Sakutumba Sametha (2022)
Refreshing and fresh plot
Main points why this movie scores:
One:Movies usually gloss over family, which is shown to be perfect and glossy. Reality is that partners fight, bicker and are at loggerheads with each other. No husband and wife will hold hands and sing their way through life.
Two:Men too have problems finding partners. Not like earlier days when a man could pick and choose. Its not easy to find a girl as these days, women too have their expectations and wont settle for anyone who likes them.
Three: Women are independent and are not always interested in marrying as soon as a guy proposes.
The above points make this movie stand out. The cast, is perfect, the protagonists as well as others like Achyuta Kumar, Rekha Kudligi, Krishna Hebbale and Jayalaxmi Patil, who bring their roles to life. Jayalaxmi Patil, in the role of an aunt, breathes life into the role, proving that the length of the role isn't correlated with the impact on the movie.
The heroine , as a confused girl, looks morose throughout the movie. The hero, by contrast, comes across as a better person, who, as the girls mother says, can be a good husband. The story line is good but definitely could have been better. One good thing is that the director doesnt go overboard in showing the fights and cold vibes, its subtly done. A nice outing for the entire family, though.
The Kashmir Files (2022)
Bitter truth files
We are so used to seeing glitz and glamour, interspersed with songs, where, mostly, females gyrate, wearing skimpy clothing. This makes us immune to the horrors of certain things and brushes things under the carpet. This movie deals with such atrocities which were carried out and most importantly, being carried out, not just physically but mentally and emotionally. Especially with the youth of the country. The way history is tweaked and the appeasing for votes. Selective reporting, creating shame about our own culture, thinking that's it's 'cool' to disown anything which has been there from many years, 'progressive' to be disdainful of our brethren, put others on pedestal and so on. To accept that there are institutions and people who use our resources and backstab us. Watch this movie if you have the guts to accept the bitter, unpalatable truth, agar 'himmat he', like the hero is asked, if he can accept the harsh reality. Also, they haven't gone overboard with violence and gory, as they do in many mainstream movies. The entire movie is held on a tight leash, yet manages to convey the message very aptly.
