Sanguisughe

This movie could have been so much; but it ended up being a half-developed mashup of half-nothings. Characters felt under-developed and so did the dialogues. Honestly, it feels like it was made to be a knock-your-socks-off-and-forces-you-to-think but it fails. I am disappointed on the story's account which deserved to be told in a better way.

And it did meet the level of curiosity. Something so original, revealing the harsh truth of the happenings to the girl in some cities.

A 27min concise and well articulated message of the movie has shed more light than anything else on this topic can ever do. Now, I do recall 'leeches' section in hospitals during my stay in Hyderabad many years ago. Never realised the deep rooted ideologies (or lack of it) or the ulterior reasons behind the popularity. Would be curious to know/research if this practise is more by choice or by force / unavoidable circumstances, as in this movie. Every woman (irrespective of religion or age) should be sensitised with this aspect and take a leaf or two out from this movie and this book of reality. Hope more like this can be created and shared !
