Wonder Women

English based multilingual film from Malayalam cinema!

SonyLiv

Director- Anjali Menon

No surprises here, am a fan girl. There are very few directors who have never disappointed- Mira Nair & Anjali Menon. All others are waveforms.

If I had a first day first show craving it would be for Anjali Menon's films. And sitting in a departure lounge with a long wait for boarding was the perfect setup to watch on SonyLiv this film that had released straight onto OTT just hours ago.

A powerhouse cast- of pregnant women. There's the arty Nora( Nitya Menen), the bubbly Veni ( PadmaPriya) the bindaas Saya( Sayanora), the simple Gracy( Archana Padmini) , the anxious Jaya( Amrita Subhash) and the sourpuss Mini( Parvathy Thiruvothu)and their antenatal class conductor Nanditha, the evergreen Nadia Moidu.

And with this retinue of women come mothers in law, husbands, boyfriends- anxious, uncomfortable, excited , absent .

Anjali Menon weaves a beautiful script through the lives and moments of these women from different backgrounds, outlooks, expectations bonding together as they course through antenatal classes familiarising themselves with their bodies in pregnancy, what's to come and responsibility of the baby ahead. This could have easily come off as scripted, tacky, pretentious and so fake - but that's the Anjali difference. Every woman brings in her own persona of realities, of her insecurities and her foibles all of which are so relatable. And the wonder and strength of female camaderie is so relatable as well. As well as the insecurities of the men involved.

She has you smiling, laughing, misting up - and for a brief hour and a half - lost in wonder with the Wonder Women.

This one isn't just for women , it's for everyone. Relatable to all. As for me, I will see it again on my home screen and wonder again!

I watched this movie when i was 6 months pregnant. Loved the movie so so much. I literarily not want the movie to end. I can connect with each character soo easily. I cant hold back my tears. That time i was going through a prenatal depression phase and this movie basically uplifted my whole concept of being pregnant and to be a parent. Thank you for making such a beautiful movie which give a light to my life again.

Now being a parent of a 2 years old boy i give just one advice to my mom to be friends that 'u r not alone' in this journey.

As a movie i am not aware of its commercial value as a pure joy and entertainment. But its a beautiful piece of art.

Thank you.

Of course, Wonder Women is not in the same line in comparison with what Anjali Menon has done earlier. This 'short film' is made exclusively for OTT and this is also a movie made during Covid tough times. The subject is fresh, never seen before as a fictional film. Amazing bunch of actors. It was lovely watching Nadia Moidu on screen after a while. Individual performances helped in pulling off the film. Parvathy, Nithya, Padmapriya, Sayanora, Marathi actor Amrutha Subhash etc are all great. Archana Padmini - I love what she has done. A bunch of unknown actors also made the film fresh like in the case of mother in law.

I still don't know why it's called a malayalam movie. The subject is significant but the director has misinterpreted it. I guess only those who speak English can have pregnancy. Utter waste of time. All different characters gathered under a roof. And it is not clear how they are managing to reduce their stress and getting ready to welcome their new guest. Parvati and padmapriya proved once again their talents. Nadia also performed well. But the matter doesn't have the support of a story line. It could have categorized under a documentary. Never watch a movie with much expectations regarding its director or script writer.
