The story Paduvaarahalli (starring Avinash) was based on Hernando Téllez's short story Just lather, that's all.[11] The third story Girgitle, directed by Shashi Kumar P starring Raj B. Shetty was inspired by Hollywood film Groundhog Day (1993).
Plot
Katha Sangama is a family drama anthology, with one of its story that revolves around a father's attempt to build a fantasy land. Kishore, who lives in Bengaluru with his wife Yagna Shetty uses Hindi as a code language to discuss sensitive topics in front of their daughter. The film is a tribute to film director Puttanna Kanagal.[12]
This ensemble film features another intriguing short story titled as Sagara Sangama written by the 777 Charlie director, Kiranraj K.[13][14] This 20 minute plot revolves around a solo woman traveler getting stuck in the middle of nowhere, only to find herself stuck with a shady looking beggar with a fierce dog, to seek help from. The 'Spotlight Documentary Film Awards' winning director[15] has smartly conveyed the message of 'Don't judge a book by its cover' to this short story with an unexpected twist, that unfolds with a heart touching end.
The next story Sathya Katha Prasanga is described to be a trippy one, which revolves around the mundane life of a man stuck in a time wrap and how he unfolds the journey of sadness, frustration and confusion.
Girgitle starring Raj B. Shetty[16] and Amrutha Naik is an introspective story about a man leading a simple lifestyle, and how it takes an unexpected plot twist with an offbeat end, shot on the coast of Kaapu beach.
Uttara is an intense two-character story, that grabs the viewers undivided attention into delving for the conclusion of the conversation between two people who are dealing with sensitive media frenzy issues.
Paduvarahalli is a story that has been set in the era of British rule in India. It narrates the dichotomy of minds that occurs when a Sepoy visits a barber shop, amidst the occurrence of British-India riots.
This anthology ends with a drama genre tale, Lachhavva, that narrates a story of an innocent Hubli woman lost in the busy city of Bengaluru, and her journey of helplessness in finding her way back home. There is a fortunate instance of serendipity in the end to her tale.
