It's one of those movies that's worth talking about! The main theme is all about non-violence and truth, which instantly reminds us of Mahatma Gandhi and everything he stood for. The story centers around a young village girl, a school student, who's deeply influenced by her grandfather, a devoted follower of Gandhi. This whole idea of promoting non-violence feels so relevant today, given the state of the world.
Another beautiful aspect of the film is how it talks about the importance of trees and how heartbreaking it is to see one cut down. That part really hits hard and makes you think.
The story and characters are pretty engaging overall, though I'll admit the narration is a bit slow in places. There are plenty of important scenes in the screenplay, but not all of them stand out-some just feel like they're there to move the story along.
Sukriti, who plays the lead, was a pleasant surprise. I'm not saying she's an amazing actor, but she's done a really good job-better than I expected, especially since she's the daughter of a popular filmmaker. The rest of the cast did fine too, nothing groundbreaking but solid performances.
The background music works well with the film-it's not super memorable, but it fits. The cinematography is okay; nothing extraordinary, but it gets the job done. Production values are decent, so it looks like they've used their budget wisely.
The direction by Padmavathi is good, though the film leans a bit into a documentary style, which might not be everyone's cup of tea. The climax felt a bit too dramatic for my taste, but it didn't ruin the experience.
All in all, it's definitely a film worth watching. If you're not into this genre for a theatrical watch, at least catch it when it releases on OTT. It's one of those movies that deserves a chance!
