At about 50 minutes, this is a featurette that shows young love amidst religious intolerance. Its strength lies in its quiet conviction. The rest of this review may contain spoilers.
Jeevan (Mayur Gowda) loves Ameena (Sucharitha). They’ve known each other from when they were children, and the fact that he is Hindu and she is Muslim does not seem to be an issue. At least, Ameena doesn’t seem to think it is an issue. She tells Jeevan that it is 2024. Who cares about Hindu-Muslim, etc.? She is “liberated” in a good way. It’s not that she smokes and has sex with Jeevan. That’s just surface-level behaviour. Ameena comes across as liberated because she genuinely does not seem to care about religion or “what will society say?” or any of those things. Director Sarthak Hegde co-wrote Green Girl with Triko and Manish Kumar. They single out Ameena. We don’t see her family. We don’t see her other friends, if she has any. We only see her in relation to Jeevan. She is “liberated” from all other ties except love: her love for Jeevan.
