their successful run, especially the first timers, 'Dyavre' cements hope for those who want this altercation with experimentation to continue.

One of the most successful directors of recent times - actor Yograj Bhat chose to explore his onscreen skills with the film and it has also worked out well for its debut director - Gadda Viji.

The casual mannerisms of Yograj, which suits the lead character in 'Dyavre', might be disastrous if it is repeated in future projects, though. 'Dyavre' is a 'clean' subject webbed around the life of a jailor, who is the protagonist and how he deals with the inmates. A mass jail break is the twist in the film which the audience enjoyed the most.

Barring a few scenes, Yograj has impressed all as a jailor with able support of the inmates - the roles were played by Neenasum Satish, and others. The film starts with the protagonist explaining to a TV journalist and her crew about the life of inmates.

Gadda Viji, has cleverly embedded the message of how the 'change in the system' has ruined the life of many inmates, who find it difficult to live 'outside' the jail on completing their jail term. There are other interesting elements in the film with an inmate played by Neenasum Satish, who is married to an actress. Two characters leave the audience in tears - the first is an inmate who is serving a jail term despite not being responsible for his wife's death. And another is a petty criminal who has a tragic love story. The film comes packed with tragedy and comedy.

Though the first half brings in humour, it's the second half that takes a serious turn. Another highlight is the music scored by Veer Samarth. Gadda Viji has announced himself in Sandalwood with 'Dyavre'. Expect more such experimental films in the future.
