Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi review: This Seema Pahwa directorial is poignant and thoughtful, but not preachy
Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi is a great attempt at bringing the issues of a dysfunctional family out in the open
Seema Pahwaâs Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi unfolds during the 13-day mourning period post the death of the familyâs patriarch, the eponymous, Ramprasad.
The film has striking similarities with Pagglait, which also released on the same platform a few weeks ago. However, the treatments of the films are markedly different from each other. While Pagglait deals with the issue of empowering the wife after her husbandâs death, Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi deals more into the psyche of a mom and how she feels left alone after the death of her husband, the father of the family. Will the herd of kids and grandkids stand up to the occasion? Or will these 13 days become just another occasion for a fun family get-together? While both stories deal with relatives coming in for the 13 days of mourning and forgetting the actual cause of being there and talking about varied other family issues, somehow Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi ends up being a notch higher than Pagglait.
