Description: The 2022 Kannada film *Ek Love Ya*, directed by Prem, explores the complexities of a love-hate relationship among young individuals, interwoven with themes of parent-child relationships. The film stands out due to its fresh cast, including newcomers Raanna and Reeshma Nanaiah, who bring a sense of curiosity to the storyline. The narrative revolves around a tale of true love that endures challenges such as separation and sacrifice.
The story begins at a college graduation event, introducing Amar (Raanna), a high-achieving student fulfilling his father Shankar’s (Shashikumar) dream of becoming a lawyer. Despite his academic success, Amar is portrayed as a chain-smoking alcoholic who is determined to find his childhood lover, Anitha, with the intent to harm her. The antagonists, Arjun Gowda and Yash Shetty, play minor roles in the plot.
The film’s strengths lie in its music by Arjun Janya and cinematography by Mahendra Simha, complemented by melodious songs and visually stunning scenes. The stunt choreography also adds creativity to the action sequences. With picturesque locations and vibrant visuals, *Ek Love Ya* showcases high production quality. However, the film’s runtime could have been more concise, though its romantic drama with an unexpected twist makes it worth watching once.
On the acting front, Prem effectively draws genuine emotions from Raanna and Reeshma Nanaiah. Raanna handles his demanding role with skill, while Reeshma delivers a captivating performance, justifying her character. Their on-screen chemistry is the film’s heart. Senior actors like Charan Raj, Shashikumar, and Suchendra Prasad add depth to the story with their compelling performances. Despite a few scenes needing improvement, *Ek Love Ya* remains an engaging romantic drama.
