Shrimanji

About This Movie

Shrimanji is a fascinating exploration of moral ambiguity set against the backdrop of 1942 India. The film dives into the life of Advocate M.L. Gupta, who seems to have a perfect life until a chance encounter with the enigmatic Panna reveals layers of his character. The pacing feels a bit languid at times, allowing the viewer to really soak in the atmosphere of the era, from the lavishness of Bombay to the chaos in Calcutta during the air raid. The performances are quite compelling, particularly the tension between Gupta and Panna, showcasing the complexities of desire and regret. It's interesting how the film employs practical effects to heighten the sense of danger, grounding its drama in a very real historical context. Definitely a unique entry in the family drama genre.
