The background score for this scene has special relevance

Sapta Sagaradaache Ello Side B has been on OTT for nearly two weeks and it seems that every other day audience members are discovering some previously unknown matter about the film. This week, the focus has been on one particular sound that plays during the climax, almost at the end of the film, which an audience member has identified, which prompted director Hemanth M Rao to explain its use in the scene.

Right before Manu (Rakshit Shetty) walks off into the sea, as he looks at the beach and sees Priya (Rukmini Vasanth), there is a peculiar sound playing in the background, which, as it turns out is a particular bird’s song, the context of which, is quite heart-breaking and, which makes perfect sense in the film’s sequence.

The sound used is a recording of the last male Kauai O’o bird singing for a female that will never come. The species has, since, gone extinct. Impressed that someone has actually picked on the reference used here, Hemanth took to social media to explain that he had read about a group of scientists who went around capturing the last sounds of animals going extinct.

“I was incredibly moved when I heard the male kauai bird song. I knew instantly I'd be using it for this sequence,” he wrote, further sharing a reference video he had for the sound. Impressed that someone actually connected the dots, Hemanth added that he often adds elements to films that audiences may or may not get, which he is fine with.

Meanwhile, yet another Easter egg that an audience member spotted is in a scene featuring Manu and Surabhi (Chaithra J Achar) in a store buying a wall clock, wherein all the clocks behind are stuck at the exact same point in time, while the ones behind her are all ticking. “The director wanted to convey how Manu is stuck in time while surabhi's life moves ahead,” wrote the user, to which Hemanth responded that while the keeper of the establishment they shot at was incredibly sweet, he was confused by the particular arrangement the filmmaker had chosen.

Sapta Sagaradaache Side A and Side B are available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. The film, which also stars Ramesh Indira, Gopalkrishna Deshpande, JP Thuminad, among others, in pivotal characters, has music by Charan Raj, which is one of its the most important corner stones.
