Green Kannada movie review , songs , trailer

Green, directed by Raaj Vijay, is a haunting Kannada psychological thriller that explores the fragile boundaries between fear, memory, and madness. Set in a mysterious forest, it’s a cerebral, unsettling experience that lingers long after the credits roll. The film opens with a surreal image a glowing egg nestled in tangled roots, flickering under forest light. This sets the tone for a story where the forest is not just a setting but a living metaphor for the human psyche. The narrative follows two threads - Inspector Ravi Beerya   (Shiv Manju) enters the forest in search of a missing woman,  Savithri  (Dimpy Padhya). His vehicle breaks down, and he vanishes while seeking help. Mayanna   (Gopal Krishna Deshpande), a reclusive man suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, becomes the film’s central figure. Haunted by hallucinations and a childhood monster, Mayanna’s reality is fractured. The forest he wanders is both literal and symbolic a manifestation of his trauma and delusions. As the story unfolds, the forest becomes a character in itself alive, deceptive, and terrifying. A legend of a Chupacabra like creature adds a layer of folklore, blurring the line between myth and mental illness. Gopal Krishna Deshpande   delivers a powerful, nuanced performance as Mayanna. His portrayal of schizophrenia is empathetic and deeply human, never caricatured. Shiv Manju   as Inspector Ravi brings urgency and skepticism, grounding the film’s more surreal elements. Dimpy Padhya   as Savithri is pivotal, though her role is more symbolic than narrative driven.

Director   Raaj Vijay   crafts a visually rich, psychologically intense film. His use of symbolism like the glowing egg and the forest’s shifting moods elevates the narrative into allegory.  The   background score   is eerie and atmospheric, enhancing the film’s tension without overwhelming it. Cinematography   captures the forest in all its moods serene, sinister, and surreal. A standout is the animated sequence explaining the forest’s legend, which adds a mythic dimension to the psychological horror.
