5. Margarita With A Straw
This movie beautifully portrays how a mother will always be there for you when anybody else won’t.
In this movie, Shubhangini (played by Revathy) is always there for her daughter’s (Kalki Koechlin) illness, her homosexuality, or her failures. There’s nothing that can change her way of looking at her daughter or her immense love for her. This film deals with the challenging concepts of sexuality, inclusion, self-love, and self-acceptance.
