Sweet Kaaram Coffee Review – Rediff.com movies – Rediff.com
That is the form of saas-bahu banter we do not thoughts tolerating on our screens, Divya Nair tells us.
Candy Kaaram Espresso is such a contemporary, zesty, title for a Tamil household entertainer. And the title montage does justice by respiration life into easy, nostalgia-inducing stuff you’d discover in most South Indian properties.
Created by Reshma Ghatala, SKC introduces us to a middle-class household in Chennai the place the boys take the ladies with no consideration, as they’ve the ultimate phrase within the selections of the ladies of their life.
Harm by their behaviour and perspective, three girls — a widowed grandmother and mother-in-law, a dejected mom and a daughter — resolve to go on a street journey hoping to show the boys a lesson. The ladies discreetly pack their belongings and hit the street in a single day.
Starring actors Lakshmi, Madhoo and Santhy, the eight-episode sequence takes us on a joyride by way of their emotional turmoil from a troubled previous, fears, unfulfilled goals and expectations as they encounter new folks and adventures alongside the way in which.
What begins off as a trio’s unplanned, impromptu, escape journey quickly turns into a wonderful journey of self-discovery for 3 unbiased girls, who help one another whereas rekindling their bonds of friendship as a household.
You quickly realise that Sundari (Lakshmi) will not be actually grieving the lack of her boyfriend-turned-husband as her son and household expects her to.
Kaveri (Madhoo) sacrificed her love and reward for music and selected to stay a dutiful spouse and doting mom.
The tomboyish Niveditha (Santhy) is struggling to decide on between her unwavering ardour for cricket and a real companion for all times.
Though these girls have been residing beneath the identical roof for over twenty years, it’s stunning how the easy thought of freedom and escapism persuades them to assume independently and go after their goals.
There are such a lot of heartening moments in SKC that it is laborious to choose only one.
The scene wherein Niveditha asks her homemaker mother if she ought to select ardour or love is one in all my favourites.
The query makes Kaveri’s eyes gleam with delight as a result of it is the primary time her reticent daughter has acknowledged her mom and requested her one thing essential hoping, fairly trusting, that she is going to assist her with the proper reply.
It is a scene crammed with so many feelings, written and executed superbly.
For Kaveri, who has spent her whole life making an attempt to play the right spouse, daughter-in-law and mom, these little moments of acknowledgement is all that she craves for.
One other scene that involves thoughts is the awkward however trustworthy dialog between Rajarathnam and Kaveri, a hardworking couple, who’ve forgotten what it means to precise love to one another. It is a essential dialog written with innocent intent that can most likely enchantment to Indian homemakers, possibly our moms and grandmothers as effectively.
The endearing lead forged and supporting actors guarantee that you’re drawn into their lives and keep invested of their journeys for the eight odd hours, every episode is roughly 50 minutes lengthy.
Govind Vasantha’s stirring music is an absolute deal with.
The title observe was distinctly just like Kaathalae Kaathalae from 96.
The makers — Bejoy Nambiar, Krishna Marimuthu and Swathi Raghuraaman — deserve credit score for placing collectively a pleasant sequence that’s enjoyable to look at and suggest.
The size, one might argue, might have been minimize quick by two or extra episodes, whereas nonetheless retaining the essence of the story.
A particular point out to the costume group for his or her impeccable selection of saris, outfits and equipment worn by the characters.
It’s these particulars within the screenplay that make you wish to ignore the failings, particularly the overdramatic Lakshmi (in some scenes).
Total, it appeared like an prolonged female model of the Malayalam movie Charlie, the place you randomly stumble upon good-hearted folks on an surprising escape journey that adjustments your life.
The ultimate episode ends with a cliffhanger which makes me marvel if we are able to count on a season 2 as a result of that is the form of saas-bahu banter we do not thoughts tolerating on our screens.
