Sara's (2021)

Movie is sending a wrong message. So I don't recommend it. It is NOT cool to kill babies for the sake an uncertain carrier. Babies are blessing not a burden.

Fmovies: It is a really good movie, Jude Antony (director) has done a great job here for presenting the judgements, social exclusions, ridiculous parent expectations and society and its beliefs when it comes to pregnancy and parenthood all in fun watching .Regardless of their gender, everyone should watch Sara's as it is not only informative but entertaining as well. Ignore the negative comments here (it's clear that problem is with them).

On paper this might not be a great script or story. But the way it has been showcased shows the talent in the director, technicians and the actors. The message,though is force-fed towards the end, is apt and the need of the hour. This made me give it a couple of points more in my rating

Kudos to the cast and crew to have the sense to belive the message and the script. Watch once, ideally with the family.

Sara's fmovies. The best thing about Sara'S is that it stays focused on its titular character Sara (Anna Ben) and her perspective, over all else. Director Jude Anthany Joseph is back with yet another simple, feel-good family comedy touching upon a delicate topic - that of (choice in) childbirth. And once again, we have well-written characters being played by neat performers. While Anna Ben and Sunny Wayne form the lead pair of Sara & Jeevan, a host of family-member characters also take up screen-space.

The best among those are writer Benny P Nayarambalam (in his acting debut, playing Sara's sweet dad) and Mallika Sukumaran (playing Jeevan's overbearing mom). Wayne's performance felt fine in the first half but a bit plastic in the second. Anna Ben continues to impress with her uniquely cute mannerisms and puts up a serious face when needed. After a breezy first hour with equal dollops of romance, situational humour (that works in parts), and a Shaan Rahman score, writer Akshay Hareesh brings up the dilemma. Sara never wanted to have kids. Now, she's forced to choose between her budding filmmaker career and having a child.

Sara's problems, most of which arise owing to her gender, are realistically portrayed in the movie. That being said, her character still comes with many privileges - a doting understanding dad, a swanky apartment, and the lack of a financial struggle, to mention a few. In reality, the issues faced by women are multitudinous. In its journey to a predictably positive finale, Sara'S also gives memorable arcs to characters like Anjali (Meera Nair), a seasoned actress. Certain clichés such as the presence of Siddique's character only to provide decisional closure (oh there's more, plenty more!) and Vineeth Sreenivasan humming Shaan's melodies simply can't be avoided, I guess. A movie star seething on set is yet another tedious trope.

A feel good film with a very socially relevant message. Great performance by Anna Ben. Love the film.

If your spend your time watching Sara's you won't be disappointed. Simple story but very much relevant. Jude Antony keeps giving us amazing movies to remember. Loved it.
