Bujji at Anupatti

Durga (Pranithi Sivasankaran) and Saravanan (Karthik Vijay) are transformed by their connection with Bujji. Saravanan, who used to eat meat, changes his mind after seeing Bujji's innocence and promises to never eat goat meat again. However, the children are devastated by their dad's actions and they decide to rescue Bujji by raising money. They skip school and go on a journey, encountering different characters in town. Some are kind and supportive, while others represent the harsh realities of a world where innocence is often taken advantag. So here's the thing: Bujji at Anupatti wants to tug at your heartstrings with a classic tale of childhood innocence and animal compassion. Durga's heartbreak when Bujji disappears is supposed to be our emotional anchor, the driving force behind the entire narrative. It's a familiar formula, one that's worked countless times in children's stories, but in Bujji at Anupatti, things don't click.

The film has its heart in the right place. There's a certain sweetness to the way Durga and her brother Saravanan interact with Bujji, and their determination to rescue the goat is undeniably endearing. It's also not preachy, though the subject is very preachable. There are some nice little touches like how they show Saravanan turning down meat. It's done subtly, and we want more of that to connect with the film.
