The Unexpected Star of Kannada Cinema
Raj B Shetty’s ‘Su From So’ has unexpectedly turned into the cinematic equivalent of finding a 10 rupee note in an old jacket. Who knew a mix of comedy, supernatural shenanigans, and a sprinkling of social commentary could elevate a film into the illustrious Rs 100 crore club? Apparently, it’s a thing now.
A Box Office Surprise
In the latest update from trade analyst Sacnilk, this underdog has raked in Rs 77.86 crore net in India and an impressive Rs 14.15 crore overseas, bringing its global earnings to a staggering Rs 105 crore—all in just 24 days! Not bad for a film birthed from a budget of merely Rs 6 crore. While major blockbusters like ‘Kingdom’ and ‘Ace’ loom large, our unassuming Kannada hero continues to attract audiences like a moth to a flame. Who said competition was fierce? Maybe it’s more like a game of rock-paper-scissors.
A Plot Twist Worth a Whirl
‘Su From So’ features a delightful blend of humor and supernatural elements that could make even the most jaded film critic chuckle. It revolves around a man possessed by the female spirit Sulochana. Yes, you read that right—a guy shares his thoughts, feelings, and maybe even his Netflix account with an ethereal guest. The film takes a candid look at societal issues like misogyny and male ego. Who knew ghost stories could get this philosophical? Next, they’ll be discussing Kant over coffee.
The Audience Can’t Get Enough
Reviews on social media have been more enthusiastic than a toddler at a candy store. Viewers have praised its ability to merge comedy and horror in a way that feels almost…breathable? The film has struck a chord with audiences from Udupi and Mangalore, who have described it as an “absolute laughter carnage.” Clearly, this is no ordinary trip to the cinema; it’s a grassroots revolution with popcorn.
Behind the Scenes Shenanigans
Directed by JP Thuminad, who doubles up as one of the characters, one can only imagine the hilarity on set. The ensemble cast includes Shaneel Gautham, Raj B Shetty, Sandhya Arakere, and others who seem to have perfected the art of comedic timing. The music, composed by Sumedh K, undoubtedly complements the film’s atmosphere—perfect for those moments when the audience might just need a little extra motivation to laugh out loud.
Bold Financing Decisions
Backed by Shashidhar Shetty Baroda, Ravi Rai Kalasa, and Raj B Shetty, one can only wonder how they managed to create such an engaging film on a shoestring budget. Perhaps they discovered some ancient money-saving hacks along the way? If so, I hope they share their secrets—my bank account could use a boost as well!
