Kapati Kannada movie review , songs , trailer

Kapati is a gripping psychological thriller that delves into the dark and sinister world of the darknet. The story revolves around Priya (played by Sukrutha Wagle), a renowned costume designer who is grappling with personal tragedies. Her once-happy family is now marred by sorrow after a freak accident leaves her brother, Amit, paralyzed and her father, a retired national-level cricketer, battling alcoholism. The house, once filled with joy, now echoes with eerie silence.  Amidst this turmoil, two intruders, Chakri (played by Sathvik Krishnan) and Suman (played by Dev Devaiah), infiltrate Priya's home. Chakri, a small-time car thief, and Suman, a nurse practitioner recently returned from the US, are drawn into the dark web's shadowy corners. They set up a base in Priya's storage room, streaming disturbing content for profit. While Suman is hesitant to escalate their activities, Chakri's greed pushes him to take their sinister game to dangerous levels. The narrative unfolds as Priya discovers their presence and fights to survive the horrors plotted from within her own home.

Sukrutha Wagle makes a commendable directorial debut with Kapati. Her ability to weave a chilling narrative around the dark web—a relatively unexplored theme in Kannada cinema—is noteworthy. The film's claustrophobic setting and eerie atmosphere effectively heighten the tension. The screenplay, co-written by Sukrutha Wagle, is engaging and thought-provoking. It peels back layers of deception and suspense, keeping the audience invested. The dialogues are impactful, and the narrative effectively balances psychological depth with thrilling elements. However, some logical inconsistencies in the plot slightly detract from the overall experience.  The music, composed by Johan Shevanesh, is a standout feature of the film. The haunting background score amplifies the suspense and complements the film's dark themes. The cinematography by Sathish Rajendran captures the eerie ambiance of the house, adding to the film's immersive experience.  

The film highlights how technology, while beneficial, can also be a tool for exploitation and harm. Priya's journey underscores the importance of courage and determination in overcoming challenges. The characters' actions and motivations reflect the multifaceted nature of human behavior. The film serves as a cautionary tale about the hidden dangers of the internet and the need for vigilance.
