This movie is Director's Delight , Suri has delivered a very good movie. The movie lasts 100 minutes, & a fast moving story. As the name depicts Kendasampige has a fragrance of love, crime & destiny. It's a master piece. Story telling at it's best. There are no big names in the casting, narration of the story is amazing. Hey this movie is few notches well above the recent releases. A Quality film, descent & neat story with a very good background score. What stole my attention & made me very glad was "Cinematography" . Amazing camera work. The film is shot within Karnataka & you will fall in love with the places & aerial shots by Drones are awesome. Now I am sure there would be more tourists flocking "Chitradurgada Kallina Kote". Full Paisa Vasool for watching it on a big screen with 7.1 Dolby theater & I am ready to watch Part-2 of this movie. I loved the villain of the movie, the depth in his voice is amazing. Suri & team, Very well done.

9/10..Brilliant direction, suspenseful thriller story, throughout engaging plot, natural acting, realistic screenplay, smart camera-work, fantastic background score, beautiful songs with classic lyrics...it has all the ingredients of an awesome cult movie. Lead newbie actress Manvitha surely has a bright career. Helplessness of common people amongst good and bad policemen is portrayed nicely. Aerial and time-lapse shots of Karnataka cities and highways are hallmarks in the narration . At the end, Hollywoodish style closing credits was the beauty, making you crave for the sequel Part 2, in fact prequel Part 1 - Kaage Bangara in 2016. Please don't miss and watch in theaters only.

This movie has everything, love, suspense! And the freshness of the story, cinematography. They have shown almost 4-5 districts of Karnataka(main areas of the cities), shot from the top(probably using drones, that's what i guessed). The newbies have acted so well. No useless fight scenes. And a nice creative idea of keeping the audience curious about the first part. Hope PART1 will be more exciting than this. Love the song : nenape nithya mallige. Lovely lyrics and soothing music. I don't see why people will ever miss Kannada movies if they are this good. Please do watch! Time to be proud Kannadigas!

What stands out in the movie is CLASSY cinematography, hats off to Sathya Hegde and a gripping screenplay by S.Surendranath-Rajesh Nataranga-Suri trio. Though story (written by S. Surendranath) looks simple, its screenplay that makes the movie an edge of the seat thriller. They'd made use of drone shots exceptionally well to showcase some of the beautiful city locations across Karnataka and it gives the audience a very new experience and it is first of it's kind in Kannada cinemas (if am correct). Topnotch filmmaking by Suri and easily this is his best direction so far. Had he handled the suspense(twist) plots perfectly towards the end, it'd have been even more exciting. He's somehow failed in that aspect. That's the only major drawback I could find out in the movie. New lead pair Vicky-Manvitha have acted reasonably well especially Manvitha. Not only she's cute looks, but also sweet voice. Rajesh Nataranga is at his best. Prakash Belavadi, Chandrika and Prashanth Siddi (hope he will rock in part l Kaage Bangaara) have done justices to their respective roles. Background score and music by V. Harikrishna are engaging. Thanks to Deepu S. Kumar for his sharp editing (film's total length is 98 min). Finally the film makes us curious enough to wait eagerly for it's prequel 'Kaage Bangaara'. Congrats to Suri and team for delivering us a remarkable film :)

What amazed me is how the script writer and director have packed a perfect story in just 98 minutes of screen time. You rarely get this in Indian cinema. The performances by the newbies does full justice to the story, cinematography is excellent with aerial shots of many places in Karnataka. Picturization inside Chitradurga Fort is noteworthy. Musics blends well with the subject of the movie. The movie is narrated so well that I could not notice the climax, it is as if you are living one of the character in the movie.

Good to see movies like RangiTaranga, KendaSampige being tried in Kannada cinema. Waiting to see more such flicks.

Excellent Movie Kendasampige is a 2015 Indian Kannada thriller film directed by Duniya Soori and written by Surendranath. It stars newcomers Santhosh Reva and Manvitha Harish in the lead roles, making their debuts with the film. Rajesh Nataranga, Prakash Belawadi and Chandrika feature in supporting roles. The film was released with a tag line Part II Ginimari Case, and is a sequel to Soori's forthcoming film Kaage Bangara. The plot which is centered on a couple who are framed in a case of crime and are on a run from police, exposes the nexus between the latter and the influential. Produced under the banner Parimala Film Factory, the cinematography for the film was done by Satya Hegde and was edited by Deepu S. Kumar. V. Harikrishna composed the film score and the soundtrack. The film was released on 11 September 2015 to very positive reviews from critics. They acclaimed the film's screenplay, direction, cinematography, and the acting performances of Belawadi and Nataranga.

Well Well, how intense can a movie get, to know this, you got to watch this brilliant movie called #Kendasampige.

looks like nowadays Kannada movies are telling the world that, to make good movies, there is something important than glamor,budget and stardom and that's called art of story telling.I mean anybody can make a movie with big budget, big stars and make it a super hit. To make a movie like this with minimum budget and all newbie actors, you need a genius like Soori.

If you talk about the actors, what a start these newbies got to their career. They have done a neat job for these demanding roles in the movie.

What is surprising is when Rangitaranga and uppi2 can get 4k votes and this movie has got only 328 votes? What happened to those audience? Really surprising.

I don't want to reveal anything about the storyline as such. It can be never be said in only words anyway :) In summary, Its a brilliant movie and great acting. If you are fan intense, brilliant movies, you will love this movie for sure.

Excellent movie. Don't want to reveal the plot but it sticks true to definition of thriller packed within 100 minutes. Appreciate the acting of lead pair of Manvita and Vicky. Excellent performances from Prakash and Rajesh. Cinematography by Satya Hegde is excellent (Sure should be nominated for major awards). BGM by Harikrishna keeps the mood of the movie. Screenplay by Surendranath, Suri and Rajesh are outstanding. Finally Suri, you are an ace director man. It takes conviction to invest and direct these kind of movies. There is no formula or heroism in the film but it is excellent. Have been watching the combination of you and Satya Hegde, you people rock. Excellent in all aspects.

I loved watching this movie.. Many thrillers there will be too may scenes which are too much of a coincidence. But here it was not like that , it was very natural. Well the actors did a great job. I love the fact that the simple lead actor(male) has shown his simplicity throughout in action , expression everything. Also the usage of language (Kannada) is very natural, many movies there will be too many artificial (bookish) words used for strong dialog. But here local slang is used very aptly. Also there is not too much drama involved. My most favorite part is there are no dreamy songs.The songs give a good meaning and are apt for the scenes. Many Indian films are full of dreams romantic songs which personally I do not like.

The movie is all about a murder. There are some quite moments which are good. But most of the movie lags. There are too many loopholes. But genre wise okeyish one.

I'm giving 1 star because i want to bring down the rating for this film around 6. I watched this film in theatre & when i came out i was disappointed. The story of the film is OK but the acting from protagonists is the most Amateur & horrible acting i have seen in the recent times. The Hero of movie in real life was the Driver of the Director & then had started working as Assistant to Director in some films & was chosen as Hero of this film just a day before the shooting started & his acting in the movie is below Average & the worst part in the movie is the acting of the heroine in the film which is so horrible, irritating. Even kids can do better acting than these to protagonists & only saving grace is the Supporting actors who have done a decent job in taking the story forward.

Everyone ought to watch this movie. (Subtitle is available in Orion Mall). No one can despise the STORY. New characters have brought life in it. Absolutely unique than other Indian movies.

Pros:

1)Story-line

2)New faces with explicit acting

3)Descent comedy & screenplay

4)Cannot loathe the twists

Cons:

1)Trailer (Looks like its prepared just last few minutes b4 first

show)

2)Lagged in promotion

3)Songs are not up to the mark

This was my second Kannada movie after mungarumale, after this movie watched lot of Kannada movies, this was with best screenplay and both young artists did thier job well.

Everything is different, such a beautiful narration of each character and everyone has done justice to their roles. Again and again watchable movie. Suri is a different level director with a different topics.

This was a fast paced thriller. This was supposed to be followed by a prequel, but not sure if it happened.

There was no dull moment through the film. The lead pair is unknown (when the film was shot), but they have acted very well, including the others. Corruption, greed, the innocence of youthful love - They are all captured very well.
