It’s hard to describe Rekha’s effect because the movie was quite intense 😳 It was a display of excessive fury mixed with passionate love and insanity
~Worth Watching~
We always get so happy when Jithin Issac Thomas drops a new movie because we looove his wild and complex imagination, just makes you wonder where he draws his inspiration from.
Rekha was so different from Freedom Fight and Attention Please as it delved into young women’s inner being and unleashed a power never before seen on screen
Rekha (Vincy Aloshious) was the girl next door, constantly glued to her phone chatting with her lover Arjun (Unni Lalu), a simple guy selling in his father’s shop. It’s hard to go into details with the screenplay for fear of spoilers, but let’s just say that the ‘fateful night’ in question served as a catalyst to bring out Rekha’s warrior spirit.
We got to experience her fighting soul and sheer determination to defy society’s norms of the typical woman.
Even her dress code (a kurti with sports pants) made a bold statement about her conservative values and modern/fierce attitude. The name ‘Rekha’ itself (meaning ‘line’) showed that if anyone crossed her limits, she was going to wake up the sleeping beast in her.
‘Rekha’ was an important wake-up call for young women who succumb to the pressure of being in relationships and for women who let society define them
All the actors performed fantastically, kudos to Vincy and Unni who held the ship together 👊🏾👊🏾 We believed all the emotions they released: fury, passion, lust, disgust, rage, anguish, and insanity (is insanity an emotion?🤔)
The camera’s diverse movements and angles elevated the film’s dimension by providing more insights into Rekha’s feelings and the eerie environments.
The soundtracks were superb! They started out with calming voices and vibes, then increased the momentum by switching to hard rock as the scenes became more intense
Our little negative was the extent to which intimacy and nudity were shown deflating the movie’s energy and not serving much of a purpose
