Rahul PK’s ‘Sakutumba Sametha’ plays like an easy-breezy rom-com, but it’s more: a beautifully written choreography of conflict

Spoilers ahead…

The film is not just about the relationship between the boy and the girl. The film is about relationships in general.

At first, I thought I was watching an easy-breezy rom-com. A boy from Bengaluru has met a girl on an online matrimony portal. They are days away from the marriage, when she gets an offer to move to Mumbai. She also gets cold feet. The petty squabbles keep happening. For instance: Why does she have to choose a lehenga in the same colour as his suit? Why didn’t he ask her what colour she wanted to wear? That sort of thing. But director Rahul PK – who wrote Sakutumba Sametha with Pooja Sudhir – is after something deeper. The film is not just about the relationship between the boy and the girl. The film is about relationships in general.
