Every once in a while we get movies like this which has a simple story told in an unique way.. To begin with I didn't know this movie existed.. It was on Aha OTT and wanted to spend some time watching soemthing before going out on a week end..

For the first 20 minutes of the film, I never had a sense of watching a movie.. It wasn't moving anywhere and the over all visuals made me feel like it's a TV serial rather than a movie.. I wanted to switch to something else but still gave it a try.. Surprisingly, when the lead actress herself dies, I wanted to know what's happening..

Oh my.. What an unique way of story telling.. I guessed the reason ,to an extent, for her death at least 50 minutes away but still it was unique.. The climax scene was emotional..

It's a movie with low visuals, CGI which is non-existent, a simple plot, but an unique way of story telling.. If this story was made with some top tier actors and grand visuals, it would surely have been a box office blockbuster..

Its my first review in imdb if ur a comercial movie lover pls dont watch this movie u wont understand the plot . If ur r a ture movie lover jus watch casually u will get to know y iam praising this movie. First i thought its a horror movie with some gosht, sudden horror sounds and showing terror faces but its not . Its a pure gem of movie with one corpse they ploted the whole moive i preferred to watch in ott so that u can understand the story.the girl who died and her corpse unwilling to move from her home until all truth came out evey one in the house committed some crimes finally how her corpse left the home is the climax . Don't miss it.

Emakathagi is a film that takes its time, and that works in its favor. The story unfolds gradually, with the reveal of the protagonist's death handled in a subtle, almost understated way. It doesn't rely on dramatic twists-it lets the emotion build slowly.

The suicide mystery angle is approached with care. By the time the story reaches its climax, it feels genuinely emotional without being overly sentimental. The film uses metaphor and symbolism effectively, without overcomplicating things.

It's not a loud or fast-paced film, but it leaves a mark. The atmosphere, the pacing, and the emotional undercurrent all come together well. I gave it a 10/10 because I appreciate when a film is confident enough to be quiet, and still say something meaningful.

This movie is good in its treatment of social issue like honor killing in a different way. How the soul refuses to leave this worldd after death without the world knowing why?

It is really heart breaking movie but it is not preachy or too tear jerking movie. It is balanced and the rural setting is fantastic ic. The film is director debut but it doesn't look like it. Heroine Roopa is fantastic and so the rest of the caste. And the women takes more central stage in this movie. Overall a good movie.

It might seem the movie is bit slow and first few minutes seems like things moving in many directions with lots of characters and situations going on but it suddenly start makes sense once the death happens. Definitely worth watching.
