Direction
Once more, Jayatheetha demonstrates his competence with Kaiva, striking a balance between adrenaline-pumping action and compact storytelling. He holds your attention by slowly introducing suspense and not letting the tension subside.
Instead of banking on silly, unwanted drama or high-voltage stunts Jayatheetha leans heavily on a good plot and well-made characters. His direction ensures that every scene has a point, which paces the film lean, fast-moving and very engaging.
Music
B Ajaneesh Lokanath breathes life into this movie project with his spine chilling and intense music. The score heightens every tense emotional moment, making the action sequences tenser and the emotional scenes more massive.
Ajaneesh’s score doesn’t just noodle around in the back — it guides the listener through the movie’s shifting tones, from suspense-filled to action-driven to feeling-fueled drama.
Cinematography
On the other hand, behind the camera, Shwet Priya Naik ceates a visual appeal which is as exciting as the film’s story. The film’s cinematography, its grim sameness evoking a more effective use of the format than do the film’s actual events, including stylish action.
Whether it’s a high-speed chase or a hushed, intense confrontation, Naik’s camera makes certain that each scene looks as gripping as it’s intended, dragging the viewer along for the ride.

With its polished and professional appearance, the production team makes sure Kaiva is looking its best and can focus in on delivering a tight, impactful story.
Story
“Kaiva” is based on a true story in Bengaluru in 1983. The film is said to be about taking the audiences back to Old Bengaluru, and how the city was then both bright as well as the underbelly during that time.
B. Ajaneesh Loknath, a composer noted for his art, shapes this part of the comedian saga as a music director who brings in melody to the account. Meanwhile, cinematographer Shwet Priya Naik gives us arresting images both of the grandeur and grunge of Old Bengaluru; and finally, veteran editor KM Prakash ensures that we are engaged with the narrative flow.
Review
Raghu Niduvalli in collaboration with Jayathirtha adds texture and reality to Old Bengaluru on screen with screenplay. Together, their efforts ensures you pack an unforgettable cinematic experience, one that immerses itself in history and at the same time brings Old Bengaluru back to life on the silver screen.
As the release date of the film edges closer, so does the excitement for Kaiva, which, they say, is a film that’s based on real incidents but is also a treat to the eyes and ears for those who love cinema.
