Roopanthara Movie Review : Roopanthara review: A marvellous metamorphosis

Critic's Rating: 3.5/5
Plot: In a dystopian future, an old man is held at a gun point to narrate a story to save his own life.

Review: In Roopanthara, the future is ugly and hopeless and the reason for it is the past deeds. When thugs hold a gun against an old man, he is forced to tell a story to save his own life. And he offers to tell not just one but four stories. Thus begins Roopanthara.

The first story is about a goon (Raj B Shetty). A petty squabble between the goon and a corporate employee (played by Shivamma director Jai Shankar), spirals out of control and ends tragically. The second is about a poverty-stricken old man and his wife (Somshekhar Bolegaon, Hanumakka), who visit the city to fulfil the latter’s wishes. In the third story, a beggar woman (Lekha Naidu) is falsely accused of kidnapping a child and is dragged to the police station. A new joinee young constable (Bharath GB) is dumbstruck by the way the police station works. In the last story, we meet a young adult (Anjan Bharadhwaj), who is addicted to drugs and online gaming, akin to Blue Whale. The four converge at one point by the end of the film. Are their stories intertwined?

A worm has to go through four different life cycles to become a butterfly and not all worms can become butterflies; these four stories in the film represent the same cycle. The beauty of Roopanthara is, besides the wonderful writing and dialogues, the characters in the film don’t have a name, which means they can be anyone or everyone. Powerful storytelling, combined with outstanding dialogues and stellar performances, Roopanthara is a well-knit tale that showcases the importance of metamorphosis and the role it plays in life and death. However, the biggest let down in the film is the stories don’t conclude as effectively as they should. Considering that the old man’s life depends on the story, the ending is vague and it somehow is not very convincing.


Debutant director Mithilesh Edavalath shows immense potential with his well-crafted film, combined with realistic portrayal of characters by Raj B Shetty, Lekha Naidu, Somshekhar Bolegaon, Hanumakka, Bharath GB, Gireesh Jatti among others. Lekha steals the show with no dialogues and just powerful acting. Somshekhar Bolegaon and Hanumakka as a bickering couple in love are heart-warming. Raj proudly embraces his mass avatar and has thoroughly enjoyed playing the character. His character is stuck in a conundrum of his own making and knows his way out too. But, the Roopanthara (transformation) is painful. Raj has also written the dialogues and additional screenplay, thus proving once again that he is a master story-teller. The silence in the film is equally powerful as the dialogues. Bharath GB and Gireesh Jatti have the best dialogues in the film and their segment stands out. Chaithra J Achar’s Kittale, which plays out throughout the film at various junctures, is soulful. Midhun Mukundan’s music has a trajectory of its own and seamlessly blends with the film.

Overall, Roopanthara offers a metamorphic experience, sans a bogged-down climax.

In March of this year, I found myself caught in a nightmare that no one ever expects to experience. I became a victim of fraudulent activities conducted by a Forex trading website. What started as an enticing opportunity to grow my investments rapidly turned into a devastating loss. I invested $500,000, my entire savings, based on the assurances provided by the website that promised substantial profits. They manipulated me with convincing guarantees and high-pressure tactics, which ultimately led to a complete betrayal of trust. Once the money was deposited, the website began to deny all my withdrawal requests. It was a pattern of deceit; whenever I tried to recover my funds, they came up with excuses and requests that only seemed to further entrench me in their scam. The requests ranged from the bizarre to the offensive, all designed to delay and obstruct my attempts to reclaim my money. My frustration mounted as I realized I had been deceived, and my anxiety about losing my entire financial security grew. The situation seemed dire, and the emotional toll was immense. I felt isolated and hopeless, unsure of how to navigate this complex situation or who to trust. Fortunately, after extensive research and reaching out for help, I discovered VIRTUAL FUNDS RESURRECTION. They specialize in recovering funds from such fraudulent schemes, and their reputation for success provided a glimmer of hope. The process of working with VIRTUAL FUNDS RESURRECTION was methodical and reassuring. They conducted a thorough assessment of my case and developed a strategy to reclaim the lost funds. Their expertise was evident in how they handled the situation, providing clear communication and updates throughout the recovery process. They were adept at dealing with the complexities of fraudulent transactions and had a track record of successfully recovering funds for others in similar situations. VIRTUAL FUNDS RESURRECTION, was able to recover the entire $500,000 that I had lost. Their service was professional and transparent, and they charged a 10% service fee on the recovered amount, which was well worth the cost given the magnitude of the recovery. Their support went beyond just financial recovery; they offered valuable advice and emotional support during a challenging time. Their assistance was a lifeline that allowed me to regain not just my financial stability but also a sense of hope. For anyone who finds themselves in a similar predicament, feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about how to proceed, I highly recommend reaching out to VIRTUAL FUNDS RESURRECTION. They have proven expertise in handling cases of fraud and scams, and their track record of success speaks volumes about their capabilities. They understand the nuances of these complex situations and work diligently to recover funds that might otherwise be lost forever.

4 stories- so many emotions, so many questions, so many thoughts intricately woven into one movie! The beautiful detailing in the movie adds so much essence to it!!<br/>Right from the beginning, each actor's deeply involved portrayal of their characters, the cine-matography, the dialogues, the song, the bgm every single aspect of the movie was top notch!!<br/>As the story went, our curiosity increased, our emotions got built up, so many questions to the self arised ! The story is so well written and bought into life by the entire team ! Roopanthara is the kind of movie that has an extremely deep message to give to us audiences, that is not made very often and no one should miss the opportunity of watching it in the theatres!
