Rave reviews and a stellar cast are surely the best ingredients to allure you to watch a movie, and that is exactly what pulled me to watch this one.
It is the story of an ailing husband who succumbs to death, leaving behind his wife and mother. The delay in burying him due to floods brings out hidden truths, lies, and the complexity of relationships to the forefront.
On the surface, it may look like a simple tale, but it has multiple layers that draw you in. The screenplay is tight and helps you understand the intent behind every action taken by the characters. The best part about the movie is that everyone is right in their perspective, yet everyone can be called wrong if you switch on the societal compass.
Legendary actress Urvashi is a force to reckon with when it comes to acting. She still is the best and delivers a standout performance. The emotional turmoil she faces comes across naturally through her facial expressions. Parvathy Thiruvothu is another example of an exemplary actress, and she proves it yet again. Prasanth Murali, even with limited screen presence, does well.
Captain of the ship, Christi Tomy, creates an immersive experience for viewers where silence speaks volumes. The cinematography is another brilliantly done aspect, with picturesque frames that captivate you. It is not your run-of-the-mill story; rather, you get to see a progressive story set in a small village in Kerala.
Get ready to watch a movie that is slow yet highly engaging. Don't miss this gem at any cost and be ready to watch never seen before relationship between daughter in law and mother in law.
