Ek Mini Katha (2021)

'Ek Mini Katha' elicits some healthy laughs in the second half. Watch it for some light-veined OTT time. But don't expect ROFL laughter.

Our tendency to tip-toe around the subject, the shame and stigma attached to it, deprives the children of the most basic and vital knowledge that would go a long way in making their adolescent years a bit less challenging and confusing. Instead of discussing the actual problem at the centre of the film, the filmmakers only try to stretch the humour around the misconception that size matters the most.The filmmakers also become clueless about what to do with the female lead character Amrutha, played by Kavya Thapar.

All in all, “Ek Mini Katha” explores a taboo subject and narrates it with a dose of humor but it also suffers from many small and big problems along the way. It finally falls into the trap of a regular template and turns into a boring affair.

On the whole, Ek Mini Katha has a very bold subject for the Telugu audience. But director Karthik Rapolu succeeds in narrating it in a neat manner with decent comedy. Though this film is for the adult audience and gets a bit dragged in the second half, it has enough material in it and ends as a time pass watch during these tense times of COVID 19.
