Child artistes steal the show in this resonant coming-of-age story
Director Vinesh Viswanath makes a delightful debut with *Sthanarthi Sreekuttan*, tackling one of the toughest challenges in filmmaking: crafting a movie *about* kids and *with* kids, while treating them with the depth and respect usually reserved for adults. Here, the children are not "cute-ified" or simplified. Instead, Vinesh assembles a remarkable cast of young talents, each of whom delivers nuanced and captivating performances under his direction.
Set against the backdrop of a classroom election in a government school, the film embraces the essence of a "mass movie." Vinesh's vision shines through not only in his storytelling but also in his technical finesse. His shot division-combined with the way he and his editor have reimagined the screenplay-features slightly exaggerated cutaways and impeccably timed reaction shots, adding layers of humor and drama. The result is a vibrant and engaging cinematic experience that is both playful and impactful.
