In Chandrajith Belliappa’s Ibbani Tabbida Ileyali (When the Dewdrops Embraced the Earth), produced by Rakshit’s Paramvah Studios, the build-up to the movie’s first main battle occurs within the opening stretch. With a rousing marriage ceremony music and tense drama that unfolds later, Chandrajith proves that his debut characteristic is a noteworthy effort.

The define of the movie’s story is as previous because the hills. A typical ‘indignant younger man’ falls in love with a quiet woman earlier than circumstances separate them. Can they transfer on? Why is it troublesome to let go of your previous? Chandrajith’s triumph lies in answering these questions with an individualistic type.

Ibbani Tabbida Ileyali isn’t your conventional relationship drama because the love story in a dream-like world. The visible remedy of the movie is deliberate, and the director needs his frames to appear like fantastically wrapped presents. Even when the plot shifts to Goa, Chandrajith and his cinematographer, Srivathsan Selvaraj, depict the serene aspect of a metropolis recognized for trance music and events.

The movie’s tempo is intentional as properly. With refreshing music from Gagan Baderia, you heat as much as the story of Siddharth, a gifted cricketer born to a wealthy businessman, and Anahita, a author and poet. In the course of a dialog with Siddharth, Anahita breaks right into a dance. In one other lovely episode, Siddharth, struggling to return to phrases together with his life with out Anahita, finds solace in a candy and nostalgic story narrated by his driver. 

One other movie would have hesitated to interrupt the movie’s stream with these sorts of components, however Chandrajith needs to current a magical love story. That doesn’t imply his ideas aren’t fashionable. As an example, take the scene during which Siddharth tries to courtroom Anahita. She is fast to inform him that his pushy nature makes him uncomfortable. 

In one other small but great scene, she corrects Siddharth, who thinks she is carrying inexperienced. “It’s turquoise and never inexperienced,” she tells him. For somebody who loves the great thing about phrases, each element issues. On this method, Ibbani Tabbida Ileyali strongly establishes the characters of its lead pair. The 2 are on completely different tracks; whereas Siddharth is uncertain of what he needs, Anahita is at peace with every part round her.

The issue, nevertheless, is that we see the movie as tales of two completely different individuals who by no means meet a standard level. There’s hardly any battle between the couple for us to fret in regards to the final result of the connection. In a superbly-staged scene on a wet day, we sense Anahita falling for Siddharth. However earlier than we all know if they may forge an excellent bond, the movie cuts brief their journey for causes not as robust because the director believes them to be.

It’s considerable that Chandrajith doesn’t embody bits to please each part of the viewers. This love story includes the wealthy and well-known, as seen in a Karan Johar or a Gautam Vasudev Menon movie; however the challenge, nevertheless, is within the remaining act of Ibbani Tabidda Ileyali, after we discover it powerful to narrate to the characters’ feelings.

Ibbani Tabidda Ileyali, primarily based on a narrative written by Chandrajith on his weblog way back, appears like studying a e-book with a continuing presence of voice-overs and characters narrating their emotions by means of poems. If solely the author in Chandrajith had put a few of their ideas into phrases and amplified the drama, the movie would have emotionally resonated with the viewers, because it did within the preliminary parts.

Nonetheless, regardless of its flaws, the movie is rarely unwatchable, because of its performers. Vihan is earnest, whereas Ankita Amar sinks her tooth into a fancy character with aplomb. Mayuri Nataraja, taking part in a girl torn between her emotions for a person who nonetheless cares for an additional girl and being somebody comfy with herself, is good, bringing in a way of poignancy on the display. Girija Shettar’s swish presence is the icing on the cake. Ibbani Tabbida Ileyali must be watched for its delicate tackle individuals and their susceptible feelings.
