Movie Review:: Gippi:: Big yippee for Gippi (3.5/5)


What's Great: A simple movie which has everything in it ... romance, drama, comedy, embarrassment, many real vulnerable moments teenagers face and a sad heartbreak. Its a funny-teen-masala movie as it touches all the elements of a teenager's life like 'dancing madly when no one is watching you', 'tension between parents', 'a typical mean over-ambitious classmate who's actually good in everything', 'first crush, attraction and heartbreak', 'importance of your family and best friends', 'inferiority or superiority complex' and 'adolescence and adulthood'.

What's Good: Some fab young actors. Simple script. Little dramatic end.
The movie talks about issues such as adolescence, homosexuality and menstruation without a blush.
Many well-written scenes where we see Gippi going through situations that help her grow up. The casting is appropriate,  14 yr old Riya Vij plays the vulnerable yet believable Gippi perfectly. All the other young actors are superb like Gippi's brother, her best friend Anchal and the vamp Shamira. You will definitely love the scenes in second half when the good for nothing Gippi takes on the all-rounder Shamira!!!
The film gives out a bigger message of being your own self and not trying too hard to be like someone else, let the world love you for what you are. That's the main mantra of Happiness !!!

You must watch it once and you will surely love the simplicity and sweetness

Rating : 3.5/5
