Media Release

Mangaluru, Sep 20: The makers of native Mangalurean Kannada film ‘Damayana’ released its official teaser in the evening of Onam festival on September 11.

The teaser is currently available in Lahari Music’s YouTube channel. The protagonist ‘Damodar’ introduces himself in the one-and-a-half-minute fun pack. The ridiculous character of Damodar is the talk of the time. Damodar’s character is played by the director Shreemukha himself.

The teaser starts with the humours caption saying ‘From The Makers of No Other Films’ meaning to say that the team is a first-time movie maker. However, the teaser looks pro. The young Damodar speaks in the Mangalurean accent of Kannada and introduces himself as he is from Puttur.

Damodar believes that he is a very talented person for all he can do is stealing areca nuts from the house and sing in TikTok. His father is a farmer, mother a housewife. Whereas Damodar’s only wish is to go to the city and become famous. Damodar’s sense of dressing, behaviour has a unique style of his own. In the satire teaser- Damodar’s character reminds of those people who became famous on social media as trolls. Through the teaser, the team successfully conveys that it is a content-oriented film.

The scenes in the teaser running with Keerthan Balila’s music is a treat to watch. Cinematographer Siddu GS, editor Karthick KM, colourist Karthik Murali and VFX artiste Guru Raj have done an appreciable job. All the characters in the teaser are played by fresh faces making it look more natural.

The teaser ends with the caption saying ‘Coming Soon’ as the team is planning to release the film in theatres soon. The teaser is rightfully going viral on social media with various clippings and shots used as memes. Not sure if Damodar becomes famous as he wishes in the film but in real, the character Damodar has already become famous.
