middle

simple

As
every

show
unconditional
love
as
he

a

After

His

Cast
Performance:
It
needs
great
strength
and
bold
effort
to
play
the
role
of
a
transgender
in
a
movie
and
Sanchari
Vijay
has
nailed
it
in
each
and
every
frame.
Naanu
Avanalla
Avalu
will
remain
as
the
benchmark
movie
of
Sanchari
Vijay.
Along
with
Vijay,
the
movie
also
effectively
shows
us
the
changes
brought
in
the
perspectives
of
film
making
in
Kannada
film
industry.
Other
characters
Sumithra
and
Sundar
steal
the
show
as
best
supporting
characters.
Technical
Aspects:
62nd
National
Award
winning
movie
Naanu
Avanalla
Avalu
is
based
on
the
autobiography
of
a
transgender,
'I
am
Vidya'.
Vidhya
is
a
theatre
artiste
and
also
owns
her
own
NGO,
she
is
well
known
as
'Smile
Vidhya'.
Even
though
Naanu
Avanalla
Avalu
is
not
penned
by
BS
Lingadevru,
the
captain
of
the
ship
has
done
a
brilliant
job
by
writing
the
best
screenplay,
which
occupies
the
viewers.
Cinematographer
Ashok
V
Raman
and
makeup
man
Raju
and
Nagaraju
need
appreciations
for
giving
their
best.
Music:
Anoop
Seelin's
music
is
yet
another
major
heartrending
factor
for
Naanu
Avanalla
Avalu
which
directly
portrays
the
message
and
connects
to
the
viewers.
Along
with
meaningful
composition,
Anoop
himself
has
lent
his
voice
for
the
soothing
and
heart-touching
songs
of
this
well
appreciated
movie.
Verdict:
Naanu
Avanalla
Avalu
is
a
must
watch.
A
very
rare
movie
by
Kannada
director
BS
Lingadevaru
which
is
emotional,
yet
educational
and
enlightens
the
minds
of
society
about
many
Madeshas'
who
have
evolved
themselves
as
'Vidya'.
