Pedro is a 2021 Indian Kannada-language film directed by Natesh Hegde and starring Gopal Hegde in the titular role. The film was released in film festivals.
A critic from Screen Daily wrote that "Deliberately paced but hardly sedate, Pedro is a confident feature debut, with HegdeâÂÂs decision to forgo score in favour of Shreyank NanjappaâÂÂs subtly enveloping sound design making its regional portrait particularly immersive". A critic from NDTV rated the film four out of five stars and wrote that "Taken in its entirety, Pedro is a quietly searing portrait of isolation, insularity and intolerance couched in the colours of a lush landscape". A critic from Deccan Herald wrote that "Be it life or art, things left unsaid are the most powerful. When a tragedy is left to the imagination of the audience, it keeps haunting them for a long time. This is exactly what Natesh HegdeâÂÂs award-winning movie Pedro achieves, with its fine story-telling".
