OME films have the rare ability to capture the essence of college life, painting a vivid picture of youthful energy, the unbreakable bonds of friendship, and the relentless pursuit of dreams amidst the everyday struggles. Interval is one such film, effortlessly blending humor with heartfelt moments as it follows a group of childhood friends navigating their college years and post-graduation job hunts.
Set in a rural village, it offers a refreshing take on the universal challenges of youth, education, and the daunting leap into the professional world. The film opens with a quirky yet heartfelt gesture: a special thanks to those who helped fund it. This genuine acknowledgement sets the tone of the struggles of filmmaking. The closing line, "You are responsible for your own dreams," ties everything together, echoing the choices, consequences, and unexpected 'intervals' life throws at us.
Think of Interval as a metaphor. While we traditionally associate an interval with a break between two acts in a film, here it represents life's transitions. It's not about stopping; it's about those moments when decisions are made, futures are shaped, and destinies take surprising turns. The story begins in a quaint village where three childhood friends—Ganesh S (Shashiraj), Ganesh T (Sukesh Sukhi), and Ganesh U (Prajwal Kumar Gowda)—take us through school, friendship, and academic struggles. We can all relate to the anxiety of showing a not-so-great report card to our parents, getting our grandmother's thumbprint on it, and the universal dread of exams.
