Sara's is a movie released on Amazon Prime in India. It is a Malayalam movie.
The female actor Anna Ben on whom the movie is focussed is only a few movies old. She is a girl whose bubbly nature had captured the audience through the movie - Kumbalangi Nights'.
In this movie, she portrays a female script writer who does not like to give birth to children. She befriends a person who thinks the same and they get on well despite the family's misgivings. She does go on to become a success in her career.
This post is not a spoiler, so I will not reveal the story plot in detail.
This post is about what went wrong in the movie.
Many of the dialogues which the actors deliver have a double meaning. The movie is on prime which means that there will be a family audience and it can cause discomfort if the dialogues are so.
The female actor who is bubbly is just that. Her inability to transform herself into the character is what makes this whole movie border on the flop side. All the other actors are very good which makes one feel that they could have used another female lead actor like Rejisha Vijayan instead. When a movie is being produced, the director should try to imagine others too for the role or conduct an audition which unfortunately is not the norm here in Malayalam. If they had done an audition, then this would not have happened.
The expressions on the face and lack of it are what make this young actor a misfit for acting. Let us compare Ranveer Singh who acted in both Padmavat and Gully Boy. You never realize that the person is acting in a movie and that is how a movie should be made.
The same director has produced a classic by the name given above that we can still watch without being bored and also laugh. Muttashi gadha, the sequel was also equally entertaining. So, this proves that the director is good and that he should have made a better choice.
The OTT platforms are now the craze and with the given situation, the only possible one to release movies but it should not mean that the standard is lowered.
