After seeing Charlie 777 , I did a silent prayer. Please make this film beat the RRR - KGF's and Vikram at the box office. Let the movie Moghuls know that it is not crores and the guns blazing or lavishly mounted sets alone that can give you a theater experience. A simple story and a producer who believes that audience will respond to a subject that actually offers you avenue to do self reflection of your life and the crazy way it is being lived - this is all it needs. I don't know Charlie might sink or sunk at the Box office but to me after a very long time, I am fully satisfied of seeing a film that gives you a movie going experience.
Once bitten twice shy was my approach to Charlie. For having seen a pet dog subject produced by Suriya - Jothika banner and with Arun Vijay and clan in the cast around this time last year, I was not in a mood to see a story on a pet dog - master. I had no clue on Rakshit Shetty either. I even giggled on reading that Charlie was a Pan Indian film. Add to top it I thought it as a Kannada film maker thinking that he has a KGF in hand.
Screenplay is just brilliant. The emotional pitch just builds up slowly and grips you. As you reach the climax you are emotionally drained. Director Kiranraj keeps the focus on the dog Charlie and Rakshit Shetty is the supporting actor and hats off to this actor. Two technicians- Aravind Kashyap 's camerawork and Nobin Paul music lifts the subject to a higher level. Bangalore city in monsoon is beautifully captured. The scene where world of a recluse - violent man comes crashing down at the vets clinic and the climax were Charlie tells through her body language - thank you master , will stay with me for a long time.
