Tara's Story Will Undoubtedly Move Women: Sobhita on Love, Sitara
Reflecting on the film's core theme, she shared to SheThePeople, "All relationships have complexities perhaps, whether modern or not. This story is a peek into that, through the lens of family. Sitara is today’s woman but let’s not forget that women in our families- whether mothers or grandmothers, even if they all don’t go to work in the same way that many do today, they are still very strong forces - standing as foundations to the family, giving direction and shape to the new generations."
The film will undoubtedly move women, says Sobhita while discussing its plot. She expressed, "It’s a heartwarming story that will undoubtedly move women. The film blends genres like family drama, slice-of-life, and coming-of-age, all of which make for a compelling watch." She added that viewers can expect to experience a mix of humour and magic, particularly with the film's depiction of Kerala and the blend of cultures in a north-south wedding.
