Hondisi Bareyiri (Kannada with English Subtitles)

Hondisi Bareyiri at Victory Cinema Hondisi Bareyiri brings a Kannada ensemble drama to the big screen through the twelve-year journey of engineering friends. Their college days begin with laughter, arguments, elections, romance and the belief that friendship can remain unchanged forever. Adulthood introduces employment, marriage, disappointment and responsibilities no classroom could prepare them to handle. Victory Cinema presents Hondisi Bareyiri in Kannada with English subtitles for audiences across Bengaluru. Written and directed by debutant Ramenahalli Jagannatha, the film opened on February 10, 2023, with a U/A certificate and an approximately 133-minute runtime, blending comedy, drama and romance within one reflective coming-of-age story. Five friends across twelve years The film follows five people from engineering college into the different lives awaiting them after graduation. Each begins with plans about career, love and freedom, yet time changes priorities and exposes weaknesses hidden during student life. Friendships must survive distance, resentment and the possibility that people once inseparable may no longer understand one another. The twelve-year structure allows the characters to grow rather than remain frozen in nostalgia. Their choices create consequences that continue into work and marriage, while reunions reveal which bonds have endured and which require conversation, forgiveness or the courage to move forward. Praveen Tej as Jagan Praveen Tej plays Jagan, an energetic student whose college experiences place him at the centre of friendship, leadership and romance. Encouraged by Ranjith, he enters a student election and discovers the pressure of being trusted by others. Jagan’s confidence does not protect him from emotional disappointment, and adulthood requires him to accept that affection cannot always produce the future he imagined. His later relationship with Bhoomika adds another layer, asking whether two people carrying memories of earlier love can build a sincere marriage. Praveen Tej balances youthful charm with the responsibility demanded by Jagan’s changing circumstances. Naveen Shankar as Ranjith Naveen Shankar plays Ranjith, a strong-willed friend who resists intimidation and encourages the group to stand up for itself. His personality gives the college portion momentum, but the film also examines loneliness behind confidence. Ranjith’s journey suggests that the person supporting everyone else may still struggle to explain his own pain. As years pass, friendship becomes his emotional anchor even when life takes the group in separate directions. Naveen Shankar brings intensity and restraint to a character shaped by loyalty, disappointment and inner conflict, connecting the youthful energy of the opening years with serious realities that follow. Shri Mahadev and Aishani Shetty Shri Mahadev and Aishani Shetty play Kumar and Saniha, whose relationship contributes romance, uncertainty and youthful emotion to the ensemble. College creates an environment in which attraction can feel permanent because friends share every celebration and disagreement. Life after graduation tests whether those feelings can survive changing ambitions, family expectations and practical decisions. Their story broadens the film beyond one central couple and shows that every relationship develops differently. Shri Mahadev and Aishani Shetty bring freshness to the group, allowing humour and tenderness to exist beside difficult questions of commitment, compatibility and accepting another person’s chosen direction. Anirudh Acharya and the friendship circle Anirudh Acharya appears as Tiger Soma, adding humour and companionship to the group’s journey. His presence recreates the easy rhythm of college friendship, where nicknames, teasing and repeated jokes become a private language. Yet even the cheerful member of a group eventually faces decisions about work, love and stability. Hondisi Bareyiri values ordinary moments through which friendships are remembered: hostel conversations, journeys, celebrations and the reassurance of meeting people who knew one another before adulthood became complicated. The ensemble format allows every personality to contribute, making the group itself feel like one of the film’s central characters. Bhoomika, Kavana and Pallavi Bhavana Rao plays Bhoomika, Samyukta Hornad appears as Kavana and Archana Jois portrays Pallavi. These women bring emotional complexity to the years following college and prevent the story from treating adulthood only through male perspectives. Kavana’s choices affect Jagan deeply, while Bhoomika enters a marriage carrying experiences and reservations of her own. Pallavi contributes another relationship shaped by expectation, understanding and change. Their characters show that adjustment cannot mean one person silently surrendering to another. Healthy companionship requires listening, honesty and space for individual histories. The performances add maturity to a film interested in how love changes after youthful certainty gives way to responsibility. Accepting life and moving forward The title Hondisi Bareyiri can be understood as an invitation to match, adjust and continue writing life despite circumstances that refuse to follow a perfect plan. Director Ramenahalli Jagannatha described the film’s core as accepting life as it comes and learning to move on. That idea appears through failed expectations, altered relationships and the emotional work required to begin again. Adjustment is not presented merely as compromise imposed by society. It can also mean understanding another person, recognising one’s mistakes and changing without abandoning self-respect. The characters gradually discover that peace does not come from controlling every outcome, but from responding to change with empathy and courage. College memories and adult responsibilities Hondisi Bareyiri uses college life as more than a colourful opening chapter. The friendships formed there become the standard against which later relationships are measured. During those years, problems seem immediate but temporary: elections, misunderstandings, examinations and romantic uncertainty. Adult life introduces obligations that cannot be solved by one conversation or celebration. Careers demand relocation and patience, marriages require sustained communication, and family responsibilities reduce the freedom friends once took for granted. By moving between these stages, the film invites viewers to remember their own classmates while considering how much everyone changes. Nostalgia brings pleasure, but the story also acknowledges the difficult realities waiting beyond graduation. Music by Joe Costa Joe Costa composes the film’s eight-song soundtrack and background score, supporting friendship, romance, separation and reflection. Director Ramenahalli Jagannatha wrote several lyrics, with additional contributions from established Kannada lyricists. Songs give the characters emotional space beyond dialogue and help mark the passage from college energy to adult introspection. Melodies associated with memory and companionship strengthen the feeling that years are moving even when old friendships remain important. The film’s locations in Agumbe, Mangaluru and Sakleshpur add beauty to these musical passages. In a theatre, Joe Costa’s music, group celebrations and quieter emotional themes create a shared experience suited to audiences watching with friends.
