Kairam Vaashi reviews "Mithya," a poignant Kannada film directed by Sumanth Bhat. The story follows 11-year-old Mithun, who arrives in Udupi with his younger sister Vandana after their parents' tragic death. Kairam praises the film's exploration of adolescence and grief, highlighting how the camera work and lensing create a palpable sense of tension that immerses viewers in Mithun's troubled mind. The reviewer commends the exceptional performances, particularly by Athish S Shetty as Mithun, Prakash Thuminad as Uncle Surya, and Roopa Varkady as Aunt Jyothi.
The review delves into the film's themes of illusion, adoption, and the struggle to find acceptance in a new family. Kairam notes that ordinary objects like ceiling fans and bicycles create an intense atmosphere throughout the 95-minute runtime. The reviewer also applauds Midhun Mukundan's background score and the overall sound design, which enhance the film's impact. Kairam concludes by thanking Rakshit Shetty for backing this exceptional film and supporting good cinema.
