6/10
A BEAUTIFUL COMING OF AGE TALE SET IN A RURAL VILLAGE OF RAJASTHAN
13 June 2021
Skater Girl is a movie that focused mainly on a rural poor teenage girl who had no idea what to become and achieve in life and is soon introduced to the world of skateboarding.

Okay so the plot felt average to me nothing new except the sport of skateboarding being included.

It also had scenes that touched caste discrimination and inequality topics but it was just touch an go situation.

There is a scene where the British Indian lady asks to the lead actress "is the caste system still relevant?" And the answer comes in as "Nobody talks about it but still follow it" I felt like that was a good line.

The lead actor and newcomer RACHEL SAANCHITHA GUPTA as PRERNA is brilliant,very convincing and is ofc the heart of the movie but the subcharacters were equally convincing for me especially SUBODH who was a very likeable character and was portrayed nicely by VINAYAK GUPTA.

AMY MAGHERA (as the British Indian) and JONATHAN READWIN (an American friend of the londoner) did their part well too.

The character arc of prerna was intriguing and compelling to watch.

Be it finding her passion,her first taste of freedom or overcoming her fear.

A nice brother sister relationship is also there are as part of the subplot.

Songs were decent but imo they didn't sync with the scenes except the MAARI CHALANGEIN song that was a really good song and went hand in hand with the scenes.

Visually good too some shots were just brilliant.

Only the screenplay felt a little bit flawed to me like the movie was convincing on some points but other times it felt forced.

That's how I felt it

Overall it's an enjoyable coming of age sports drama that was worth my time.

Hoping that it also will be worth yours too.
