Dentures (2023) takes a quirky approach to a serious subject, blending humor and poignancy as it explores memory and loss through the lens of Ajju’s father's 90th birthday. The pacing is deliberately uneven, mirroring the old man's disjointed thoughts as he grapples with his fading memories and his relentless search for his dentures. This documentary doesn't shy away from the absurdity of the situation, creating moments that are both lighthearted and deeply reflective. The performances manage to strike a balance between authenticity and playfulness, making you feel for Ajju while you chuckle at the absurdity. It’s distinctive in its ability to portray the complexity of familial relationships against a backdrop of such a simple quest.
