Simply marvellous.
A beautiful and sensitive portrayal of life of a differently abled girl with spirits always soaring so high .
The movie awakens us to the challenges faced by these people to live a normal life , difficulty they have in the little everyday things that we take for granted , the courage and energy their families have to support their special needs , the lack of facilities and sensitivity in India for these people and how they just crave to be treated at par .
It truthfully and subtly puts across that in spite of the physical limitations, they have the same aspirations , desires , hormones and the same spark for life if given a fair chance .
No words would be fit enough to describe Kalki’s performance. She truly deserves a standing ovation .
Revathi was excellent and so were the rest of the cast .
Hats off to Shonali Bose for not only taking up this bold subject but also to have pulled it off with such aplomb .
The movie is not for those who cannot handle slow movies or tough subjects .
