Kiran Deohans’s brilliant cinematography is the USP of this well made musical, scored in well by Ilaiyaraja.
The beauty of Goa has been showcased breathtakingly!
The theme is about a School of Music opened by Arman Joshi where Shriya Sharan joins as the music teacher.
A bunch of students from the neighbourhood join the Music School. Some parents patronize while some others don’t!
A musical play of the famous musical feature, The Sound of Music (1965) is planned but things get difficult as working difficulties surface at the base station.
Hence a trip to Goa is planned so that rehearsals could be held.
All that begins well, ends well in the tense filled climax set against a soothing musical backdrop when I am 16, running 17 song is depicted.
The second half moves at a better pace than the first.
A feel good movie.
