It is said ‘Vina: Stri ya: Jananam nasti, Vina: Stri ya: Jivam nasti’. It means… ‘Without woman there is no birth, without woman there is no life’. A woman is described as Shaktisvarupini. What’s great about ‘Wonder Woman’ is that the mother-to-be is not shown as Adi Shakti. She is also a woman. She was told that she has mood swings during pregnancy. In one scene Sayanora Philip says that I am not divine, but an ordinary woman. The small things that women face during pregnancy are very well explained in the movie.
Her Mother-in-law comes to the class every day along with Veni. One day she asks her husband to come. If the husband asks to take mom… ‘Am I your mom? yesterday?’ asks. The need for a husband is explained later in the scene. Also, Aunty listens to Veni’s words. He does not get angry with his daughter-in-law. understands. Such scenes are heart-touching.
How to lift the baby after birth? How should it be? There is a class. Parvathy Thiruvothu’s performance in that scene is tear-jerking. What happened before that? What happens next? Let’s forget that. When Parvati refuses to give the doll in her hand…crying while holding her grandmother…those scenes are heart-wrenching. Watery eyes. The story of Parvati Thiruvothu, who is ready for divorce for the child in her womb, is heart-touching.
Nithya Menon’s desire to talk to her mother before becoming a mother, her changing her priorities for the sake of a child…we see these types of women in society. Nadiya’s character shows the agony of a woman who loses a child in childbirth, and Amrita Subhash’s character shows the efforts of a late-aged couple for a child. We relate to each character in some way.
Parvathy, Nithya Menon, Nadiya, Padmapriya… everyone acted well. It is not that one is more and the other is less. The characters were brought to life. Sometimes it seems like showing extreme positivity. But, today’s society needs it. ‘Wonder Woman’ lacks the twists and melodrama seen in average movies. This is a film that shows the story we know in a new way. Govind Vasant’s music and Manish Madhavan’s cinematography are top-class. The production values are good.
What is the final say? : ‘Wonder Woman’ is a must-watch movie for mothers-to-be and husbands. It is better to see this not as a story or a movie but as a good message that society needs. There is no such thing as cramming classes. Simple and beautiful… with great music and cinematography!
