An offbeat movie with 5 villians

The Kannada film Jwalantham, directed by debutant Ambarish BM and starring Jwala, Deepthi Kapse and Deepa Gowda, has been making waves ever since its cryptic trailer was released online. The film, with a Sanskrit title and a unique storyline, is offbeat and aims to capture the audience's imagination, claims the director. As the film produced by Divine Movies releases today, Ambarish lists five reasons that will make it an interesting watch'
Ocean as a character
Over 70% of the film was shot on the beaches of Honnovar and Ankola, because in the script, the ocean and its mighty waves are characters.While the seaside weather conditions made it challenging to shoot many important and intense scenes, the locales, along with crisp cinematography, make the film visually appealing. close to reality: To bring in authenticity to the film, a lot of scenes that required us to show the actors going through a rough time have been captured in real time ' waves washing over the hero while he was dug neck-deep in sand, threats from wild animals, maggots and other insects, and suffering from adverse weather conditions are a few instances.
Socially relevant
walantham delves deep into the issue of farmers migrating from their villages to other villages, towns and even cities in search of better job opportunities, mostly as daily labourers. The film captures the hardships they face in the hands of their new employers who take advantage of their plight by exploiting and mistreating them.
Five unique villains
The film has not one, not two but five villains. Each of them is unique in his own way, with the only thing common being that they are all uncivilized, socially-outcast beings who heavily abuse drugs and other narcotic substances. Their look and voices are different, their body language is different and each of them carries a unique weapon.
A fresh perspective
The film marks the debut of not just the director and two of the lead actors, but also the producer, VFX artists, music directors and many other technicians. Although this is the first film for over 80% of the cast and crew, as claimed by the director, each of them come with a bundle of experience in their respective fields, offering a very fresh perspective to the audience.
