Heroine Anjali falls in love with a fellow student while studying in school. Her parents find out about this and scold her and they transfer her to another school. Anjali gets angry with her parents and says, “I will listen to everything you say until this school, and after that I will live as I want.” As she said, she leaves home during her college days and stays in a girls’ hostel. There, she travels through love and bed relationships with a senior student, realizes that love is false and regrets it, gets angry. Later, during her work life, she travels through a life of living together, especially a life of fighting, and finally finds out what love is for her or not? The rest of the story is about whether she finds love for herself or not.
Rather than trying to control women by saying, “Is that wrong? Is this necessary at this age?”, the film speaks to the idea that if women are left free, they will realize what is wrong and what is right in their lives. Director Varsha Bharath has very realistically told how women are enslaved in every era and how they recover from it.
Anjali Sivaraman, who plays the heroine of the film, moves the entire film very interestingly with her performance. Even though the screenplay and visuals move slowly, Anjali Sivaraman’s performance makes you forget about it and enjoy the film. She carries the entire film on her shoulders, from melting in memory of her lover, knowing that she has been cheated, to explaining her condition to the doctor, petting the cat, and crying over the death of her grandmother.
The character of Shanthipriya, who plays the heroine’s mother, and her performance in it are realistic.
Saranya Ravichandran, Hirtu Haroon, DJ, Sushang Pommareddypalli are also suitable choices for the characters.
Cinematographers Preetha Jayaraman, Jagadish Ravi, and Prince Anderson’s cinematography makes the scenes flow naturally. Amit Trivedi’s music is also no slouch. Radha Sridhar’s editing, although the film moves slowly, has neatly conveyed the heroine’s emotions to the audience.
Written and directed by Varsha Bharat, she has clearly depicted how the chains of slavery that are locked on women are transferred to the next generation, the struggle of those trying to break free from it, and the minds of women who travel by convincing themselves.
Director Varsha Bharath, who has written the screenplay to reflect the lives of a specific community and upper class people, is a major weakness of the film, as it does not speak about a general society that views women as secondary, regardless of their community or standard of living. He has directed the film in a way that only a specific group of people can understand.
