ReviewDebutant director Sagar Puranik keeps things intentionally simple and unembellished, yet ensuring that the narrative is crisp in terms of both writing and runtime.ShuklajiAnand AudioIn Sagar Puranik’s Dollu, art isn’t just an expression but also an instrument of cultural change. At first glance, the film is a vocal supporter of Dollu Kunitha, a vibrant but waning Karnataka folk tradition that involves bombastic drumbeats, dance and devotion in perfect synergy. But when looked at closely, it is also an overarching take on the conflicted nature of artforms and traditions in India, and how they have always lacked inclusivity. Bhadra (Karthik Mahesh) has inherited Dollu Kunitha from his father in all its sanctity. For the latter, the artform is never a means to make money but a whole-hearted submission to the almighty, so when his son tries to combine both, the result is disappointment and fury. But Bhadra’s...
