Shyama

About This Movie

Shyama offers this haunting exploration of grief and redemption. Viswanathan, a once-celebrated director, struggles under the weight of his past—his wife's death and the tragic accident that took a young man's life. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the audience to sit with the characters' anguish. When he encounters Shyama, his friend's daughter, the connection is layered and poignant, both are held captive by their shared pain, but it’s the nuances in their performances that really stand out. The atmosphere is thick with melancholy, which is accentuated by practical effects that ground the emotional intensity. The film dives deep into themes of loss and forgiveness but never truly resolves, leaving you with lingering questions long after the credits roll.
