Seetharam Binoy Review: Police cases can go on for years, not films made on them ‘Sitaram Binoy Case No. 18’

Some movies run at their own pace. It seems that nobody has anywhere to go. There is no rush to reach anywhere. Just like life moves slowly, so do films. The stories of these films set in small towns and villages in the fast paced life bring comfort to the heart, but if the story is of a police case then its slow pace can go just opposite to your scale of interest. Seetharaam Benoy Case Number 18 is a film based on a good story, but it seems that the director was sitting imagining a web series and the film had to be made. The film is excessively long.

For a policeman, a theft in his house challenges his pride and dignity. The posting of Sitaram Binoy is done in the village police station of Shimoga district. Some vicious thieves target his house. Investigation reveals that some other such thefts have also happened. In search of links, Sitaram and his companions adopt different methods, but do not get much success. During the investigation, Sitaram’s wife is murdered and a new series of investigations begins. In this situation, Sitaram gets the case no. 18’s file. A serial murder file. In the midst of the investigation of theft cases, this exercise of knowing the truth behind the serial murders, where does Sitaram lead, the climax of this film hinges on the same thing.

This is the first film of writer-director Devi Prasad Shetty and probably that’s why no skimp has been taken in writing. The problem with new writers is that in the film they show the reasons behind each incident happening sequentially. Hero tries to justify the specialty of the character of Heroine or Villain and that is why instead of the intelligence of the audience, he himself wants to tell everything. Devi Prasad Shetty is also facing the same problem. Despite this, he has made a very good film.

There is no newness as a director. But in an innovative film, the hard work even a policeman has to do has been shown well. No evidence or clue comes to Sitaram (Vijay Raghavendra) suddenly and neither is he a super cop who solves cases in a jiffy. In the initial phase, they feel disappointed in solving the case. The film is Kannada actor Vijay’s 50th film and the entire film is based on him. Producer Satwik Hebbar has played the role of a villain in the film but he has resisted the urge to keep the camera focused on himself.

Gagan Baderia’s music is good, the scope of some songs was kept in the film, which was unnecessary. Although the songs are good and melodious. This is also the first film of cinematographer Hemant and he has done a good job. You can see the correct use of top shots and drone shots. Since the characters lead a very normal life, their shots have been taken in natural light. It is also the first film of editor Shashank Narayan. Probably the director’s influence must have been more, so he could not remove many unnecessary scenes, due to which the film has been stretched for about 20 minutes more. Director Deviprasad’s intention of riding with two plots, manages the film to a great extent but after the entry of a new character, the film slips.

If only the story of thief-police game was there then the film would have been more interesting. A gang of vicious thieves and a police officer, but it is not so. The film is good. is long. Patience is needed. Will see only if there is more time. Or if you are fond of watching slow moving movies, then definitely watch it. Sitaram Binoy Case no. Mistakes will be less visible in 18.
