All Guild Reviews of "Sookshmadarshini"
Nazriya Nazim, Basil Joseph Headline a Cleverly Written Thriller That Delivers a Satisfying High
Nazriya Nazim and Basil Joseph star in an intriguing thriller that turns what could easily have been a run-of-the-mill film into an elevating experience
For prying eyes, the most innocuous action might seem suspicious. Priyadarshini (Nazriya Nazim) is the one with a bit of nosy behaviour in the neighbourhood in which Sookshmadarshini is set. At times, she almost behaves like the kind of neighbour that no one would ever wish to have. We get an interesting character detail that she is a microbiology graduate, for whom a Sookshmadarshini (microscope) is a part of her trade. Just that her lens is trained more on her neighbour, rather than microbes.
Nazriya Nazim, Basil Joseph Light Up This Hitchcockian Comedy
Filmmaker MC Jithin presents a compelling mix of genres featuring strong leads and stronger direction.
The first 20 minutes of Sookshmadarshini may be used as a textbook to learn the art of writing a setup. Writers Athul Ramachandran and Libin TB are preparing their viewer for a film that falls into an unusual genre but instead of rushing towards the plot, they take their time to focus on establishing their protagonist: Priyadarshini (Nazriya), a 20-something mother who admits to feeling bored of domesticity. She lives in a regular middle-class neighbourhood, filled with regulars who know everything about each other.
