Wonder Women Movie Review: Many people, regardless of their native language, enjoy the Malayalam film “Bangalore Days” from 2014. Anjali Menon, who has been absent from the filmmaking scene for quite some time, is back with the intriguing drama “Wonder Women,” which boasts a roster of talented actors. Sony’s OTT service, Liv, now offers this movie for streaming. Let’s take a close look at this movie to see if it’s good enough to be offered on an OTT platform.
Story
Pregnant women from different backgrounds and cultures learn a lot from one another and from one another in a prenatal class. Every expectant mother’s experience and background is different. How these lessons impacted the students is discussed further in the narrative.
Cast & Crew
Members of the cast include Nadiya Moidu, Nithya Menen, Parvathy Thiruvothu, Padmapriya, Sayanora Phillip, Archana Padmini, and Amruta Subhash. The film was written and directed by Anjali Menon, with Ronnie Screwvala and Ashi Dua Sara of RSVP and Flying Unicorn Entertainment serving as producers. Manesh Madhavan directed the film, with music by Govind Vasantha.

Movie Verdict
One example of a movie that opts to explore human experience rather than technical mastery is Wonder Woman. The characters and situations in this film are what make it stand out, despite a lacklustre plot. You may find yourself reflecting on the struggles of real-life friends and family members via each of the characters. Also, the film dispels myths and sheds light on the emotional ups and downs of pregnancy. The pacing isn’t for everyone because the film takes its time establishing its characters and setting.
It’s impossible to pick a weak performance out of this cast. Nithya Menen had a solid performance, while Parvathy Thiruvothu is another actress who consistently gives excellent turns. Padmapriya returns to the film industry after a long absence, and her performance in this film left me speechless.
In Bollywood, Amruta Subhash is one of the most talented performers but gets little credit for her work. On-screen, Nadia Moidu delivered a stunning performance. Excellent work was turned forth by both Sayanora Phillip and Archana Padmini. Actors in supporting roles carried out their duties as the plot required.
Wonder Woman seems impressive on paper. Govind Vasantha’s score set the right mood for the film’s depiction of human feeling. Manesh Madhavan aimed to brighten up the film by capturing some beautiful sceneries. The editing by Praveen Prabhakar is flawless, and the pacing of the entire film is superb. The production values are very high.
Anjali Menon, the film’s director, once again displayed her talent as a writer and an actor of nuance and depth of character. Although the film moves at a seemingly slow pace, the narration is essential in order to provide a full picture of the characters and their environments.
If you’re in the mood for a heartfelt drama this weekend, I highly recommend Wonder Women, which is currently streaming on Sony Liv OTT.
