Review of film TRIBHANGA |
Renuka Sahane`s family drama on Netflix Tribhanga - Tedhi Medhi Crazy, is a story about three women with their struggles and aspirations. Tanvi Azmi is Nayantara, an acclaimed writer, and mother of Anuradha (enacted by Kajol). Anuradha, a Bollywood actor-dancer, is as complex and fierce as her mother and also a single mother. Mithali Palkar, who is playing Masha (Anuradha`s daughter), is different from the rest of the women in her family. She is a housewife who is willing to comprise on anything to have the “normal” life that she was deprived of. Nayantara is Abhanga, a slightly mad genius; Masha is Samabhanga, completely balanced; and Anuradha is skewed and weird, she is TRIBHANGA. A brain stroke that puts Nayantara in a coma forces the broken family to reunite and deal with their differences. The film however incorporates multiple elements like sexual assault, domestic violence, and professional aspirations, to justify the sour dynamics between the central characters. Kunaal Roy Kapur as Milan, a writer who is helping Nayantara with her autobiography describes Anuradha as, “rude and stony-hearted.” The brilliant Tanvi Azmi holds your attention and Mithali is pleasantly present in the limited screen-time she has. But Kajol whose emotions in the first half seem heightened returns in the end to her luminous self. Tribhanga is now streaming on Netflix.
