Quite a softly, heart-stirring story.
Except for the fact that the audience’ll have to allow the characters their space and expressive potential as they reveal their innermost stories, over the course of the movie.
Was pleasantly amused by the careful reverence accorded to lovely (indian) mythological refs. (to the prodigious self-trained archer, Eklavya, who stands for unflinching loyalty to the ideals/people he loves) and even the literary refs. to Shakespeare’s Macbeth, (perhaps, even Hamlet, yes) and the Bard’s sweet Sonnet XVIII.. ;)
Music-wise, mine humble pick’ll be: Hamsika Iyer’s rendition of “Chanda Re” (The Moon Song) ~ sweetly sung to the request of the prince who’s mourning his own (Queen) mother’s demise in the movie. Neat effort, on the whole. :)
