REVIEW OF MOVIE MARGARITA WITH A STRAW

Margarita with a straw : One of the most  powerful and award winning performance by Kalki koechlin.

Kalki  who is an Indian Punjabi girl who is born with celebral palsy  disease  , due to which she is physically disabled and could not verbally even speak properly but she is a talented  composer for a band of her college ,Her parents and freinds from college all support her and loves her Although  she has physical limitations . In her quest to  explore herself sexually , and also she has a crush on the leader of her music band , only to discover that she is not accepted sexually due to her condition ,she is heart broken , her mother played by revathy consoles and  cheers her by saying that she has been granted scholarship for further studies in New York University , On reaching New York , she meets good looking guy in college Jared , who has been appointed by the prof  to do writing part on her behalf of assignments of college , she also meets Khanum a blind girl (Sayani Gupta). who also happens to be lesbian , she supports kalki on her journey of sexual exploration , there are lots of turns that take place in kalki"s life , she even gets sexualwith jared also , thereby by learning that she happens to be bisexual , she struggles between telling the truth to her mother who is alredy suffering from cancer and also telling about hvg tint with jared to khanum.
ultimately she manages to tell them both the truth but in that process she loses both of them , mother dies and khanum goes back to new york . But still after losing so much Kalki bounces back to life with support from her father and younger brother

The movie is a very well directed by Shonali Bose , many  angles of a physically disabled person .
Kalki's performance is one of the best till date , Revathy performance is excellent who is seen driving a matador while her husband sitting nxt to her singing punjabi songs while they go to drop kalki to college , Revathy has played a totally loving and caring role of a mother .

Though its not a commercial bollywood movie but it is  good watch for some strong performance and strory line

My Verdict is 3.5*/5*
