Lijomol confides in her mother, Rohini, about being in love. Unlike most Indian parents, Rohini is more than ready to welcome her daughter’s ‘man’ with open arms—until she learns that Lijomol’s partner is a woman.
What follows is a series of layered conversations on queerness, sexual identity, and individuality, making space for a deeper, more nuanced discourse.
Director Jayaprakash Radhakrishnan has given a beautiful film about a simple yet very important issue.
Although many films have talked about love between a man and a woman, this film beautifully portrays the love between two women.
This film talks about how the society views lesbians and how the family reacts to it when it happens in our homes through excellent dialogues and scenes.
There are only six characters in the film, and the entire story takes place inside one house.
The four female characters and two male characters in the film have delivered excellent performances.
Rohini and Lijomol in particular have acted very realistically and at the same time have understood the emotions of the character.
Also, Vineeth, Kalesh, Deepa, and Anusha have delivered excellent performances. Deepa’s oneline counters have worked well.
Sri Saravanan’s cinematography adds extra strength to the film. Kannan Narayanan’s musical score has worked out well.
