Margarita With A Straw: Movie review

Margarita with a straw is a tale of a disable girl and the combination of an exceptional theme with a strong story flow. It is a feminine movie which leaves a long lasting effect in viewers mind. Kalki Koechlin grabs attention by the character of Laila. It is a brilliant representation of the character of a vivacious girl with cerebral palsy. She never expects sympathy vote and stomps off. Physical inability was unable to touch her talent, intelligence or emotions. Sexual desire was visible throughout the film. Her strong side was supporting parental care which is rare in Indian families. It brings a strong chemistry in between a mother and daughter.

She was a student of Delhi University but her career hikes as she received a scholarship for New York University for as a Creative Writing student. She meets with Khanum there and started enjoying porn movies. A relationship develops in between them. The story flows with their relation. It reminds me the role of Priyanka Chopra in Barfi movie.

 Shonali Bose directed film has already selected as the best feature film at Washington fest. It explored a strong side of Indian film industry. Sayani Gupta (Khanum) was strong on her role. Don’t miss it. You will know how strong the desire of a disable girl can be? It is unique and will make a long lasting effect.
