Candala

About This Movie

Candala is this intriguing dive into the life of a religious online motorcycle taxi driver, navigating the complexities of modern urban life. The atmosphere feels tense, almost claustrophobic at times, reflecting the personal turmoil of the protagonist. The pacing unfolds slowly, allowing the audience to absorb the weight of the themes—sexual harassment and societal expectations—without rushing to conclusions. The performances are raw and genuine, particularly the lead, who brings a palpable sense of vulnerability to the role. Practical effects are minimal but effective, supporting the emotional landscape rather than overshadowing it. It’s a curious film, not often talked about, but it lingers in your mind long after the credits roll.
