Story

Sees Kaddi is a surreal Kannada family drama directed by Rathan Gangadhar. The film follows a troubled writer who embarks on a dreamlike journey with a security guard he perceives as a mythical figure, Bethaala, while imagining himself as Vikrama from folklore.

Each character’s struggles and traits mirror his own inner turmoil, blurring the boundaries between reality and imagination. The narrative explores identity, time, and the power of storytelling, weaving together folklore and modern existential questions. With its layered structure, Sees Kaddi challenges audiences to reflect on how personal battles manifest through art and myth. The performances by Deepika Adthale, Cithin Appaiah, Manvi Balgar, and others bring emotional depth to the film, while Siddharth Kamath’s music enhances its dreamlike quality. The cinematography captures both the mystical and the grounded aspects of Karnataka’s landscapes, adding to the film’s visual richness. Sees Kaddi stands out as a bold experiment in Kannada cinema, offering a blend of fantasy, drama, and philosophy that resonates with viewers seeking unconventional storytelling.
