Refreshing take on the age-old expectation of womanhood = motherhood. Brilliant story that's executed well.

This movie would have made some sense if it happened on a deserted highway of some sort. Here you have a crazy man running over people and jabbing knives into them in a crowded restaurant but no one thought of calling the cops? And more importantly, why didn't the lady just stop the car and call the cops or get help from THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AND CARS that were literally all over the town? Nail-biting? action-packed? Preposterous sounds more like it.

Boring. The slowest 2+ hours of my life.

A cut above the traditional Hindi horror movie. Some of it is fairly predictable and some downright bizarre. Dibakar Banerjee's story seemed metaphorically too close to reality. Watchable, for sure.

One of the most touching movies I've seen in a long time. Everything about the movie is achingly beautiful, right from the innocence of the children and how easily they believe the words and worlds that adults create for them, to the picture perfect cinematography which captures the beauty of kuttanad in all its glory, and the music that adds to the richness of each moment. I wish more people made movies like this. Didn't even know about it and happened to discover it on Netflix. This movie will stay in your mind, long after you're done watching it. Will go to bed saying a silent prayer for all the little kids like Kuttapayi, hoping that there's a God out there to listen to them.
