A highly relateable film with occasional laughter. Gantumoote did not bore me for a single second. This certainly will be one of the 10 films between 2010 and 2020 I would recommend to my friends.
What I liked:
1. Female protagonist character who does not rely on oh-I-am-such-a-victim or radical feminist values.
2. Female protagonist who is not a female version of a regular male protagonist. (We have seen the latter happening).
3. Strong and mature character of Meera, in which strength and maturity are not defined by conventional standards.
4. The film isn't afraid to talk about child marriages in certain homes (you will know why I said it the way I said it, after watching the film. I don't have the the kind of balls the film has).
5. Nothing is on-your-face.
6. Attention to detail. Small things like having white number plate instead of yellow for public transport vehicles, and hiding 'BBMP' with trash props on a wall where 'By order - BBMP' was written, mattered. I would have liked it even better if BTS buses were shown instead of BMTC.
7. Meera's father gets way less dialogues than her mother, despite having similar screen time, quite like urban uncles of 90s.
8. Director's cameo.
9. The school has a cool teacher who makes total sense, again relateable.
Watch it before it goes out of theatres
