My brother is a learner of the Kannada language. I have love towards films beyond language. So, our interests came together and we searched for the best Kannada films around now. Then, we found Dia on Prime Video. The trailer was quite interesting. So, I decided to watch. Also, expect some other Kannada, Malayalam and Tamil movie reviews in the next 3-4 days. Make note that I have no exposure to spoilers for this film. How the film turned out to be. Let us find out.
Dia is a 2020 Kannada romantic drama starring Kushi, Pruthvi Amber and Deekshith in leading roles directed by K.S. Ashoka.
The story revolves around Dia Swaroop, an introvert whose routine life turns around with arrival of Rohit. But, when this story abruptly comes to an end Adi comes to Dia's life and how it changes her life for ever is the rest of the story.
The one word I would describe for this screenplay is mature despite some flaws. There are a number of clichés used in this film. The usual accident scene, the love scene, the coming back to life scene etc. The climax of the film too leaves a sour taste. It comes out of nowhere and leaves me thinking. But, these setbacks are overshadowed by its biggest strength, the heart. The relation between Dia and Rohit, Dia and Adi and Adi and his mother are so well constructed that when drastic events take place they leave you teary-eyed. The writer shows the clash of two ideologies in two lines which are "Life is full of problems and pain" and "Life is full of miracles and surprises". The film does a great job balancing this clash well and we understand it to the fullest.
The acting is very well done. Kushi as Dia is the star performer of this film. She is a heartthrob in the first 15 minutes. But, after that her acting takes over as she is given a meaty role to perform and she delivers with ease. Prudhvi Amber as Adi is very good as his ideology shows in his face and his gentle nature wants us to be friends with him. Pavithra Lokesh as Dr. Lakshmi gives a very good performance and in the end, she leaves you in tears. Deekshith as Rohit is very charming in his smaller portion. His expressions talk more than his dialogue.
The technical aspects need to be mentioned. B.Ajaneesh Loknath best known to us for his work in 'Kirik Party' gives a very well realised and soothing BGM for this film. It elevates some of the scenes in the film. The editing of the film is fast paced. We never feel the length of the film which is 2hr and 17min. The cinematography is very well done. Especially, some of the frames depicting nervousness or the nature scenes brings depth to the scene.
Overall, Dia is the best love story I've seen in a long time. Although, the ending comes out of nowhere, the heart of the film is in the right place which makes Dia a very good watch. I recommend this to hardcore love story lovers, hardcore film lovers and Kannada film lovers. Love birds can easily relate to this film.
