Maara (2021)
As they say, the universe does work in the most mysterious of ways...
The story starts with a young girl being treated to an unusual fairy-tale that is cut short in the middle. It then takes us on a magical ride of the now grown-up girl's quest to reach its epilogue.
Depicted through its beautiful cinematography, Maara is like a breathtaking mural painting in itself. While the story unfolds, one cannot help but wonder how the lives of people that we come across are intertwined in one way or the other.
As told in the movie, "There is a pleasure mixed with the pain in waiting. No one understands it until they experience it." This film is about pure and unconditional love, and as they say, the universe does work in the most mysterious of ways to bring together long-lost souls.
The movie would definitely leave you with a sweet after-taste, because, as a rule in all the best stories of the world, everybody always lives happily ever after.

C/o Kancharapalem (2018)
An Ode to True Love!
"Sporting victory or defeat,
In season or out of season,
Love does not come aglitter on the forehead,
Love defies time,
Love defies age even more..."
These words have been immortalized through the baritone voice of the 'Bard of the Brahmaputra' in a beautiful composition. This movie portrays how true these words can get.
C/o Kancharapalem is an ode to true love, which can crisscross age, religion and above all, time. This movie has been crafted like a brilliant jigsaw puzzle, where all the pieces fit in methodically to reveal the final masterpiece, LOVE.
The actors, mostly amateurs, play out the parts with their heart and soul and draw you into the rustic world of Kancharapalem. The writer/director has done a great deal of poetic justice in drawing a beautiful canvas of life, where each and every character has been brilliantly sketched. The movie portrays the highs and lows of one's life, with the right pinch of humour and tragedy and will leave you astonished at how the universe works, in the end.
The movie is just like a breath of fresh air with a beautiful after-taste, that stays with you for quite some time and will leave you longing for more. It will make you believe that true love does defy age and time in our journey of life.
96 (2018)
A Soulful Journey down the Memory Lane
It was a soulful experience right from the very first scene, be it for the acting, the cinematography, the direction, the artistic subtlety or for the emotions that were tinged with the right amount of laughter and sadness. This movie would make many go down their memory lane in search of the lost opportunities that they couldn't make the best use of, when life itself presented it before them.
The lead pair of Vijay Sethupathi and Trisha Krishnan hold onto your hand and walk you down the memory lane. Their acting is superb. The chemistry between them is spot-on. The music is soulful too. The emotions displayed, have a lot to say in the movie. You would hardly find a scene where the eyes don't speak a thousand words.
As they say, "If you love someone with all your heart, the universe conspires with all its might to make it happen." Life presents you with opportunities for this to happen. But sadly, sometimes, the human mind doesn't comprehend these signals and words are left unsaid. What is left behind, is only regret, which is everlasting. And, we end up cursing the universe itself.
This movie portrays unconditional love, which is one of the purest human emotions. There are scenes where one would definitely shed a tear or two and bring out the old feelings that one has buried deep in their hearts. But, feeling nostalgic is not enough. One has to relive, revisit and reclaim the places and people one has known, experienced and loved, to remember forever and to bring a smile onto your lips. It teaches you to dare and grab the opportunities that life throws at you. Because do remember, "Once you meet someone, you never really forget them."
Go watch the movie and experience a part of yourself on the big screen.
