Agra

Agra is a decent watch from Kanu Behl. It is not a mainstream film and deals with a dysfunctional family living in a congested two-story house, exploring their respective desires for personal space. The underlying theme revolves around sexual repression in all the characters. Shot in crowded spaces with excellent camerawork and sound design (I loved the old songs playing on the radio), the movie is engaging throughout. The acting is top-notch from all the cast members, with special mention to debutant Mohit Agarwal and Priyanka Bose, who both nailed their performances. Depicting the psychological angle of sexual repression through the character of Mala, played by Ruhani Sharma, worked very well. Overall, Agra is a brave attempt by Kanu Behl.
