as a struggling mother who to be precise does not have a name in the film. This film has been directed by Anil Thomas.
Plot :
The story of the film revolves around a strong headed single mother and her daughter who is very close to her. Charu, her daughter, wants to move to Canada with her boyfriend and doesn’t let her mother know about it. Mother works in the housekeeping department of a company and is very determined with her job. Carrying out odd jobs to meet her daughter’s needs, she tries to sacrifice everything to gather six lakhs for her education thinking that she is leaving the country to study abroad.
Analysis :
Bringing out the best from the leading lady, Anil has offered nothing new. The extent of the confined rooms and dingy cells have been used well. Considering the great contribution of Surabhi, there was another actor who performed flawlessly in the movie and it was no one else, but Balakrishnan. Anil has got good technical support.
Star Performance :
Surabhi Lakshmi taking the limelight with her effortless acting was the only consideration of the film, else calling it to be a film on an average belt. A story that didn’t really enfold the vehemence of the audiences’ reactions was taken to a greater height because of the main character of the mother played by Surabhi.
What’s there?
1. The storyline was inspired by a television show ‘Deal or No Deal’ which encouraged the people who were monetarily not sound, especially women to participate in the game show.
2. Centralizing the film on a single mother has inspired many women, a movie with a message as you may say.
What’s not there?
1. Intensification of the situations was nowhere to be found, the storyline could have been more heartfelt.
2. The characters were too verbal with their communication and left no room for the emotions to be conveyed to the audience.
Verdict :
Raising a single child is back-breaking, so if you don’t mind shedding a tear for how the movie has portrayed the upbringing of the child, Minnaminungu is a film with values and is worth a while of your time.
