ReviewUltimately, 19.20.21 is also about hope — that truth will prevail, and that cooked-up stories might unravel in court. It is an important film for Kannada, for it speaks truth to power.YouTube/TSeriesA group of tribal people speaks about how a road to their hamlet will ensure they can see their children, who study in the town and stay in hostels, more often.
