Achar and co was so beautiful. If Wes Anderson made a Kannada movie, it would be something like this. HHB was so completely new. It was like 100 short video skits stitched together. It's probably the toughest to do.

[@hey_man33]

Made in Bangalore ,Hondisi bareyiri , padavi poorva,tatsama tadbava also very well made film by debut directors sad that most of them not got appreciation as much as others

[@SHRAVAN077]

Yess sir padavi poorva, tatsama tandbava underated movie

[@gonegirl3954]

So glad to see Rukmini, Sindhu and Chaitra. Achar and Co was so beautifully done by Sindhu. A very deserving panel ❤️

[@vijaykumarmd5363]

2023 was really good for Kannada new filmmakers. DDM, HHB, and Aachar & Co were really impressive. We need more talents in our industry to provide continuous entertainment through cinema. On a lighter note, no offense to anyone, but the chemistry between Nithin and Sindhu surpassed that of many lead pairs in movies. 😅

[@friedpotatoes5575]

Love this New-Gen representation. And also love how Kannada Cinema was the first roundtable where they didn’t add the women panelist just as a sake of representation. Love to see that ☝🏽

Appreciation for Sonu for keeping this conversation lively with good questions. I could see everyone were comfortable with each other since all were from similar age group and mindset.

He is senior, doesn't belong to new comers group

[@ubermanushyan]

@@drharshatr They didn't say new tho, even for directors roundtable they brought Karan johar, Vetrimaaran and all. Having veterans in roundtable would lead to broader perspectives in talk

[@Hrith_]

No, this is apt .You have seen them often, so let the new comers make noise

[@hmmer3471]

They have given many interviews

[@adiMallya]

At 21:40, I wouldn't even say it's borderline, it IS STALKING. And personally, I thought Hemath conveyed it's morality through the lensing and shots. It made me uncomfortable to watch Manu do that. With Gopal's character calling him out for it, makes it even clear to you.

[@aadarshhanuman]

Please add subtitles. I don't understand kannada but want to watch this roundtable.

[@vinayvy1495]

Aachar and co....loved itttt..... expectations increased in next one

Is this Kannada Cinema Roundtable or a Kanglish Cinema Roundtable?

[@ubermanushyan]

They made films in Kannada that's why they are sitting in there, there is no written rule as such you should talk in Kannada all the time, it's personal preferences.

[@gonegirl3954]

Look at all the comments under south interviews asking for English subtitles and you’ll know what they talk in Kanglish. Everyone wants to listen to them, let’s not gatekeep Kannada stars to ourselves.
