Great Film overall

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Sad film indeed.Helen Keller — 'I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet' First lesson learnt – Never ever crib or be depressed for whatever reason – there is so much more pain in this world! Here, in our world, normal or so called able humans are committing suicide because of relationship failures or money matters – and here we see that a girl – born to a well-to-do family of course, tries to live her life…by leaning things from the ways of the world! The easy access to porn world available to children and youths Film also shows the ease with which the youth and even children have access to porn cinema , images and web sites! Environment makes a man after all…so in spite of being talented – like having the ability to do creative writing, compose music etc. she (the disabled kalki in the film) was more keen on downloading porn sites and fantasize things plus masturbate as well – she took the risk of masturbating while being in the same room as her younger brother! Poor her..and her brother…and her mother..and her father! Better not interfere in anybody's sexual preferences The movie also subtly conveys to the world that human beings can take to bisexuality, trisexuality or even multisexuality…or even decide to remain unisexual all their lives – it should not be anyone's bloody business to interfere in anybody's sexual preferences! But since this is India and Indian parents are very concerned about their children and are doubly concerned about what is being sown on their gullible minds…the producer and the director had to be extra careful before delivering this message openly – so they made use of a cerebral palsy patient – who basically will awaken this understanding in us that nobody has the right to interfere in anybody's sexual preferences! Wow! So basically paedophiles can have a good time now and the cops will not have to persecute any peadophile …. as we, the people, will awaken to this great understanding of human nature (esp. sexual nature) ! Similarly, even rapists should go scot free – because it is the preference of a rapist to forcibly land on Thailand….(thigh land – poor joke)! The Indian film makers could not have conveyed this great message by some 'supposedly' normal citizen…else we, the Indians, would have probably throttled them! Probable Repercussions in India: We are already aware of the atrocities that go on in asylums or in clinics/ homes where physically disabled children and adults live – like their parents or relatives arrange to keep them in an environment where similar people live and they can befriend each other and spend time.I have read in many magazines as to how the poor girls & boys (mentally challenged, genetically handicapped etc.) are molested/ raped by the care-takers themselves (some care takers not all of course)! After watching such a film, those corrupt people will increase their atrocities…..since the film showed how desperate such people can be to experience sex! Anyway, sad film, very sad indeed!

Quoting in a broader sense, there are 3 kinds of actors: 1. Humans who make great actors 2. Actors who make great humans And the 3rd...........? Book a show of "Margarita With a Straw" to experience the 3rd kind called Kalki Koechlin. In a snap you'll confront to the prowess & virtuosity of this super-skilled woman only to fall in love with her (again). 'Laila' will instantly conquer your heart with her eyes & body language. It is tough to imagine people with cerebral palsy. What's tougher is to admire & respect their choices around their sexuality & life in general. And MWAS's vulgar-free modus operandi enables us to do this. The subtle-yet-bold performance from Kalki & her journey of discovering her sexual choices is substantial & heart-warming at the same time. Overall, in a society like ours where we witness a cocktail of strong opinions, it might just be a liberating escapade to have Shonali Bose's Margarita.......With a Straw! smile emoticon ‪#‎margaritawithastraw‬ ‪#‎bollywood‬

http://fashionkeeda.com/5-style-lessons-from-margarita-with-a-straw/Margarita with a Straw is the kind of film that happens to us only once in a while. It has got all the right ingredients in right amounts at right places. Even though it deals with physical challenges faced by most of its main characters, not once it gets overboard with sentiments, and never ever gets preachy. That's a maturity of film-making which is difficult if not rare to find in our Hindi film industry. Dealing with such sensitive struggles of life, while exhibiting a sense of complete normalcy (whatever that means!), has made this one such a special watch that it's so tempting to be a part of its character's lives.

Kudos to the team who went deeply into the hearts of the physically and mentally disabled people for knowing their life. Some people choose their life in their own way and some don't have choices Kalki a talented music composer is very confused in her relationship being a mentally challenged girl all she wants who should take proper care of her. Initially she had a normal relation , then comes the homosexual part , then Bisexual and at last being asexual . Kalki a brave character tells the world even a gay or a lesbian or a normal person carry emotions with them. Every one should have done a "Yeh Jawani Yeh Deewani" but "Margaritta with a straw" none other than Kalki would have done it. Matured acting , brilliant direction and superb star cast made the movie worth watching at the theatre.
