Thoughts on Sapta Sagaradaache Ello


As someone who loves to watch the sea (trust me, I’ve even slept at midnight during the process), the very title Sapta Sagaradaache Ello, translated from Kannada as “somewhere beyond the seven seas,” intrigued me very much, which made me watch it recently, and this is a small appreciation of that beautiful piece of work.


It’s been a few years since I saw an organic romance like this. Manu and Priya are not just your regular protagonist lovebirds; instead, they lit up the screen with their dreams and hopes for their better future. A series of ups and downs with destiny playing its role through not one but two cunning men crushes all the things they ever wanted, and side A ends in the way no one expects it to be.


Side B, on the other hand, focuses on multiple things like lost love, new hope, rekindling romance, and a revenge arc where everything was dealt with near perfection. There is a scene where Manu cuts a big flex board so Priya can have more sunlight in her house, throwing back to something said by her in the first part when they did house hunting together. Man! It was beautiful. Nothing short of it.


To be honest, contradictory to the popular opinion, I believe at the end the protagonists got what they’ve loved, which they lost at the end of the first part. Priya got her music, and Manu wanted Priya to sing again. When she goes “Kadalanu Kana Horatiro” at the end, it’s just a river of our tears pouring out there.


Special appreciation should go to all those who were present as supporting characters in both these parts. There are a lot of good memorable moments there.


I believe this is what I can say without spoiling the movie if you have not watched it. Both parts are currently available for streaming on Amazon Prime. Do give it a watch! If you have already done so, pour your thoughts here in the comments.


Also, I would recommend you watch it in Kannada to understand, as it is the original language.

    Sapta Sagaradaache Ello side a and b is something that lives in my heart rent free. It is one of those few films that completely changed my life or how I perceived life. Plus also ruined my love life by setting the bar too high. Letting go is really hard, but it's an art 🍂❤️

Aviyal's Top 5 Movies of 2024

  No, no, no, no, it is never too late to make a top 5 movies of 2024 list. I am actually angry with every Tamil movie released in 2024. I mean, for the first six months there was nothing, and all of a sudden great movies came out week after week. I was legit broke at a point. Plan better, guys.  2024 was a great year for Tamil cinema. It is true that we saw duds like G.O.A.T, but on the other hand, we got really really good movies. Let’s make a top 5 list of 2024. Before getting to the list, remember that this is one person’s opinion. If you don’t see your favorite movie on the list, it doesn’t mean it is a bad movie. I just prefer these 5 movies.  Sheesh, the amount of disclaimers we have to give in 2025. Kannism ruined everything. Anyway, here’s the list: 5. Lubber Panthu Lubber Panthu came out of the syllabus. No one knew about this movie. It randomly came out one day and became one of the most successful movies of 2024. What I loved about Lubber Panthu is that every ...

Aviyal's Thoughts on Kanguva

  Here is our review with some ignorable spoilers. There is a scene where a boy cries looking at something. Another adult character comes near him and sees the boy is looking at a mother bird feeding her hatchlings, which reminds him of his dead mother. Understanding this, the adult also starts crying. If you are done cringing, let’s analyse the movie a little. The title card copied the same as Vijay in Goat but zero impact with terrible music. Cinematography is the worst at places. For example, in the same scene, when they show different characters in separate frames, the color of the forest changes. Edit cuts are terrible, as sometimes it seems like what the heck are we watching. They said the movie is made on a huge budget, and Surya is not a big hero who eats up half of the budget as salary, but still, CGI is at worst⁠ even in a scene where they toss a wine bottle. And about the crocodile scene, it was poorly shot and worked. They could’ve cut it off as it was just a filler....
