Ribbon

Kalki - Though she is already one of my favourites, but I used to think that she can only do justice with a character that is outgoing, modern, free-spirited, carefree, super energetic, youthful and somewhat irresponsible but this movie, to a happy surprise, broke that myth in my head. Her character in this movie is an ambitious woman but at the same time is a loving mother who cares a lot about her family and is trying hard to balance the responsibilities of a mother, a wife, a daughter and her career. Kalki perfectly fitted in the character.

Sumeet - I've always seen him in supporting roles and all I could see was that, he is not a bad actor but in this movie he had one of the two lead roles and he was brilliant in his performance! After this movie, he is a new name added in my list of good actors.

This movie is a reality check - deals with all major issues in a married life. A newly married couple find out that you need more ingredients than just love to fuel a marriage. And their relationship starts falling apart by the burden of their work and parenthood. The writing is not superb( ending could have been better ) but it's cruel and real and it's almost impossible for anyone to not relate. It's more from the perspective of the mother and how difficult it is for a working lady to handle a baby while working and all that she has to face at the workplace. So a must watch for girls.

Sumeet Vyas and Kalki Koechlin have done tremendous work and it's good watch( if you are ready to face the reality).

Sahana and Karan are young couples who lives in Mumbai City leading a middle class life. The story of the movie portrays the changes happens to the smooth going life of them and becomes rocky when Sahana got pregnant. It shows how they manage their parenthood along with the jobs, EMI's and meeting the work deadlines.

A realistic and genuine approach to the issues and challenges faced by young couples in marriage life. Kalki and Sumeet both did a really good job as Sahana and Karan, it was a perfect choice for Kalki.

A good low budget gem. Has a documentary feel to it, while intimately looking at a couple's life. You feel you are living with them and that's some achievement. Kalki is a good actress and does her part well but seemed miscast because of her ethnicity for a film that's so close to being real. I did not get why the title is Ribbon though.

It portrays the unprecedented and pragmatic challenges of a couple especially woman in India, the resistances in her organisation during her pregnancy. Then as parent, they came to know their child has been abused. These problems are inevitable and it tests your character as couple - how you can address it as team.

This movie is underrated, I believe people should encourage such initiatives.
