Reception

Tatsama Tadbhava received positive reviews from critics who praised Meghana and Prajwal's performances and technical aspects but criticized its writing and direction.

Critical response

Harish Basavarajaiah of The Times of India gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "The investigative thriller, aided by good actors and technical brilliance, can be thoroughly enjoyed in theatres.[6]

Vivek M.V.'s review in The Hindu lauds Meghana Raj Sarja and Prajwal Devaraj's performances in the Kannada thriller 'Tatsama Tadbhava' directed by Vishal Atreya. Meghana Raj Sarja impresses with her portrayal of Arika, infusing grace and depth into her emotionally vulnerable character. The film revolves around Arika reporting her husband's disappearance, and police officer Aravind Ashwathamma, portrayed by Prajwal Devaraj, leading an engaging whodunit investigation.

The film maintains suspense, keeping viewers guessing about the prime suspect, akin to the intrigue seen in Vidya Balan's 'Kahaani.' Despite minor shortcomings like a convenient revelation and rushed conclusion, 'Tatsama Tadbhava' stands out with its intelligent plot and tightly woven screenplay. Director Vishal Atreya's captivating direction maintains viewer engagement, featuring well-placed serious moments that provide the expected thrill.

Prajwal Devaraj excels as a thoughtful cop, contrasting his previous 'mass' police officer role. 'Tatsama Tadbhava' delivers a lasting impact as a gripping thriller, ensuring an immersive cinematic experience.[7]

A Sharadhaa's review for The Indian Express gave "Tatsama Tadbhava" a 3/5 rating. The film's conclusion left a lasting impact, exploring the complexity of situations. Vishal Atreya's debut featured a talented cast, focusing more on conversations than the typical whodunit approach. The film is divided into five engaging segments, delving into the mysteries of a missing husband, an emotional journey, and intriguing inquiries. Meghana Raj Sarja and Prajwal Devaraj delivered compelling performances, anchoring the story effectively. Despite minor imperfections, the film offers an innovative and dialogue-rich take on crime thrillers, making it a worthy choice for enthusiasts.[8]
