Is love enough, Sir (2018)

Loving Sir (2018)

Sir (2018 film) is a watch I don't regret. 

And yes, thanks to the Netflix blurb I knew they'd fall for each other, the suspense of the movie was only about the when and the then what? 

And of course I am not at all disappointed with the slow buildup to that one moment that changes everything for them - it was a very rewarding wait. 

Then once the initial euphoria of rooting for a love-conquers-class story died down one realizes that even though the sensitive, gentle, kind Ashwin may seem to be the progressive, accepting hero; it is actually Ratna who is the hero of the movie. She reminded me so much of Jane Eyre.  Ratna and Jane Eyre both dreamed of more but wouldn’t compromise on their ideals. 

And that perceptive friend of Ashwin’s - I would consider myself lucky to have a friend like him.

Sir dir. Rohena Gera

A beautiful film with a deceptively simple plot, that uplifts and breaks down caste and class stereotypes and tropes of Indian cinema. Tillotama Shome is radiant as Ratna, a widowed maid from a humble village background, who works for recently jilted Ashwin (Vivek Gomber). Despite their class differences, Ratna and Ashwin develop a tender connection and nurture eachother’s best selves.

This is an astonishingly assured debut from Rohena Gera that elegantly and soulfully undoes toxic masculinity and class heirarchy, Indian style. Loved it. Great soundtrack too. It follows in the new wave of independent Indian cinema: those who liked The Lunchbox will similarly love this.
