Lucia - A feather in the cap in the Kannada films
Last night, I was not getting sleep which made me look out for my favorite pass-time i.e. movies. I never knew the movie I saw (Lucia) would inspire me to blog at this time of the day or rather night :) (yeah it is 4am IST now). I started thinking what is it about the movie that I loved. Was it the spiritual connection or the science fiction? Yes it starts with a spiritual phrase from Kanaka dasa's poem.....is that what made me write about it? Could be one of those factors...but let me tell you, this movie has gone way beyond any body's imagination.

Isn't it so facinating to co-relate a movie theme based on this illusion as spoken by a poet whom we worship in Kannada literature?
The really fascinating thing about this movie is the way it is being directed. It just made me feel like want more of it. When I read the Geetha or Sai Satcharitra everytime, I get something new to learn out of it. It makes me feel like I am churning the curd for more butter and I do get it each time for sure. This movie made me feel the same.
Damn I regret for not having seen this movie long time back....it was released in 2013. A movie that is completely local and it can give run for the money for any language sci-fi drama. Shouldn't we be proud of it, to see such a masterpiece in Kannada? I am.
The best part of the movie is it keeps you guessing whether the rich actor Nikhil is dreaming about being a theater torch guy or the other way round. I think the drug named Lucia is still hallucinating me and dream (guess what maybe lucid dream) about it. A concept so aptly made it makes you feel like watching it again...just to make sure you got every glimpse of it once again.
Hats off to the director Pawan Kumar who made this low budget movie (believe me it costed 51 lakh rupees) with the help of crowd funds gathered thru social media campaign. This movie has made Kannada film industry proud.
Waiting for his next film release 'U turn'!!!

Are you within an illusion? or Is the illusion within you?
Are you in the body? Or is the body a part of you?
