 Review

The beauty of the movie is its simplicity and relativity. I mean in various parts of India there are so many underprivileged and talented working as a laborer in a factory or an office but the character I loved in the movie was Mr  Mishra goes to Anuja's office and tells her “Only two left for examination if you want the way scene in looked very authentic. The arguments between Mr. Mishra and Anuja's boss set the tone for the movie, and the way Anuja's boss argues with Mr Mishra clearly shows what kind of attitude Anuja's boss has.

Good Details 

The way the movie showcases small details, such as dirty machines. Walls add another flavor of authenticity. The director was keen to show Anuja and Palak’s struggle as hard-hitting and impactful on the other side of Palak’s work in a factory in a limited duration director tried to show difficulties in the lives of these two sisters.  The story is so simple that everyone can relate to it. The movie starts with a scene where Palak is telling a story of a snake and a mongoose. In the next scene, Anuja's teacher reaches the factory.

A Simple and an Emotional Story

 The movie depicts the simple and emotional story of 9 Years Anuja and the conflicts in her life one side, she is gaining an opportunity, and on the other side, she is living a very dismal life, and the scholarship could allow her to upgrade her life. The story is inspiring and showcases the life of Anuja in a beautiful and heart-touching way.   Coming to acting two Sajda and Ananya showed terrific chemistry. These two characters carried the documentary on their shoulder. After these two girls. The actor who won hearts with his acting is Nagesh Bhonsle. Shines in a role with a negative shade. The scene teacher argues with the contractor shows his brilliance as an actor.

Conclusion

 To summarize, Anuja is a decent movie with a simple and emotional story of a cute 9-year-old Anuja that can be seen once without expecting too much.
