I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

At first, I didn't know the main cast of this movie was actually a normal person. What a great acting! It's been a long time I didn't follow the update of Bollywood movies since the era of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. So yeah, it's no wonder I've never heard of Kalki Koechlin and any other casts, except maybe the one who played as Laila's mother. I think I've seen her somewhere in Bollywood movies. Getting to know her, I started to search about her other works or activities on the Internet and I found some on YouTube. Wow, she looks like a smart actress. The way she speaks about women empowerment or feminist. She's done a lot of movies and I found her other movie on Netflix. I hope I can watch it soon enough.This movie doesn't only cover about the everyday life of a person with a cerebral palsy, but also about her sexual life. This what makes this movie unusual. What's more, Laila is in the position where she's confused about her sexual preference. It's something I've never thought about before. And reading the making process of this movie on Wikipedia makes me appreciate this movie even more.

Quoting in a broader sense, there are 3 kinds of actors: 1. Humans who make great actors 2. Actors who make great humans And the 3rd...........? Book a show of "Margarita With a Straw" to experience the 3rd kind called Kalki Koechlin. In a snap you'll confront to the prowess & virtuosity of this super-skilled woman only to fall in love with her (again). 'Laila' will instantly conquer your heart with her eyes & body language. It is tough to imagine people with cerebral palsy. What's tougher is to admire & respect their choices around their sexuality & life in general. And MWAS's vulgar-free modus operandi enables us to do this. The subtle-yet-bold performance from Kalki & her journey of discovering her sexual choices is substantial & heart-warming at the same time. Overall, in a society like ours where we witness a cocktail of strong opinions, it might just be a liberating escapade to have Shonali Bose's Margarita.......With a Straw! smile emoticon ‪#‎margaritawithastraw‬ ‪#‎bollywood‬

Journey of Laila, a girl with Cerebral Palsy trough obstacles in life, through different phases of love, different orientation of sexuality and music that encircles her life like a bunch of flower.Beautifully written and treated with tenderness, this film can give you the feeling of emancipation , an hour without the target pressure , maybe something more. Amazing performances by Kalki Koechin,Sayani Gupta , Revathy which actually keep the pace of the film , or maybe the binding energy of it. Music is brilliantly placed with enchanting background scores,its a perfect 'voyage' to some unknown destination, which you will definitely discover after the film.The most important part of this film is the ending of it,which is so beautifully taken.The simplicity of this movie makes it a lovable one. This is not an entertainment masala movie of bollywood, this connects to a bigger set of audience. Its a must watch film for all the film lovers. p.s.- Some people are saying that this movie is a slow pace and lagging most of the time .I must reply to them that all great arts in this earth are slow,tender and are told in a murmuring tone.Have a margarita with a straw. It feels great.
