Take #6 : Margarita, With a Straw



Image result for margarita with a straw imagesThis is a touching, sensitive film that will force you to sit up and take notice of Kalki Koechlin, if you hadn't already. 

We have in the past year or so seen a significant number of films with ladies in leading roles, and this one is right up there with the best of them. 

Kalki is ably supported by some stunning cameos from relative unknowns........amidst crisp editing and beautiful music. 

Shonali Bose, take a bow. 

People, if you can digest a hefty helping of realism, you need to see this film. However, It was unfortunate to see the hall less than half-full on a Saturday afternoon......these are, after all, the same people who thronged the halls for "Barfi!" some years ago. 

It looks like we're ready for a dramatisation of a physically challenged person's life - but we can't deal with a few pages from their diary, eh ?
