Kaddha Chitra

Plot: Kaddha Chitra explores the life of writer Vijay Kshatriya

Review: Vijay Kshatriya(Vijay Raghavendra) is a reckless bachelor who is disorganized, but has a passion for writing.

His life changes drastically after he meets Aditi (Namratha Surendranath). Aditi, who stays below Vijay's home, accidentally comes across what he's written, and ends up giving a pep talk to him, to consider taking writing up seriously. He listens to her, and soon turns into a writer, and his writings get accolades everywhere. Overnight, he rises to fame, and becomes a celebrated novelist.
Soon, a relationship blossoms between Vijay and Aditi. They get married and welcome a baby girl soon after. All is well in Vijay's life, until it takes an unexpected turn. He begins to hog the limelight for all the wrong reasons, which also unfortunately turns his relationship sour.

The story reaches a crescendo when Vijay struggles to come to terms with the negative publicity against him. On the other hand, a notorious gang known for sexually abusing girls becomes the talk of the town, and how these plots interconnect forms the core of the film.

A lack of depth in writing is a major flaw of the film. Though there are moments which grab the attention of the audience, it doesn't last too long. As the entire movie rides on Vijay Raghavendra’s performance, he delivers his best as Vijay Kshatriya, a person who has multiple shades. Kaddha Chitra which was touted to be an emotional, romantic thriller falls short of expectations.
