Sajin Shrijith’s review of Shruthi Sharanyam’s ‘B 32 Muthal 44 Vare’: A poignant, deeply thoughtful tale of liberation that’s didactic sans preachiness

In the assured hands of writer-director Shruti Sharanyam, we get a film that addresses some pertinent topics through a hyperlink narrative.

Who would’ve thought that breasts and bra sizes could be effective storytelling devices to address topics and situations usually considered awkward and uncomfortable (but shouldn’t be)? Perhaps in the hands of a lesser or a male filmmaker, these would’ve remained awkward and uncomfortable; however, in the assured hands of a woman, writer-director Shruthi Sharanyam, we get a film that invites you to summon as much courage as its characters do, so that you, like them, can finally feel liberated, regardless of your gender.
