Girls Will Be Girls Movie Analysis:
This film takes place in the 1990s. It has been well-made with the methods, customs, rules, and atmosphere of that time. Also, this film is a mother-daughter story. Generally, it is natural for young girls between the ages of 16 and 20 to have sexual desires. They are attracted to the opposite gender. In this sequence, they neglect their education and talent and destroy their lives.
This is the subject that Lady Director Shuchi Talati has shown in a slow, bold, and even crude way. However, he did not put unnecessary scenes. The film progresses in a way that is understandable to both students and parents with the necessary scenes. The drama, jealousy, and fun that take place between the mother and daughter at home after the boyfriend arrives, claiming to be a friend, is very interesting. All this runs smoothly for the first hour.
But, the next half hour is very slow. The last half hour rushes by. The film contains not only lip kisses but also romantic scenes and emotional moments. The mother's efforts to prevent her daughter from failing her studies and from making mistakes with the boy may seem strange and strange on the surface, but there is an unknown depth inside. For example, Anila is portrayed as a mother who is strict, loving, and responsible enough to pass a rule to her daughter's boyfriend to sleep on her bed when she makes a mistake.
Meera, a young woman who is jealous of her mother for being close to her boyfriend, and Srinivas, a character who gets close enough to call her mother by her aunty's name to meet her girlfriend, are interesting characters. The climax is okay. The story simply ends happily as the daughter learns what a mother's love is like. However, after an hour, there is a chance that most of the audience will get bored with the movie.
Kani Kushruti, Preeti Panigrahi, and Keshav Binoy Kiran impressed everyone with their performances. The reason for the movie to be engaging is their performances. The movie's BGM and cinematography are good. The production values are as good as they should be for an OTT movie. Richa Chadha, who entered the production field, gave a good message with her first movie. Director Suchi Talati showed the characters of the average young woman and mother well without showing any feminism.
Finally, Girls Will Be Girls, which has a run time of two hours, is a mother-daughter story, but it cannot be watched with the family. There are many bold scenes. But, if the mother and daughter dare to watch and understand, they will understand the value of sexual feelings, boyfriends, mother's love, and toughness. However, Girls Will Be Girls is being streamed OTT on Amazon Prime in English, Malayalam, and Hindi with English subtitles.
