Palasa 1978 is a rustic periodic drama set up in the 70s background. The film managed to caught the audience attention with its interesting theatrical trailer. Let us see how the movie is.
What about story.?
Palasa 1978 is all about the suppression of lower caste people by upper caste and how the lower caste people began revolution. Ranga and Mohana (Rakshit) are two brothers from lower caste. Mohana’s love interest in Nakshatra. Like in every village, this village too has two heads Shavukaru and Chinna Shavukaru (Raghu Kunche). All is not fine between these two. Rest of the story is all about how situations, politics, greediness changed the lives of these people and how they ended up finally.
How about On-Screen Stars performance.?
Every actor who played key role in the movie gives stunning performance. Rakshit is impressive in his second movie. There is lot of improvement from him when compared to his debut film. The person who played Rakshit’s brother is excellent. Nakshatra could have got lengthy role yet she did fine on her part. Raghu Kunche did a decent job. He is not our regular villain. He does subtle acting. Lakshman as a side kick to hero has done good job. Person who played Police Officer character Sebastian is good. As said before, there is nothing to point out about performances.
How about off Screen Talents.?
Dialogues are excellent in the movie. There are few cuss words which are used in the flow at the beginning. Wonder how censor allowed those. Cinematography is good but there is no focus in few scenes. Rustic feel is created effectively. Screenplay is predictable. Story is routine. Kirana Kumar did a good job with direction. He knows how to elevate heroism. With better story and screenplay Kirana Kumar could have done better job. He has handled those departments too. Editing could have been better. Action episodes are praiseworthy.
Music by Raghu Kunche is good, so is BGM. Folk songs are used majorly in the movie. However few songs come as hindrance. No complaints about production.
What’s Hot.?
Dialogues
Rustic and rugged look of the film
Performances of all the lead cast

Post Interval block
What’s Not.?
Routine Story

Slow pace
Climax
Editing
Verdict:
Palasa 1978 opened with such authentic feel. Dialogues, performances, music and other stuff makes the movie somewhat special. Though the story is routine, there will be no complaints in first half as there are some noteworthy scenes. However pace of the second half gets bogged down and it becomes too predictable. Climax of the film is a big let down as director doesn’t give proper ending.
Immediate reaction at Intermission:
First half has its moments. Impressive stuff with goosebumps moments here and there. However movie’s pace is slow. Second half set up nicely. Let us see.
Immediate reaction at end credits:
Boring second half, first half is a lot better. Screenplay is not that effective.
Watch or Not?: Yes, if you love realistic and rustic dramas.
Box Office Status:
Palasa 1978 is made on a limited budget. Given the genre, backdrop, it could attract few sections of audiences. As the movie too is not that bad it might have better run at the box office. However it all depends on the other movie which are releasing today.
