Animal welfareFor a person with an animal welfare perspective, seeing the nuances around the new prevention of cruelty to animals rules, breeding, and adoption in the film was very heartening.Priya Chetty-RajagopalRakshit Shetty/FacebookSometimes I wonder where a pet badge, a pet licensing program we had done long back, and a film about a man and a dog all come together. They do in 777 Charlie. Directed by Kiranraj K, it is one of the simplest, most beautiful, and grittiest tales of a love that passeth all understanding, a love that happens despite yourself not because of yourself - that between a person and a dog.

ReviewDespite its shortcomings, ‘777 Charlie’ presents a strong case about the life-changing capabilities of pets, especially dogs, and how their unconditional love has helped many wade through the harshest of times.Shuklaji777 Charlie, the latest pan-India offering from Kannada cinema, is the story of unlikely companions. Throughout the story, writer Kiranraj K (also the director) enunciates this in the form of pairings that are odd and ill-fitted at first but find tender resolutions later. Dharma (Rakshit Shetty), the perennially angry, unpleasant protagonist of this story, is the common feature of most, in fact all, of these pairings and in a strange yet endearing way, the film’s gaze remains on him throughout despite him not being the hero, so to speak. Sure, he lands a few crunchy punches along the way, nests a “manly” workshop in his garage, and climbs the tallest mountains for the sake of love. But he still isn’t your run-of-the-mill hero.
