Parenting is an important role in all our lives. This movie is all about Parenting. Be wise with your words & character when child's are nearby.

"Good parenting gives headache, but bad parenting gives heartaches" This story was inspired from a newspaper article which is about real incidents happened in Bengaluru where infant's were rented out .

A farhadisque Indian film,Pinki Elli(2020) is a riveting crime drama in Kannada. The story follows a woman in search of her missing baby and her nanny after she found them missing after returning early from her work.

Despite starting of as a straight forward investigation drama ,the film delves into various societal,cultural blemishes of our society. The film has tried to touch on several aspects of urban lives within a short period of time which feels overstuffed sometimes. The storytelling approach is what keeps you hooked all the time. The minimalist approach in the film is praiseworthy,the choice of non professional actors adds much to the believablity to the premise.

At the last 20 minutes of the film,it brings quite a surprising genre shift which works very well. There were also frequent oscillations in the film between genres throughout the runtime.

The acting has been quite convincing from the non actors also.

The film excels in delivering almost everything one expects from films belonging to this genre,yet it doesn't seen impactful enough and the editing could have been tighter too.

There's so much conveyed in the movie! Thrilled and sad at the same time.

I love this movie. It shows many aspects of the social problems in India but the same things happen in Korea too so it gives me a chance to think about the women who are struggling with living and supporting their family. I like the ending the most.
