All Guild Reviews of Paranthu Po
An enjoyable and poignant pursuit of happiness that never forgets to have fun
Charming family film teaches joy in life's simple things
Director Ram's 'Paranthu Po', starring Mirchi Shiva, Grace Antony and Mithul, is a profound story about self-discovery when you are busy running the city life. Without being too preachy, the film hits all the right notes.
What does an eight-year-old want? His parents, who enroll him in a prestigious elite school, give him access to everything. He has access to a computer, Zomato/Swiggy, expensive waveboards, all materialistic things, and has enrolled him in all classes and extracurricular activities. Yet, the eight-year-old is not happy and craving something that is beyond his and his parents’ understanding. What more can the parents do? This is what Ram’s ‘Paranthu Po’ is all about. Gokul (Mirchi Shiva) and Glory (Grace Antony) lead a hustling life, bound by countless EMIs and their dream of giving ‘everything’ to their fussy son, Anbu (Mithul). Gokul is a man who is struggling to set up a shop, while Glory owns a saree shop to sustain their life. When they are at work, Anbu, who is on his half-yearly holiday, is locked up inside his home and forced to take part in the classes his parents have enrolled him in.
