Sara's

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.

The overall acting n performance of each character is good,but the script of the movie can give a wrong message to the society.

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.

Felt as a flop effort!

Om shanti oshana had a lot of wonderful moments,thought provoking and ultimately entertaining .This one has a shaky script,scenes appear dramatic and many cast seems misfit.

Sarah is a struggling associate director who wishes to become a director, she works hard for it and on the way she meets Jeevan who is an MBA graduate and had resigned his job in Bangalore and lives in her sister's apartment for the time being. Sarah and Jeevan find the connection between them because they do not want children, they gradually fall for one another and end up getting married. Their smooth navigation life soon encounters unhappy problems as something unforeseen happens.

It is a good movie and looks at life from the view of a woman. The problems that women face when it comes to their career and the struggle to balance their family life are portrayed in this film. Many people may not agree with the plot of the film, saying that it sends out the wrong message, but I don't find anything wrong with it. It's wonderful movie and has some meaningful message for the society.
