‘Powder’ movie review: Diganth and a troupe of quirky characters deliver a unique dramedy

The Hindu  

Kannada cinema has had directors approaching comedy in different ways. Powder Director: Janardhan Chikkanna Cast: Diganth, Dhanya Ramkumar, Rangayana Raghu, Gopalkrishna Deshpande, Anirudh Acharya, Sharmiela Mandre Runtime: 130 minutes Storyline: Three people in a small town try to become rich overnight by selling illegal powder smuggled in talcum powder bottles. The dry spell of good comedy dramas in the Kannada film industry ended with Hostel Hudugaru Bekagiddare in 2023, a campus drama that broke new grounds in production. And hot on its heels, Powder, directed by Janardhan Chikkanna and written by Deepak Venkateshan isn’t your regular comedy drama. The trio learns about the presence of drugs worth crores stuffed inside talcum powder containers inside Soorya’s store.
