Dekho

About This Movie

So, 'Dekho' is an interesting piece, really. It captures the struggles of a young boy named Arjun, who's just ten and suddenly thrust into a situation where he has to care for his grandmother suffering from dementia. The tone is deeply introspective, almost melancholic at times, but there's this raw, heartfelt quality to it that keeps you engaged. The pacing feels very deliberate, allowing you to sit with the characters' emotions. The performances are quite solid, especially the boy's – he brings a certain innocence mixed with awareness that's quite compelling. The practical effects reflect the real challenges of living with dementia, adding to the authenticity. It’s distinctive for how it doesn’t shy away from the tougher themes of aging and familial love.

Focus on character-driven narratives. · Themes of aging and caregiving are central. · Good for discussions on family dynamics.
