Sara’s Review: Anna Ben's stellar act lifts this simple Amazon Prime film

Anna Ben and Sunny Wayne’s film Sara’s sticks to the concept till the very end - until and unless a woman is ready, she shouldn’t be forced into parenthood. Directed by Jude Anthany Joseph, the film might not convince everyone, but it sure starts a conversation. 

Two school kids are sitting on a bench, very much in love, sharing an egg puff and talking about their future together. While both of them agree that they would like to have a career, when the guy starts talking about marriage and kids, the girl outrightly shares her opinion of never wanting to bear a child. In the very next scene, we see the guy walking away while the girl narrates his thought - ‘Without the egg, he didn’t want the puff’. The Malayalam film Sara’s on Amazon Prime Video revolves around a woman, who decides early on that she doesn’t want kids and the struggles and challenges she comes across in life. Sara (Anna Ben) wants to be a filmmaker and her dream has always been to see her name in the credits roll. After assisting on several films, she finally wants to write and direct her own film. During research for her film’s climax scene with Dr Sandhya Philip (Dhanya Verma), she meets Jeevan (Sunny Wayne). The two enjoy each other’s company, fall in love, but what seals the deal for Sara is Jeevan’s belief that he never wants kids.
