Kumari (Malayalam):

Directed by Nirmal Sahadev, Kumari is a mythological fantasy film starring Aishwarya Lekshmi as Kumari. Leading the show, Kumari (Aishwarya Lekshmi) tries to save her child from an ancient practice of tradition and belief. An out-an-out fantasy, some sequences in the film seem scary to even watch, let alone perform with conviction. The movie shows the extent a mother would go to protect her child, and it positively shows Kumari becoming the Matriarch of her tribe with the help of the local Goddess. With strong woman-centric ideas, the movie was very interesting to watch, more for Aishwarya Lekshmi’s stint in it.
