The speed at which the plot moves is extraordinary. One of the main reasons why Awe worked so well is because it combines stunning editing and tight screenplay. As the climax unfolds, we sit there and marvel at the brilliance of simplicity. This connection is like a tangled knot that the filmmaker has taken upon himself to untie. One of the questions that I pondered over as each scene and character unfolded was how did it all connect? What is the thread that ties them together? To make this collection of fascinating characters a part of the film, it was important to find a tangible connection and kudos to the scriptwriter for getting it right. Not once does your mind wander in the 1 hour 55 minute film because you are invested in knowing how the lives of each of these characters are going to change. Each character – even the animated ones – are nuanced, and handled with a light touch. Never a dull moment!Īnd then, there is a gold fish named Nani (Nani) who converses with a Bonsai tree named Chanti (Ravi Teja). Is it possible for the director to introduce us to so many characters and yet keep the narrative tight? Will it end up as an ensemble cast where no one gets their due and audience ends up distracted? Prasanth manages to dismiss our doubts and how! As Kajal Aggarwal, Srinivas Avasarala, Priyadarshi, Regina Cassandra and Murali Sharma come on screen, distraction is the last thing on our mind.

Initially, I had my misgivings about the film, starting from its crowded cast. It is her actions that form the crux of the story. She is planning to take a drastic step and in her last entry in the diary she pleads ‘not guilty’. That’s when you start to give the debut director his due – you realise that Prasanth understands not just the importance of timing, but also of being relevant.Īwe is about Kali (Kajal Aggarwal) who is about to go on a rampage on her birthday. It is truly an Awe moment when we see her walk into the frame looking like the stereotyped biker babe to meet her future in-laws. She is a psychiatrist who loves her paaya (mutton soup) and her lover equally. The character questions the judgements that are prevalent in the society today in relation to gender norms. As the credits end and we meet all the characters, it is Nithya Menen who truly comes as a surprise.
