Goldfish (IV) (2023)
8/10
Offbeat film about the troubled relationship between a daughter and her mother
21 August 2023
Should you treat your parents the same in their last years as they treated you in your first?

Goldfish is the story of the troubled relationship between a daughter and her mother.

The mother is played by the evergreen and my favourite, deepti naval. And the daughter is played by the versatile, kalki koechlin.

The mother is suffering from dementia, she is slowly forgetting things, words, places, people, and how badly she treated her daughter growing up.

Among all this, after the death of her husband, she has found love again, and she loves him so much that she has willed her home to her love instead of her daughter!

The film is also the story of living in a good neighbourhood and having loving neighbours who take care of each other.

There's even a scene set in the bathroom, where the whole neighbourhood got together to help the character of deepti naval.

What i liked the most in the movie was its cinematography, which was done by the director, pushan kripalani.

The pacing and the screenplay in the film could have been done better.

Overall the movie was good and the end left you with a question which i asked in the beginning.

Watched this with the director, producer, writers, and star cast: deepti naval, kalki koechlin, and rajit kapoor at the india habitat centre, delhi.
