Easy to watch, great music and acting
vishal-singh198027 September 2023
Can't believe it's a movie by new comers. Acting is so polished of all the lead actors in the movie. Two songs of the movie have to go on to win atleast one award. Background music is good and strot telling and scenes are nice. Tales of Mahanagara is a good work by the new comers in Kannada industry. Hope they go long way. Movie promised more and could have become a hit had it not missed little things like using some superstar for a cameo. Hence giving 9 out of 10 ratings. One never realizes how soon this 2 hour movie ends and hence have to say it's a good timepass movie. Must watch. Waiting for OTT.

One of the best Kannada movie in the recent times
sushmavek27 September 2023
Tales of Mahanagara is one the finest kannada movie in the recent times. Everyone has done justice in their respective department. The story and screenplay is the highlight of the film and the climax is one of the best in the Kannada films. Special mention to atharv who has written the script and acted as Manu, the cab driver. Music is commendable and has created magic. Cinematography is excellent. Director has crafted the film so well, it was a surprise for me seeing a new comer doing such good direction. It doesn't feel like it a movie done by new comers in all the field, be it direction, acting, editing, cinematography. All the very best to the entire team. Waiting for such movies to arise in kannnada film industry.

Family Entertainer
sujithsinghb27 September 2023
Good movie to watch with family, it has a lot of action and thrilling scenes. As the movie was made by new actors and directors the effort is appreciated. It was a fun watch with family and friends as there were some cast around our own society who did a good job. The camera work on some action scenes and background music was enjoyable. There were no scenes which would be embarrassing to watch with kids so the movie is an enjoyable one. Recommend watching the movie over a weekend along with friends and family for a good experience and to encourage the local community we all reside in. Overall a great experience.

The film takes you to the life of people in bangalore. Every artist have put their at most effort in bringing out the movie in its way .. The story line is awesome Screen play is good. All over a very gud entertainers.

Atharv vijay it is it's first movie. But does seem like. He has good acting skills. Ramola was too gud in her execution. The director has a different way of showcasing the whole movie. A mixture of story with a final suspense twist in the end. I would suggest all of u to watch the movie in theaters and support the whole team.

Worth the watch
raghavamal27 September 2023
It is a very fresh approach to filmography. It was a good watch. The dialogues, the art, the direction everything. Would definitely recommend yo watch it. The actors did a nice job playing their respective characters and the cinematography was also pretty amazing. All in all a great movie. From the very first scene, it was evident that Rajeev Kiran Vaneil possesses an exceptional understanding of the art of storytelling. Their ability to weave together various elements, such as cinematography, music, and dialogue, created a mesmerizing and immersive experience for the audience. Do give it a watch and see for yourself.

Worth watching
sanandnsr27 September 2023
As a movie freak, I watched the movie without any expectations but the movie was just awesome.

The director, hero and heroine and most of the crew are new to the industry but you will never feel that while watching.

The characters of the three stories have different problems and Atharv and Ramola carried the movie through out and the movie has mystery, drama and suspense. Siddhartha Parashar's music is good. Also, the movie has a lot of twist and turns which was narrated very good by the director.

To be short a worth watching movie with good script and good messages and offcourse a family entertainer.

Good movie with promising new comers
swathibeautyparlour27 September 2023
Doesn't look like movie from new comers. Tales of Mahanagara stands out for Direction, acting, music. Music is the heart of the movie. "Idu Bengaluru Kannana" is the song of the year and "Arrere" is just awesome. Sothe performance of the lead characters Atharv, Ramola, RJ Anoopa and the stalwart of the performances by Sampath Maitreya. Background score esp the two songs do not bore you no matter how many times you listen to them. Story is decent and could have been better but nonetheless a good effort. Wishing a long and successful career to all new comers in this movie. Kannada industry needs movies and artists.

A heartfelt tale of love ❤ "Tales of Mahanagara"
chandanapr-4298927 September 2023
It is a heartwarming love story brought to life by a fresh ensemble of new talents both in front and behind the camera. The film showcase the raw passion and creativity of emerging artists in the industry.

The story revolves around the budding romance between the lead characters. Atharv, in his debut role, delivers a noteworthy performance. Supporting cast contribute commendable performance.

One of the standout aspects of the film is it's cinematography. While it may not boast a big budget/star studded cast the storyline, performance and impressive technical elements make a delightful watch.😊

Nice movie
theRavandur22 September 2023
The film offers a captivating glimpse into the lives of people in Bangalore, and under the direction of Kiran, even though it's his debut film, it brings a unique perspective to the screen. Each member of the cast and crew has poured their utmost dedication into bringing this cinematic experience to life. The storyline is truly captivating, and the screenplay is well-crafted. In summary, it's a highly enjoyable entertainment.

Atharv Vijay, in his debut role, impresses with his acting skills, while Ramola shines in her execution of the character. Kiran, the director, has taken a distinctive approach to presenting the entire film, blending a compelling narrative with a surprising twist at the end. I strongly recommend watching this movie in theaters to show your support for the entire team.

Amazing movie with all the elements
chandykumarmy27 September 2023
I'm writing the review for the first time and this movie made me to do this. Went to the theatre without any expectations and it blew my mind. Can never tell that this movie is made by newcomers. I'm very sure that this team will be of a great asset to the kannada film industry. First of all kudos to the whole. From acting to direction and from music to camerawork everything is done so well. I would request people of Karnataka to support such new talents. Only if we encourage these talents we could expect more from this team. I can assure you that this movie won't disappoint anyone. Please support this movie.

An honest attempt to entertain
visbsing27 September 2023
Movie "Tales of Mahanagara" keeps you occupied and it feels just an hour and a half as the movie goes at nice pace. Music is very fresh and one can easily say the two songs would have been smash hits had they been in a movie of Superstars like Yash, Shivanna Or Sudeep. To think that this is afrom new comers wrt music director, director, lead characters and technicians is good good effort, nonetheless. Hope more new comers with talent are unearthed and Kannada industry goes a long way. Teaser in Kiccha Sudeepa's voice was also good. Sampath Maitreya stands out despite two good performance from male and female lead.

Watch the movie. The first step in writing the review is to watch the movie. ... Evaluate the movie. Most movie reviewers will give their opinion of the movie. ... Who is your audience? You need to consider who your audience will be. ... Actors. ... Structure. ... Cinematography and lighting. ... Music. ... Proofread.

The film is a worthwhile watch. On a scale from zero to five, I give this film a five. The film literally brought tears to my eyes. I highly/strongly/definitely recommend the film.

Amazing movie

The story is great 👍.. very well written which connects to the audience though they are not adapted to the latest generation... coz the story builds up with a normal Cab driver life and other two stories stitch to each other, which engages the audience until end of the movie. The highlights of the movie is background score and the camera angles.. thay are really amazing!!!!!!! Especially the screenplay is really engaging which creates interest in every moment... Very decent love story which connects to the younger generation... Really hat's off to the director and the team for the overall movie making.. It's a Great show ... 'TALES OF MAHANAGARA'.. The concept of the movie which tried to apply from the Mahabharata is remarkable.. Chakravyuha and the role of Krishna as Vasu is great 👍 thank you for the great entertainment team,👋👋👋👋All the best 👍

An amazing film whatsoever. The location and appointing of cast was absolutely pitch perfectly. The actors, singers and even the seconds leads did and amazing job I must say. The movie looked extremely professional with no hints of unprofessionalism or cheesiness. The visual and sounds effects were spot on kept the viewers on the edge of their seats. The drone shots were captured perfectly and the viewers received and could see a very new side of the spectacular city of banglore. The actors need to be provided and standing ovation for a magnificent performance. This was probably the best kannada movie I've ever seen and will remain to be the best. Hats off to all the actors, the director, producer, sound team, editors and voice actors. An amazing theatre movie overall.

A Director's Fresh Take on Storytelling
rickyrickin15 September 2023
As a movie enthusiast, I am always on the lookout for fresh and innovative storytelling. Recently, I had the pleasure of experiencing the directorial debut of Rajeev Kiran Vaneil through their captivating film. I must say, it was an absolute delight to witness the birth of a talented director and his unique vision.

From the very first scene, it was evident that Rajeev Kiran Vaneil possesses an exceptional understanding of the art of storytelling. Their ability to weave together various elements, such as cinematography, music, and dialogue, created a mesmerizing and immersive experience for the audience.

I highly recommend the film to anyone seeking a refreshing and thought-provoking cinematic experience.

Bravo, Rajeev!! You have truly made your mark in the world of filmmaking, and I cannot wait to see what you have in store for us next.

Tales of Mahanagara movie review
gmcgopal22 September 2023
Tales of Mahanagara is worth watching. Tales of Two Cities by Charles Dickens of Victorian era deals with two places , Tales of Mahanagara deals with two groups. Influential politician, greedy police and a unscrupulous scientist all with ulterior motive as first group and the second group is a time bound call girl, jilted husband , taxi driver with his love and a few unfortunate prisoners ( all orphans) brought under one roof in an inevitable and unavoidable situation. The first group is trying to kill them to cover up and hide their wrong doings. The orphans show their magnanimity, humanity and their togetherness while escaping but not without a price ( Sidda). Finally good wins over evil . Thanks to Samaritan police.

The story , acting , music , cinematography,direction , editing are all of high standard and realistic. The efforts of all debut artists are commendable.

The film provides a captivating window into the daily lives of the people of Bangalore. In this debut film by director Kiran, there's a distinct and refreshing approach that sets it apart. The entire cast and crew have poured their hearts and souls into creating this cinematic experience. The storyline is truly engaging, and the screenplay is skillfully crafted, making it a thoroughly enjoyable entertainment.

In his first-ever film, Atharv Vijay demonstrates impressive acting skills, and Ramola delivers an exceptional performance. Kiran, the director, has taken a unique route in presenting the film, blending a compelling narrative with a surprising twist at the end. I wholeheartedly recommend experiencing this movie in theaters to show your support for the entire team.

I extend my best wishes to Kiran and the entire crew and hope for their resounding success.
