2024. Malayalam.
Award winning film with lots of stuff written about it so I was waiting for it. It's well told, slowly builds up to a dramatic and unexpected climax. No wonder its won may awards. Its about a young couple Kesav (Roshan Mathew) and Amritha who go to Sri Lanka in the middle of a political crisis - and get embroiled in circumstances which strain their relationship.
That one moment when the Amritha (Darshana) takes a loaded gun from the waiter at the hotel they are staying says it all. On a holiday we somehow seem to stretch our boundaries, feel more powerful, and go into risky places we normally would not otherwise. The film is layered - the socio-politico-economic aspect in society, marriage, religion, commerce and its impact on lives.
Slow, but I loved it.
