However, Charu tells her mother that she wants to go to Canada to pursue higher studies. Her mother doesn’t want to let her down.

Analysis

Minnaminungu is a fantastic movie. The movie’s storyline is impressive as it shows the daily struggles of a single mother especially when she belongs to a low-income family. Therefore, the story is universally relevant. It is drama-based. The filmmakers in the film did a fantastic job by making this film. The acting skills of the actors were great. Specially, Surabhi Lakshmi did an impressive work. She always carried her character in her eyes even though it did not have a name. It was outstanding. The film also has an unexpected ending, which is pretty impressive. But the movie is just too sad. It will bring tear in your eyes.

Not only the script, but the overall execution of the script is elegant. However, in latter part of the film it feels to be dragged forcefully. The chemistry between the main actors and supporting actors is palpable.The film has an outstanding cinematography. The shots taken are amazing as well. The film’s songs were intense and sad that added depth to the movie.

What's not there?
