Kathal: A Jackfruit Mystery (19 May 2023)

 

Channel: Netflix
Genre: Satire Comedy Drama
Duration: 115 minutes

Producer: Shobha Kapoor, Ekta Kapoor, Guneet Monga, Achin Jain

Director: Yashowardhan Mishra

It's a light hearted fun film made with an array of both time tested and new impactful artists

It's a film with enough social messages, some are imparted strongly while some are just hinted upon. 

Apart from the lead trio - Sanya Malhotra, Anant V Joshi and Neha Saraf, the remaining cast comprises of - Vijay Raaz, Rajpal Yadav, Raghubir Yadav and Brijendra Kala. 

It goes without saying that each of them has served their purpose quite well. 

Sanya just lights up the screen with her toothy grin and passive comic display. 

Raghubir Yadav's comic take on an entrapped girl trafficker needs to be seen to be believed. 

The film primarily focuses on the urgent need of finding and safeguarding missing girls rather than employing the country's police force on ridiculous whims of the politicians, but alongside it also hints upon the disparity of caste system, resistance to accept the clout of lady officers both on job and at home, the media circus and last but not the least the labelling of outgoing and free spirited girls as wayward and thus deserving of mal treatment by anti socials. 

Overall, it's a nice time-pass movie.
