Veruthe oru bharya (“useless wife”) Movie - A different perspective.

I saw my mother watching this film for the Nth time today. It is a good movie, I enjoyed it too. But will I enjoying watching it for the 10^th time? No. Definitely No.

And the people who does not know about the film – Here is the link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veruthe_Oru_Bharya

Let us watch that movie again, but with a different perspective.

The woman walks out of the home, because she feels unappreciated. She did not think about the girl who was left behind. Who cares right? She is with her father. Everything will be alright. She did not think that when being a woman, she is not able to handle her “husband” - How will that girl handle him? But still who cares? She has bigger problems. HER HUSBAND DOES NOT APPRECIATE HER!

Her father gave her a phone. Of course, there is no happiness which cannot be bought with money right? But did he think that she is growing up, and there are predators lurking? No… He has bigger problems to solve. HIS WIFE LEFT HIM!!!!

The teenage girl went for a trip with a teenage boy. The car broke down and she got in to trouble with hooligans. SERVES HER RIGHT! How can she go out and seek happiness when her parents are fighting over petty things? They do not care about her (of course!), but HOW CAN SHE GO OUT AND BE HAPPY FOR A MOMENT? She is supposed to be in the house and suffer silently

Thank fully, she was saved by the police. But the trauma of being chased by hooligans made her father lose his mind. But she is PERFECTLY FINE! ( Like really? She would be one tough cookie). I found it hilarious actually. In a country when a girls is getting raped in broad day light, the police were there to save this girl. Well, it is a cinema, and that is how the director wants!

The mother realized that her girl is missing after two weeks. WOW! 2 WEEKS! That was pretty quick isn’t? The mother should be worshipped, because it is hard to get a mother like that. She went to the school to see her daughter. Oh, she cannot go home directly because there is her unthankful husband. It is not a big deal if her daughter is missing, but she cannot face her thankless husband. THAT WOULD BE TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR!

But with the help of his friends, she went to meet her daughter. She is almost on her death bed and being cared by her lunatic father. Later the same lunatic hit her with an iron rod on her head. Then only the realization hit her “Parents”. They reconciled, the lunatic father got the treatment and got his senses back. Happy ending!!!

I found it funny actually. The little girl had to face death almost twice to make her parents learn how to live a life.

I think the name of the film should be “Veruthe oru parents” (“Useless parents”)
