Kabluey

Kabluey is a movie about self-realisation and discovery. It can be sometimes hard to understand love without first going through some hardships and loving oneself.

The movie starts with Leslie, a depressive mother of two extremely hard-to-handle boys, whose husband is away at war. She is desperate to get back to work and can't afford to get a babysitter. Out of desperation, she asked her brother-in-law, Salman for help.

Salman is a socially inept person who is having a hard time getting accepted by everyone including his family. As Salmon becomes the babysitter for Leslie, he soon learns about loving and accepting himself as he discovers and understands about love and pain of people around him.

The movie has a rather geeky kind of humour which is kind of refreshing like a young school girl. It is kind of subtle yet touching in many ways. It is definitely an interesting movie to watch. Of course, more can be done to improve the storyline and add more depth. Yet simplicity can still achieve the same objective. And Kabluey is a simple movie.

Rating: 4 out of 5 fairy clouds.
