Lubber Pandhu | Tamil
The subgenre of sports movies, while innately familiar, comes with its own set of contradictions. However, “Premalu” sets itself apart from other saccharine romances by infusing genuine emotional depth, especially in portraying the central couple’s bond. It gives viewers everything that terrifies and exhilarates us in the genre.
The film’s strength lies in its ability to marry intelligent dialogue with a heartwarming love story, making its educational message both entertaining and impactful.
This approach is not without its appeal, as it deftly weaves in feminist themes with a certain allure that can transport you to the DD days, even if you are not really from that era.
His character’s anger and humor emerge at the most unexpected moments in the plot.
While the film occasionally indulges in over-the-top scenes and unpredictable campiness that may stray from the naturalistic charm of Madhavan’s first, a horror-comedy, it approaches its genre with fervent enthusiasm. Like all gripping mysteries, the climax is crafted to completely take the rug off audience’s feet.
Yet, the most striking aspect of Kishkindha Kaandam is how pronounced its feelings are.
Beyond this, it is a captivating and intimate examination of the nuanced relationship between a mother and daughter, culminating in the full bloom of realizations.
While certain segments of the film may seem protracted, the integrity of the narrative remains intact, largely due to the sensitive and insightful lead performance by debutante Preeti Panigrahi.
The preference for Kiran Rao’s ‘Laapataa Ladies’, an enjoyable yet flawed film, over Payal Kapadia’s luminous Grand Prix-winning work, highlighted the myopic vision of India’s film circles towards non-Hindi films. Her natural rapport with the other characters is so authentic that it makes her feel like someone you know personally.

This materialises into a sweet and moving companionship drama.
Girls Will Be Girls | Hindi, English
Shuchi Talati’s “Girls Will Be Girls” is not only a warm and engaging coming-of-age film but also serves as a poignant commentary on the upbringing of young and impressionable children in India. The gradual easing of tension between them as the story unfolds is nothing short of skillful storytelling.
