This movie starts strongly. But like most Indian Movies drags it a bit long. It had all the ingredients to make it good.But watching the movie makes you feel it could have been done so much better than it was. Like there are sequence of unnecessary songs. Like most Indian movies they are not required. Great story line but not so great direction doesn't quit make it a movie to watch out for. Still something new for an Indian movie. Also the climax of the movie makes you think a lot about it. All in all a great try but not quite there yet if you are expecting a Chritopher Nolan type movie.

I was checking that IMDb score and though. Did I miss something last year? Nope. I am not even sure why it is tagged sci-fi. I found it slow and got bored after a while, just waiting for the story to unfold, with little surprises, and no real twist. The viewer can probably go to the loo without missing much of the story. Although there is potential for reality/dream scenarios, this movie hardly exploits it. I was intrigued when a second user was introduced to the screen, hoping for the story to develop in complexity, only to go back to the romance storyline after a second. Maybe a missed opportunity. In fact the budget is probably the most impressive aspect of this movie, and it shows that one doesn't need multi-million budget to get good quality images on screen. But like most Indian movies, it seems that the director can't get away from Bollywood love stereotypes stories, as if stuck in time. Don't get me wrong, the film was reasonably pleasant to watch with typical Indian humour all the way through, but if the director wants to explore some new genre, he is going to need to make a bigger effort in his writing to satisfy the effervescence of the human mind.What the production did get right, was managing a score of 8.5, but we all know India can make miracles when it comes to the internet. ;)

Though basically from Bangalore, i have to admit i haven't seen many Kannada films. But i was keen on watching this given all the hullabaloo that preceded the making of the movie. And boy, was it worth the wait?!! Lucia has to be one of the best(if not the best!!)to come out of the Indian movie scene in recent times. The non-linear structure of the movie ensures that the viewer DOES NOT have to leave his brains back home. One has to really concentrate on the proceedings to stay in tune with the flow.The film does tend give one the notion of taking the "traditional" route of such movies for most part of the second half but springs a terrific surprise towards the end that is sure to end this movie watching experience on a high.Do watch this if non-conformist movies are your type.

What i want to say, for Indian film standard this movie is new style. For India...but for general,there is still nerves-jumping way of forced action. Silly sound with silly running... Its story want to be intellectual, but this style of making can't be that. It's some on the way from Bollywood action-love drama style,but it's not here yet. still looks like is made for children or semi-retarded crowd... Sorry but thats my opinion,maybe is little bit hard,but thats the way i express my feelings,real. They need to learn and work harder if they want to create realistic life situation,even if it's sci-fi movie it need dose of reality in relations,dialogs and behavior. But, i am glad to see that they,Indian movie makers, are trying to make movies closer to our taste. If they continue in that direction it will be good.
