a great lesson on fear

Warning: Spoilers
Janaki Jaane took the most ordinary topic and turned it into something grand. So many lessons learned from the effects of fear.

DELICIOUS

-The film had a nice and quiet vibe. It was calming to see the beauty and greenery of Karalam village

We were gently invited into Janaki's world, seeing how paranoid she was about being alone, being in the dark, hearing noise, going to the toilet, etc.

-It was great that the screenplay didn't consider anxiety as a disorder or tried to make excuses for it by advocating medication or self-pity.

The movie propelled us to analyze the root of fear and encourage us to be freed from this bondage

-Navya Nair and Saiju Kurup had a good harmony together. We believed her performance during the panic attack while Saiju was comic and strong in character.

Although we wonder if he would have still been this strong had he not experienced the previous panic episodes with Janaki before the climax?🤔

The supporting cast provided great assistance to the main cast!

BLAND

---The movie had a sloooow start. The shuffling scenes between Janaki and the political candidates were a little dull, not moving the story forward until about 56 minutes into the movie.

It was only our curiosity that kept us going.
