Sundari Gardens (Malayalam):
An unexpected woman-led film, Sundari Gardens revolved entirely around the life of the character Sundari, played by Aparna Balamurali. Directed by Charlie Davis, the film dealt with the theme of life after divorce from a toxic marriage. Instead of showing the downside of a divorce, Sundari Gardens portrayed how Sundari moved on in her life. She falls in love all over again, with her colleague, who seems to reciprocate the feelings. The movie is a romantic one at the end of the day. But, it deals with important topics like mental health, toxic marriages, life after divorce, etc. There is a question about who she actually has in life after her family. In spite of the difficulties she has faced, Sundari takes life with a pinch of salt, a message we must all carry from the film.
