Month of Madhu

Watch MoM on your mobile or your laptop when you've got a great game of tennis or something far more engaging is playing on the TV.

It's the pace of narration that gets to you at first, and then you start noticing that it's a story of a typical cocky, irresponsible and egoistic youngster who's, by local standards better looking than the rest of the unkempt lot. All Naveen Chandra had to do was rehash his role in Ammu. It's usually those girls with low EQ that fall prey to characters like these. And Swati did well as the ignorant teen and the practical young lady.

The US track looks like it was slapped on so that a short film can pass off as feature length movie.

While it's understandable that the mutton packet is kept a mystery until the end, it's criminal to parch the audience with hot air for the length of the film.

The chances of viewers tapping out in the middle of 2nd half are very high. This mutton biryani takes forever to cook.

When I watched it for the 2nd time, I have realized more of what director really wants to show through this movie.

Every character at its best. Less dialogues with great expression.

This movie making must have needed a lot of observations of different characters and their way of showing affection, and people around them.

It has so many hard hitting points with a deeper meaning.

Definitely this movie is not for commercial purpose.

How many times I ever watch, May be if will feel new Everytime just like a piece of abstract art Music is extraordinary. Music and dialogues Felt very close to heart.

I don't understand what is the essence of the movie! What is the point of the movie? You just showed how one month goes on with various characters..I remember chantabbai where sree lakshmi creates a character just to show how rasam is prepared.. what is the message here? What is there to admire in this?

The only thing good about this is how refreshing swathi is! And that girl from UsA, what an over acting..

The whole new age cinema makes sense only if there is something about these stories.

Movie tries to be wannabe but falls short of minimum expectations and minimum story telling prowess. Its a dud.

Madhusudhan and Lekha have been separated with Lekha applying for divorce citing his alcoholism as one of the major reason. He spends all his time drinking and hoping she would come back, refusing to divorce her. A 19 year old NRI teen Madhu arrives in India to attend a marriage. She feels alienated in both the countries and has frequent clash with her disapproving mother, be it the way she behaves or how overweight she is. How these two Madhus meet and why goes through their lives, will Madhu and Lekha divorce or will Madhu and her mom make up, forms rest of the story.

On paper, it definitely sounded far more decent than what was executed on screen. Definitely, the performances elevated the scenes quite a lot and the non-linear narrative helped to stay invested with the story. But, the way I was connected to the story of Madhusudhan and Lekha, I felt as disconnected with the story of Madhu and not that I couldn't follow her story but how her subplot felt had nothing to contribute to Madhusudhan, neither she takes away anything from his life. It's just two random strangers meeting and talking to no avail.

If I get to separate these two stories and entirely then it appears much better with Madhusudhan and Lekha story having much weight and most importantly being relatable. To put it simply, it was more wholesome. Here's a couple who loved each other and then they fell out of love. The mystery behind why the parted is well kept till the end though it's not hard to predict but is more satisfying in seeing the character remember and realise in the end. Overall, Month of Madhu is in a way a missed opportunity and could have been a far better film if the NRI story was handled more effectively.
