Love, Sitara: More Than Just Another Wedding Film? | THR India
Anupama Chopra reviews "Love, Sitara," directed by Vandana Kataria, starring Sobhita Dhulipala. This family drama explores the complexities of relationships across three generations of women, set against the backdrop of a Kerala wedding. The film stands out for its:
Nuanced portrayal of flawed characters, especially the women
Beautiful Kerala setting and traditional Malayali wedding rituals
Exploration of family secrets and long-held resentments
Strong performances, particularly by Sobhita Dhulipala, Virginia Rodrigues, B Jayashree, and Sonali Kulkarni
Blend of humor and emotion
While the male characters are less developed, the film excels in its depiction of female relationships.

At under two hours, "Love, Sitara" offers a refreshing take on family dramas in Hindi cinema.
