Wonder Women

Anjali Menon hires an incredible ensemble of actors for Wonder Women, a film that attempts to perceive the pregnancy phase a little differently. Some pregnant women from various walks of life have gathered at Sumana, a pregnancy care center run by Nandita (Nadiya Moidu) to address their feelings, anxieties, and struggles. It's a pertinent, poignant theme, of course, and in the able, feel-good hands of Anjali Menon. But at just 75 minutes, the film lacks a definite flow to it. Scenes are simply stitched together without connective tissue, and it's just the warm performances that keep it afloat. Nithya Menen and Padmapriya look dashing and offer some solace in a largely inept and cursory screenplay.

Parvathy Thiruvothu felt wasted in an emotionless role which probably could have been impactful in a longer film. Amruta Subhash puts up a good act, but the predictable writing renders her a mere unifying device in the rushed climax. Nadiya Moidu is lovely, and I wish her character too had better emotional payoffs. The men are conceived more kindly through Menon's eyes, and while that's a breath of fresh air, they end up being mostly inconsequential and forgettable, with generic problems and generic solutions. Noone's questioning the intent of hope yet it's hard to see why a writer like Anjali Menon chose this specific storytelling style for this subject. Govind Vasantha's music and Manesh Madhavan's cinematography also don't do much to elevate the film.

This movie got me in tears, beautiful acting by all the actors, Parvathy is really a good actress, Nithya is the cutie pie she had my heart. This is not about a movie with exciting plot or it doesn't even preach anything, it's just to feel, exactly how the nature is to be felt. Great effort by the actors to make the movie an emotional affair and experience for the viewers. I have nothing critical to say about the movie, neither am I here to be a critic, I'm just here to express my gratitude for making such a movie to the makers and team. Women, watch this one, it's made for 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.

If you really want to see feminism in Indian cinema, this is the movie to watch. Men supporting women, women being fearless and women supporting women. Please take the time to watch it. Any Indian language + English speaker should try to watch it :)

The acting is really superb, specially Amruta Subhash and Nadiya Moidu. The men who have been cast with the women are also great. Along with this, the plot moves quickly as it tells the stories of several different women. The lighting and design is also fabulous. There is room for improvement in terms of the cinematography. I am very excited to see what Anjali Menon works on next.
