Moksham

About This Movie

Moksham really dives into the heavy emotional weight of loss, right from the get-go. You’ve got this guy, Radha Madhavan, stranded in a Russian airport, and he’s literally clinging to his deceased mother’s body. It’s a tense and almost surreal atmosphere, with the airport itself serving as a character of sorts—impersonal and cold, contrasting with his raw grief. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to sit in that discomfort with him. The interaction with the Malayali-Russian lecturer adds a layer of cultural depth and warmth amid the bleakness. It’s not flashy, but the performances really ground the narrative, making it feel painfully real. There’s something distinct about how it handles grief, making it a compelling watch in its own right.
