Pentagon

Movie review: A first tale touches upon two couples. One wants to end his life as his lover rejects him and another couple wanted to end their relationship, but everyone ends things on a happy note.

The second one which has a family subject showcases the plight of a senior person who is neglected by his family.

The third plot revolves around a murder incident of a woman who was gang raped; it has twists and turns in the right place which makes it intriguing and highlights modern trend of crimes with the advent of social media.

It's the caste issue which is set in a village entwined with love that dominates the penultimate plot which creates a rift between two communities.

The final plot is about reformed underworld don and Kannada activist Kadamba Ramachandrappa who stages a protest against Hindi imposition and demands local jobs to Kannadigas which become a headache to the ruling government.

Pentagon, which is an anthology film, is an unique attempt by the five directors based on concepts which are different from each other, and generates interest with simple narration and what stands out is each story has a message which is conveyed in an impactful manner without relying on one or two characters and it manages to leave a mark. The movie could have been a lot more tighter in certain parts to make it more engaging. However, Pentagon is worth watching
