ReviewDespite its shortcomings, ‘777 Charlie’ presents a strong case about the life-changing capabilities of pets, especially dogs, and how their unconditional love has helped many wade through the harshest of times.Shuklaji777 Charlie, the latest pan-India offering from Kannada cinema, is the story of unlikely companions. Throughout the story, writer Kiranraj K (also the director) enunciates this in the form of pairings that are odd and ill-fitted at first but find tender resolutions later. Dharma (Rakshit Shetty), the perennially angry, unpleasant protagonist of this story, is the common feature of most, in fact all, of these pairings and in a strange yet endearing way, the film’s gaze remains on him throughout despite him not being the hero, so to speak. Sure, he lands a few crunchy punches along the way, nests a “manly” workshop in his garage, and climbs the tallest mountains for the sake of love. But he still isn’t your run-of-the-mill hero.

SandalwoodThe film is about a mother who goes in search of her abducted daughter.Aravind ShwethaThe glorification of mother’s love as immeasurable and incomparable has found its place in hundreds of films. Devaki takes this route but within the premise of a child abduction case. In their previous outing, multi-lingual actor Priyanka Upendra and director Lohith had delivered a horror thriller, Mummy. This time, they have collaborated for a thriller without the supernatural, but have assured the same edge-of-the-seat experience, set and shot completely in Kolkata. The storyline is exactly what can be interpreted from the trailer – a mother desperately looking for her missing daughter.
