Story
In a small village in Halebidu, Karnataka, the wealthy local landlord (the zamindar played by Vinod Kumar) has a prejudice against young girls.
Shantala (played by Ashlesha Thakur) is a dancing enthusiast. Zamindar eyes her unfairly. But Shantala is in love with Rajshekhar (Nihal Kodhatya).
The rest of the film is a story of how Shantala deals with these Zamindar generational issues. And how she achieves her dream of becoming a successful dancer despite the obstacles.
We have to watch Shantala to see how she overcomes challenges and reaches great heights in her dance career.
Technical Aspects
Director Sheshu Peddy Reddy tries to portray history in a straightforward manner in Shantala. However, he misses the opportunity to create a high-impact film and a strong personality.
Music director Vishal Chandrashekhar deserves credit for enhancing the film with excellent music and soundtrack. This greatly enhances the overall experience.
The quality and style of the film are positive aspects of the film. But first- and second-half adjustments could have been more dramatic and difficult.
Review
Overall, Shantala is a period social drama film that falls short in its execution and delivery.
On the positive side, Ashlesha Thakur gives an outstanding performance, and the music is very catchy and catchy. These are the major strengths of the film.
But the script lacks punch, the story is too predictable, and besides Ashley, the cast is completely unaware. These factors act as imperfections.
While Shantala has some qualities like Ashlesha’s acting and singing, the simple script, familiar plots and unfamiliar supporting cast don’t really make it an enjoyable watch.
If you explore other entertainment options, you may find it more worthwhile than watching Shantala this weekend, unless you want to watch it mainly for Ashlesha’s performances and music.
So in summary, it’s an average bill that could have been better off with a stronger script and more established cast to support the fantastic music and original performances.
