At first, Sweet Kaaram Coffee appears to be slow paced feel good drama especially in the first three episodes, your typical Tamil family patriarchy with a stereotypical breadwinner financier bossing around his son and wife. Niveditha character played by Santhy is the the most endearing one which I remained invested in through out the series. Finding her frequently placed at dichotomies between her passion for cricket and love is dramatized with great tact. Even for a Gautam Vasudev Menon production, this silver screen octet breaks cliched love story and does so at various generations thereby interwining politics, sports, family values all while consistently bringing beautiful backdrop and engaging background score. I wish there was a finer insight between North Indian families as he did with the three women, however the only Hindi scenes are that of Vikrams and the poor farmer family in Pune. I easily fell in love with the Paati character played by Sundari and her choice of tshirts felt like a mockumentary to GenZ way of living. The sapphic sismance between Sundari and her long lost love Deva also deals with playwrighted marriages which are common in India in her generation. This show is a whisk of freedom for anyone who feels colonized or imposed with boundaries. Overall, I wished the show could flow into a tighter knot for Nivedita and her selection for Ranji trophy but hopefully this will be covered in Season2.
