Just Married, directed by debutant Bobby CR attempts to blend family drama, psychological intrigue, and social commentary under the canopy of a wedding celebration. Moview opens with a lavish wedding between Surya (Shine Shetty), a charming but troubled ad filmmaker, and Sahana (Ankita Amar), a woman with dreams of studying in Australia. But beneath the glittering rituals lies a family history riddled with betrayal, addiction, and emotional scars. Surya belongs to a 250 yearold lineage where every male heir is said to be cursed undone by their weakness for women. Sahana, aware of this legacy, marries with caution and conditions. As the story unfolds, we meet Surya’s grandfather Poornachandra (Devaraj), a retired judge haunted by nostalgia, and his uncle Shishupala (Sriman), a politician with ambitions and secrets. The narrative spirals into multiple subplots: Anand (Anup Bhandari) and Jyothi (Sakshi Agarwal) navigate a mysterious relationship; Anjali (Shruthi Hariharan), a divorcee, seeks closure; and Surya himself begins to experience hallucinations that blur the line between memory and madness.
Bobby CR, known for her work in music, makes a bold directorial debut. She stages the wedding with cinematic flair—bright colors, traditional rituals, and familial chaos. But she doesn’t stop at surfacelevel celebration. The screenplay dives into darker themes, generational trauma, emotional manipulation, and the illusion of perfection. Political ambition, psychological illness, romantic betrayal, and ancestral guilt all compete for attention. Ajaneesh Loknath’s music is a highlight. The soundtrack blends folk, classical, and contemporary moods. Songs like “Tappu Maado Sahaja” (Mistakes Are Natural) offer lyrical depth and emotional resonance. Cinematography by PG captures both grandeur and intimacy especially in scenes set in the ancestral home.
Movie shows Knowing your family’s past doesn’t make it easier to escape it but awareness is the first step . Marriage is not a cure it’s a mirror that reflects both love and unresolved pain .
