Kaathal is a brilliant, nuanced cinema that unpeels layer by layer, immersing the watcher inside its world, towards the heart-touching ending.
In a world of toxic masculinity belted out with gay abandon on screen, Kaathal weaves a masterpiece of a story. It’s a tender, painful story of love, longing, and separation. It’s one of the finest takes on pain and longing that one will see on screen for a long long time.
The director, Jeo Baby, handles the story of a gay man with the maturity that is rarely seen in cinema.
Mammooty and Jyothika playing man and wife are outstanding and it’s a slow slow burn. It’s a lot of little things that make a brilliant film. Jyothika as Omana portrays elegance and grace, equally matched by Mammooty who plays Mathew, who will make you drive you to tears with his brilliant portrayal of a closeted homosexual.
This is yet another low budget gem from the creator of the brilliant The Great Indian Kitchen, and reinforced the fact that the budget does not mean anything. Story, acting, and the little things …scenes that steal your heart …
Mathew looking towards the kitchen after Omana leaves.
Omana telling Mathew “I am fighting your your love too.”
And Mathew breaking down in front of his Father at the end .. “what’s my fault?”
When Mathew goes to meet his daughter during her basketball practice … and leaves midway, it tugs at your heartstrings. It makes you want better things for him.
It helps you empathise … with homosexuals and with people in general.
And the background music is a perfect foil to this masterpiece.
Don’t miss this gem… a 10/10 from me.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
