Rithu is a beautiful film which happens to us or among us. We all commonly have two problems.. Either we stick on to dreams and live n fantasy or in the name of moving on, we forget what we are. Our tradition,our values and even our purpose of lives. Today through an IT job our wallets are full and v don’t realise the value of money. We end up n night outs, pubs, parties and what not… where goes the real talent? Passion? Relationships?values? we search one after the other which is virtual and just end up in depression and frustration.. At the end of the journey we haven’t done anything for benefit ourselves or to the society. Rithu is one such self realization of the characters in the film. An entrepreneur sacrifices her family life for her career. She is proud to achieve billion dollars project. But is life dedicated for professional life or personal life??? A perfect person should ideally balance everything.. profession … personal.. social… there may be ups and downs n the ratio… too much of one thing will always spoil the other…. The film also talks about the homeless and humiliated people when the IT villages are developed in the city outskirts. There are no details on that though. They are left to struggle and survive like in reality.
Rithu is one such film of life… Time to wake up and protect our values, passion and the real talent…
Seasons change.. do we….
