Description: Seetharam Benoy is a 2022 crime thriller set in the Malnad region. The story revolves around a dedicated police officer, Seetharam Benoy, portrayed by Vijay Raghavendra, who is transferred from Haveri to the notorious Anegadde police station in Shivamogga. His mission is to apprehend criminals involved in a series of burglaries and murders that have plagued the area. Known for his relentless pursuit of justice, Seetharam is determined to bring the culprits to justice. However, the plot takes a dramatic turn when his wife is tragically murdered.
The film follows a straightforward narrative, focusing on a limited number of main characters. While it delivers moments of tension and intrigue, it struggles to fully engage the audience throughout. Vijay Raghavendra delivers a strong performance, especially notable as this marks his 50th film in the Kannada film industry. Despite his commendable acting, the storyline could have been more tightly woven to create the gripping, edge-of-the-seat experience it aimed for. Overall, Seetharam Benoy offers an interesting crime thriller experience but falls short in sustaining viewer engagement.
