Review of EK MINI KATHA |
Another Bollywood flick was released on OTT on May 27th. `Ek Mini Katha` premiered on Amazon Prime Video. Directed by Karthik Rapolu, the film revolves around a man and his misconception about the size of his penis, something that is never openly talked about in the film itself, until the very end. Sitting in a psychiatrist`s office, Santosh (Santosh Shobhan) narrates his story in a flashback - his childhood days when he was bullied, the doubts that plagued him, misunderstandings between him and his father and getting dumped by his first girlfriend. He believes that his penis is the problem and he tries everything. Santosh`s best friend Darshan tells him about surgery and somehow, they end up in a bigger mess! In the end, there is only one solution to life`s every problem in society - marriage - and hence, begins Santosh`s love story with Amruta played by Kavya Thapar. Santosh tries but can`t hold his own either in comic scenes or with the right emotional expressions. Kavya doesn`t have much screen time to show her versatility as an actor. Shraddha Das as The Seer plays a headstrong woman dedicated to her work. Ram Mohan gives a decent performance as Santosh`s troubled father. The film is a bold new subject for India, with a strong storyline and had potential. But the film suffers due to gaps in writing and clearly the director explores several subplots.
