Movie Review
Film- Uyare
Director- Manu Ashokan
The word Uyare means 'rise' in Malayalam. This movie is a welcome change for viewers as it shows the female lead in the main seat or literally the cock-pit as opposed to have a male hero who lifts the film on his broad shoulders. The story is about fourteen year old Pallavi Raveendran who aspires to become a pilot and soar into the skies. This confident and smart girl is gradually going towards her goal when they show her goals having a hurdle in the form of the love of her life Govind.
The characters are believable and the story line is gripping. It is a story of victory over the challenges that we face in life. It is a story of love, revenge, friendship and bonding.The film takes up the cause of acid attacks and the struggles of the victims of acid attacks. With this as a part of the story line, a comparison with the Hindi film Chhapaak on the same lines is obvious.Both the films are about acid attacks but the similarity ends there. This film Uyare is exemplary. It is much more about the attack It is about hope and bonding, determination and grit.
The film takes us on a journey with the female protagonist who is encouraged by her friends and family to rise against all odds and achieve her goal of flying. The male lead is shown as selfish and extremely possessive.This leads to differences and Pallavi makes up her mind to break her relationship with Govind. How he takes her rejection and what the turn of events after that forms the rest of the storyline.It is about the survival of Pallavi in those trying situations.
All the actors have done a commendable job. The film is inspirational without being too preachy. The acid victim is not shown as one who easily gives up on hope. She fights back and comes out victorious. The way is not an easy one yet the film shows that with the right people to support us like our friends and family members, one can surpass all hurdles.
The songs and the background music is melodious. In all it is a great watch .
Please watch this Netflix original.
