~Worth Watching~

Delicious
—When we say that Ashvamithra is a slow and quiet movie, it’s not in a figurative way but a literal one. And we were perfectly fine with it because the atmosphere pacified our spirit.
The storytelling carried us on a journey to feel the lead actors’ emotions through the stillness. Arun’s interaction with Mithra (the little girl) was so compassionate and sweet, we really enjoyed watching them.
Ashvamithra explored the meaning of steadfastness, gentleness, healing, and care which was demonstrated across characters
—The cast played their part well in a natural and genuine manner. Harish Uthaman (playing Arun) is definitely a hidden gem, it was sooo good to see him in a different role. He was extremely graceful in his performance
—Much needed that the screenplay included other locations than Mithra’s house; otherwise, it would have felt monotonous
—The costume design correctly matched the tone of the film

Bland
—Cinematography and score were ok, could have been more dynamic to diversify the film’s ambiance
