Actor-director Yathiraj has released his latest short film, Idre Nettagirabeku. This quiet, observant piece examines how attitudes, priorities, and social habits have changed over time. Instead of making loud statements, the film subtly highlights something many people recognize today: the fading line between promise and responsibility.
Available on the Yethics YouTube channel, the film begins in a simple, almost ordinary setting. The story is not dramatic in the usual sense, but it slowly shifts, catching the viewer off guard. The writing allows the situations to speak for themselves, and by the end, the film conveys its message without explicitly stating it.
Yathiraj plays multiple roles as the producer, director, and one of the actors. His on-screen presence feels measured and matches the film’s mood. He is joined by Ranjith, Tanisha, Mahesh, Anu, Divya, Guru, and Abhishek, who keep their performances natural and true to life, avoiding any exaggeration.
Visually, the film remains clean and straightforward. Jeeva’s cinematography does not draw attention but quietly supports the story. Vijay Harits’ music stays in the background and only comes in when necessary, while editor Jeevan Prakash keeps a steady pace that allows the scenes to breathe.
Idre Nettagirabeku does not try to impress with size or style. Its strength lies in its simplicity and timing. In a fast-paced world that quickly forgets, the film poses a fundamental question about commitment and leaves the audience reflecting on it long after the screen fades to black.
