Positive:
The film distinguishes itself with its original depiction of a contemporary love predicament and its deft handling of past and present. Thematic threads are deftly connected, revisiting important aspects that function as parables for adjusting to imperfect circumstances. The film has a bright, fresh vitality, particularly when it comes to sequences that depict the bliss of deep talks had when intoxicated.
What’s Not Good:
‘Little Miss Rawther’ is a quirky film, but it lacks the emotional resonance to hold the attention of the viewer. The film’s many time jumps lead to inconsistent character development, therefore some sequences should be clearer and more consistent with the intended message. Jokes and insignificant comments frequently ruin potentially profound moments, making it difficult to explore deeper subjects.
Examining the Screenplay:
Shersha Sherief, who is one of the main performers and the writer for “Little Miss Rawther,” exhibits a profound artistic skill in incorporating story nuances. The screenplay deftly examines the nature of compatibility and love, inspiring reflection on how people handle flawed circumstances. Even if the script has these intelligent touches, it still requires work to make a strong emotional effect. Potentially deep moments, like AB’s constant push-up routine or Naina’s Cinderella-like experience, sometimes stick out as individual sequences rather than organically blending into the larger story, leaving the spectator perplexed.
Star-Studded Performance:
The primary performers in “Little Miss Rawther,” Shersha Sherief and Gouri G. Kishan, give middling performances that are neither incredibly good nor really bad. Sherief, who also writes the screenplay, gives his character Abhijith a relaxed, stoner vibe that perfectly captures the soul of a man motivated by his passion for movies. As Naina Rawther, Kishan represents the meticulousness and sense of responsibility that come with the position, adding to the film’s examination of the idea that opposites attract in intimate relationships.
Although both performers give strong performances, the story’s many time jumps and the characters’ uneven character development prevent them from making a strong emotional connection with the viewer. The whole effect of the characters’ depictions is impacted by their lack of complexity, which leaves the performances in the center, neither improving nor detracting from the viewing experience. Although their performances don’t quite reach the pinnacles of greatness, the principal actors still manage to project a certain amount of sincerity that adds to the film’s beauty despite its oddities.
Direction, Music:
In “Little Miss Rawther,” Vishnu Dev’s directing demonstrates a deft handling of the film’s eccentricity and colorful vibrancy. Dev’s ability to capture the sense of young energy contributes to the film’s distinct perspective on modern romance and makes for an interesting visual experience.
But “Little Miss Rawther’s” song isn’t memorable enough to stick in your memory. Although the music enhances certain parts of the movie and fits in well with others, it doesn’t have the kind of memorable quality that might make the whole experience more enjoyable. Notwithstanding this drawback, Dev’s directing successfully adds to the quirky and conceptually exploratory nature of the picture.
Final Word:
Little Miss Rawther turns out to be a unique stoner comedy-drama that deviates from accepted narrative conventions. Embracing themes of premarital intimacy and kind breakups, it offers a distinctive counterpoint to the violent stories that are usually associated with Kerala. The film may not be to everyone’s taste, but it stands out for its unique depiction of mutually agreed-upon breakups and the continuation of friendship after divorce.
Although it makes an effort to mimic certain aspects of “Rockstar (2011)” by referencing and taking inspiration from the word “dark,” the film’s unusual themes make it a niche selection better suited for people who value artistic departures from the standard than an all-around crowd-pleaser.
