The auspicious ‘Navratri’ celebration is all here and this weekend will be celebrated as the ‘Vijayadasmi’ or the 10th day of victory as per a blend of historical and mythological significance. The basic concept of this weekend is an awareness about the conservation of Mother Earth and spreading the consciousness of motherhood.
Binged would like to recommend a flick that should be on the viewer’s watchlist on this occasion which can be acknowledging and engaging at the same time.
‘Kumari’ (Eng. Miss [Ms.]) is a 2022 Indian Malayalam-language mythological fantasy film written and directed by Nirmal Sahadev, where producers Giju John, Sreejith Sarang, Jakes Bejoy, and the director himself bankroll the effort for Fresh Lime Sodas Productions.
The technical labour includes the handling of cinematography by Abraham Joseph, editing overseen by Sreejith Sarang, and music composed by Jakes Bejoy along with Manikandan Ayyappa respectively.
The story revolves around a naive Kumari who is married off far from home somewhere beyond the western side of Kerala and thereby arrives in a cursed land, she finds the people ready to sacrifice their lives to preserve tradition and power.
The lead character is played by Actor Aishwarya Lakshmi, who has done an average performance despite the role demands, however making it watchable due to the narrative and conception. Other cast includes actors Shine Tom Chacko, Surabhi Lakshmi, Swasika, Tanvi Ram, and Rahul Madhav playing significant roles respectively.
Do make an effort to watch the flick which is streaming on the Netflix platform and Stay tuned in Binged for more updates.
