Margarita With a Straw is the coming-of-age story of Laila Kapoor (Kalki Koechlin), a young woman with cerebral palsy, who goes to the US to study. Besides Koechlin, this stars the magnificent Revathy, as Laila’s mother. This film is directed by Shonali Bose, who also directed Amu. You might recall that I was not overly enthusiastic about that film, but one hopes anew with every venture. Should be interesting.
It might be worthwhile to note that this film has been making the rounds of the film festival circuit, gathering accolades and awards wherever it goes, although that is not proof enough of quality.
