Imagine a remote mountainous village with a changing weather, where a stutter "Kancha" (cattle man) and a mute girl "Kumari" love each other and there the need to earn some money for living wont lead the story to what they had dreamed of. Kathaa is a love tragedy filled with emotions, emotions and more emotions that a person (who have been in love) will heartily feel it and get the shivers. Movie has all the emotions, be it the love making pleasures, the anxious wait for their loved ones, the misery that they wont come back, the flashbacks of good moments and much more.
However, the movie has a slow pace that could upset some but the touchy emotions are worth the watch that quite mingle with the weather around. Actors Saugat Malla and Usha Rajak have miraculously portrayed the characters that deserves big applaud. Timothy Rai- the last/third character Sonam (Kancha's friend) has not also left us disappointed. In a big surprise, we could see a old women (Kumari's mother) outstanding emotions in her eyes that is very rare to find from a local villager. Kudos to Mr. Prashant Rasaily for making such wonderful movie even without a written script and 14 days pack up astonishes everyone. Now I wonder how the movie would have been made with the thriller/horror theme which they had thought of before.
I am about to wrap up the review but if you are seeking for whether to watch the movie or not, then I would recommend it to all those who have a heart and could stand the tragedy for more than 2 hours but make sure you bring enough tissues along. And a big no to all the Masala "hindi" movie lovers. A man next to me stand up to clap in the end though there are mixed reactions to the movie (from my conversation with few of them). But I loved the movie as a whole and the last scene makes it pretty worthy.
Background score well flows with the theme and the title song is heart touching with Prashant as a singer himself.
It wont come back but the story remains- Kathaa.
