Description: Natasaarvabhowma, a 2019 Kannada film, tells the story of Gagan Dixit, an investigative journalist who relocates from Kolkata to Bengaluru on a transfer. In his search for someone, he befriends a central minister, moves into a house rumored to be haunted, and captures the heart of a young executive at a mobile company. Just as life appears to settle, he becomes entangled in supernatural occurrences. What unfolds is a mystery that keeps viewers guessing.
The film marks the second collaboration between Puneeth Rajkumar and director Pavan Wadeyar. Initially teased as a masala entertainer, the trailer later revealed a supernatural twist. While the movie incorporates classic masala elements, it also introduces unexpected supernatural dimensions and twists. The story begins dramatically, with the protagonist impressing his new office with his investigative skills. Soon after, he encounters supernatural phenomena, raising questions about his mission and the person he is searching for.
Though the film promises to showcase Puneeth Rajkumar in a new genre, the narrative occasionally feels loosely structured, with pacing issues that detract from its potential. It features ample action, catering to fans, and includes two romantic subplots, one of which takes precedence. The underlying humor throughout the story is a highlight, adding to its appeal.
Natasaarvabhowma offers a blend of drama, romance, and supernatural elements, making it an intriguing watch despite its occasional flaws.
