Tapassi Kannada movie review , songs , trailer

Tapassi follows the harrowing journey of a young woman named Tapassi (played by Ammayra Goswami), who enters the modeling industry with dreams of fame and success. However, her path is quickly derailed by substance abuse, exploitation, and emotional trauma. The story unfolds through a flashback narrative as Tapassi recounts her descent into addiction and her eventual search for healing through the help of Professor Ravish Vaidyanathan (V. Ravichandran).  The film is inspired by real incidents from Bengaluru’s nightlife and fashion circles, adding a layer of authenticity to its cautionary tale.

Cast includes Ammayra Goswami,V. Ravichandran,Anusha Kini,Sachin Wairal,Vinaya Prasad. Spencer Matthew’s direction is ambitious, tackling themes of addiction, exploitation, and redemption. Spencer deserves credit for choosing a socially relevant subject and attempting to portray the psychological toll of fame and vice. Music by Arav Rishik complements the gritty tone of the film. The score avoids glamor and instead leans into somber, reflective melodies. Cinematography by Veeresh Bugude captures the contrast between Tapassi’s glamorous aspirations and her grim reality. Editing by Arun P. Thomas keeps the pace tight.


The film reminds us that chasing external validation can lead to internal emptiness. Tapassi’s journey shows how timely intervention and compassion can redirect a life. Recognizing one’s patterns and choosing change is the first step toward healing. The film critiques how industries and individuals prey on vulnerability, urging viewers to be more empathetic and vigilant.
