~Worth Watching~
Delicious
—What stood out in Insha was the acting. Prarthana Sandeep (playing Insha) had so much grace in delivering her lines plus her facial expression was formidable; you could only love her! Insha’s family members also did a great job bringing the film to life with their natural performance
—Insha’s dedication to achieving greatness in life was admirable; she was such a source of encouragement to be resilient and optimistic
—Location was adequately picked, showing the beauty of the town as well as the slow-paced and simple life of the people
Bland
—Screenplay could have included a parallel story to enrich the narrative. The fact that every scene pivoted around Insha became a bit monotonous
—Editing, cinematography, and score were ok, they weren’t adding much to the movie
—If the dialogues could have contained stronger lines, especially coming from Insha’s teacher, oh my! Insha would have been so inspiring!
A poignant message on strength, capability, or faith could have very much suited this type of film
