About This Movie

Dasharatham is an interesting exploration of family dynamics, diving into the life of Rajiv, a businessman who’s chosen the unconventional route of artificial insemination to become a father. The film has a meditative tone, slowly unfolding the emotional landscape of its characters. There's a stark contrast between Rajiv's corporate world and the personal turmoil that comes with his decision. Annie, portrayed with a sense of vulnerability, brings depth to the narrative, balancing her financial struggles with the heavy emotional weight of her choice. Practical effects are minimal – it relies heavily on performances to convey its themes. You can feel the atmosphere shift from isolation to connection as the story progresses, making it quite distinctive in its approach to a topic that’s still quite relevant today.
