The Signature Movie Review
In his debut Bollywood movie, National Award winner Gajendra Vitthal Ahire brings a very relatable tale. The writing is also very simple but commendable. It is a unique genre to see, especially for movies on OTT platforms. Additionally, the movie is too high on emotions, and will surely make you tear up. It also perfectly depicts the loneliness and alienation experienced by the elderly. However, at times the narrative might seem a little too melodramatic.
Another praiseworthy aspect of the movie is its cast performances. Anupam Kher is stunning in the film. It is largely because of his skills and portrayal of emotions. Additionally, he is aptly supported by Mahima Chaudhry and Annu Kapoor. They did an excellent job while performing their characters. Manoj Joshi was also impressive with his performance. Apart from them, Ranvir Shorey is also very impactful with whatever screen time he gets. Considering this, we suggest you watch the movie for its heartfelt performances.
However, at times, the movie tends to be overly sentimental, that too in a forceful way. Nevertheless, the music by Rohit Sharma adds to the gloomy and desperate ambiance of the movie. While The Signature isn’t a flawless film, it is an important step towards making conversations around caregivers and compassion fatigue go mainstream. They tend to make these conversations a little normal.
Final Verdict
Anupam Kher’s film The Signature shows the extent one can go for a loved one. It proves that hope and love can illuminate the path forward even in the darkest moments. This can be a good weekend watch. We rate the movie 3.5 out of 5 stars.
