Poignant, thoughtful, sensitive, bold........
It's a Kannada movie, and especially for that, I'd say it's a great effort at breaching existing boundaries.
It's a story that revolves around a woman who is caught between her inability to get over the loss of her husband, yet accepting and dealing with her emotional and sexual desires.
She's a successful corporate professional, bold enough to acknowledge what she wants, be what she is......have the courage to say 'No' when needed, and ask for what she wants when needed. And this in a society that is yet not mature enough to handle her.
The male protagonist is a down to earth guy, caught in his own expectations of himself in terms of a job and wife, unhappy with both.
The complexity of the situation, the emotional dynamics between the two through the varying dimensions of the space.....how they evolve to understand each other through the relationship, is gently and sensitively handled.
I also liked that they have a therapist and how the casual sessions between Gowri and him provide perspective that enables her to resolve core internal conflicts.
For taking on the woman's perspective, and handling it so boldly and sensitively....well done Mansore !!
