In films with adventurous subjects, an audience needs to believe in the world which is trying to make a filmmaker. If you fix the argument behind it, you cannot see what the director is wanting to say. What is the possibility of the soul of an unborn child’s soul that is happening in the body of a beggar (Essayed by Atharva Prakash), who then decides to find his parents? Nil, right? Well, this is the one-line of the latest film of Satya Prakash, X & y.

A little earlier, Satya Prakash introduced the hero cred (truth), who runs an auto ambulance. Satya Prakash, who mostly preferred to be behind the camera as a director, is quite fun to see in his first lead role. He portrays a free-covered, kind man, who does not make fun of a self-heritage when a matchmaker insults his little stature by comparing with Amitabh Bachchan.
X & Y (Kannada)
Direction: D Satya Prakash
Mold: D Satya Prakash, Binda Acharya, Atharva Prakash, Beautiful Veena
Runtime: 108 minutes
Story: An eager unborn soul, desperate to experience life, begs him to send him to earth with the manufacturer. He should find his future parents and ensure their union
Humor keeps the first half alive. Cred helps the needy to reach the hospital on time, and in a scene, he manages to create a terminal-EL female smile. Disappointed with her fate, she shouts to take her to a cemetery at the truth, only to demand an additional price in an light vein, while parrying the Bengaluru auto drivers.
The film has an interesting view grammar. For example, the sequence that introduces us to the female lead of the film, Kripa (Binda Acharya). Her wedding jewelry is replaced by chains and dumbbells, which reflects the mental load of marriage against your desires. For most parts, the film is happily lighter on its feet, with a vibrant view of some songs enhancing the tone.

Unborn baby, jeeva, almost resembles a robot with emotions (eg in the mind Thiran), Decides that Kripa and Crade will be his parents. Now, he needs to ensure that they fall in love and end together. Satya Prakash stumbles the filmmaker when he keeps his film in this direction. We feel like watching two separate films, as the spotlight transforms from credde to a creep, which develops a maternal bond with innocent Jeeva.
During an argument, Crade says that he demanded respect from his father and convicted Kripa for not speaking with his mother. This scene reveals Satya’s intentions with the film.
Satya Prakash takes a straight route to address these dynamics. From a blind attractive film, X & y Talky and preaching are formed, as the characters come and settle so that the director can insist on his point.
