Her

Her is a gripping Malayalam movie that tells the story of five women, each navigating their own struggles and finding strength in solidarity. Directed by Lijin Jose, the film brilliantly portrays their lives, blending emotions, tension, and empowerment. The performances are outstanding, with Parvathy Thiruvothu and Urvashi standing out. The movie tackles pressing social issues and paints a picture of resilience and courage. The cinematography is stunning, capturing Kerala's beauty while highlighting its contrasts. Though the pace can feel slow at times, the depth of the narrative makes up for it. Her is an inspiring watch, celebrating the power of women coming together.

This is an anthology of 5 stories and like most anthologies there are weaker and stronger stories in it.

The best I feel is the Prathap Pothen and Urvashi one - the veteran actors have truly given great performances - rooted, realistic and nuanced. The story is well rounded as well - with great cinematography and background sound / music. It really was a visual poetry.

The story on the influencer / film maker Ramya Nambeeshan is second one I liked. Very original and brilliantly paced and executed. Acting by supporting cast could have been better - but good enough.

Rest of the stories were pretty average - Aishwarya Rajesh's story was a bit dull - though her performance was really good. Lijomol and Parvathy's performance as well story was underwhelming personally (not bad - just not really good enough to worth a watch)

As an anthology i liked how the stories connected ( though some appeared to be a bit force fitted just for the same of have a connected - but the first and last stories - which were the weak on its own - got slightly better and more depth by the connection )

The movie highlights on the mental,physical,social & emotional trauma women faces in their daily life.

The story reflects on the lives of 5 women from distinct backgrounds with their insecurities and struggles.

Archana has penned the stories convincingly portraying 5 women from various walks of life that can be well connected by the viewers. The creators has put light on self absorbed attitude,relationship issues,social stigmas,family taboos and the adverse effects of technological advancements in relationship through this short movie.

All the actors has made decent performances in the movie demanded by their character.

A light watchable flick that reminds about the concern,care and dignity deserved by women.
