Vishnu Dev’s ‘Little Miss Rawther’ is a pleasant, quirky romance but it could have used more narrative heft

The opening scenes of set the tone for the rest of the film. We are going to watch a filmmaker write a script from his memories: hence the screenwriting instructions that appear over the frames (for instance, “Hospital, INT, Day”). The filmmaker is Abhijit (Shersha Sherief). The woman in his memories is Naina (Gouri G Kishan). They make a very appealing opposites-attract couple, he with his slacker-stoner vibe and she with her obsession with cleanliness and responsibility and other such things. One of the many quirks in this quirky movie is that she is short and he is tall. But like most of the film, this quirk seems funnier when you hear about it – because as you watch the story unfold, nothing big comes of it. Abhijit and Naina could have been of compatible height, and would have more or less been the same movie.
