Ittaa Kittaa Movie Review: A good family entertainer that explores a fresh concept
Review: Ittaa Kittaa, with a freshly brewed concept, offers a lot of insights on adoption and its procedures, but does not get preachy. Director duo Abhinn Sharma and Manthan Purohit have tried to tell a simple story in an impactful manner. With enough funny and chaotic moments, the first half keeps you engrossed and makes you giggle occasionally. The story highlights important topics like adoption of girls, division of work between a mother and father, a teenage girl’s first period, and more in a subtle, beautiful manner. Along with impactful one-liners such as, “Mummy, tara Kanuda e adopted aj hota” (“Your Krishna was adopted too”), the first half has a lot of feel good moments. While the second half of the film is a little slow, commendable performances by all the actors leave you teary-eyed.
Manasi Parekh and Raunaq Kamdar are an on-screen pair to watch out for. Alpana Buch, who plays the dadi, has a powerful presence throughout the film, and her comic timing leaves the audience in splits. Jia Vaidya does justice to her character, while Princy Prajapati brings smiles on our faces every time she’s on the screen. Manasi Parekh’s performance in the second half will touch every mother’s heart. Raunaq Kamdar’s monologue makes the audience clap and is one of the highlights of the film.
Bhargav Purohit and Kedar Upadhyay’s background score is on point (Bhargav is also the lyricist), and the songs complement the film well. With a fresh concept, it’s a good family entertainer to watch at the beginning of the year.
