Synopsis

Watch: Margarita with a Straw 2014 123movies, Full Movie Online – ***SPOILERS ALERT!!*** Laila is a teenager with cerebral palsy, studying at Delhi University. She is an aspiring writer and also composes music for an indie band at the university. Laila develops feelings for the lead singer, but is heartbroken when she is rejected. Moving on from the experience, Laila is overjoyed to receive a scholarship for a semester’s study at New York University. Despite her father’s reservations, she moves to Greenwich Village, Manhattan with her orthodox Maharashtrian mother Shubhangini. Laila meets an attractive young man named Jared, who is assigned to help her in the creative writing class. She also meets a young activist, Khanum (Gupta), a blind girl of Pakistani-Bangladeshi descent, with whom she falls in love. Laila is enamored by Khanum’s fiercely independent personality and her positive perspective towards her own disability. The two spend most of their time together, filling in as each other’s caregivers. Laila becomes confused about her sexual orientation, as she is attracted to men-Jared in particular-while being in a serious relationship with Khanum. She has sex with Jared, only to regret it immediately. Laila does not tell Khanum about this encounter. Oblivious to her daughter’s relationship with Khanum, Laila’s mother invites Khanum to Delhi to spend the winter vacation with Laila’s family. Laila ultimately finds the courage to tell her mother about her sexuality and her relationship with Khanum, both of which her mother strongly disapproves of. Laila also confesses to Khanum that she had sex with Jared and asks for her forgiveness. Feeling betrayed by Laila, Khanum breaks up with her and leaves for New York. Laila’s mother is diagnosed with advanced colon cancer which has relapsed after previous treatments. Laila and her mother move past their differences while Laila tends to her mother at the hospital. The two eventually reconcile shortly before Shubhangini’s death. Laila plays a recorded speech at her mother’s funeral telling how much she loved her and how she was the only one who ever understood her. Laila is later seen enjoying a day in the country by herself..
Plot: A rebellious young woman with cerebral palsy leaves India to study in New York. On her journey of self-discovery, she unexpectedly falls in love.

A fun inspiring movie with truths about reality and acceptance
This film teaches us that irrespective of whatever condition you are born with- being blind or having cerebral palsy or whatever event happens in your life which changes your life’s circumstance, you should attempt to not be low on self confidence and self esteem and you have every right to command respect as an individual in your own right, have fun in your own way ie whatever your natural self desires to do and have a positive attitude to everything in life. The question is of whether you are able to be an individual who can follow his or her desire to the fullest as you rightfully should be able to without worrying about its consequences on other people close to you or worrying but making effort to tackle the same truthfully honestly or are you an individual who compromises and sacrifices for others and controls oneself from fulfilling his or her complete desires. The film specifically reveals the reality of natural sexual desire which is there in all human beings but that desire can be anything and being a homosexual, lesbian or bisexual isn’t really a crime as many think of it but is an individual preference. This preference is sometimes not easily acceptable by the individual or the society as we have pre conceived notions about what we consider normal and what we don’t. There is nothing wrong in that as thats probably wired into our brains but on thinking we should be able to accept what is not normal as well and let individuals just BE!

Overall good acting by Kalki and a good watch.

Review By: abhinavparekh
Pace is very slow
The thought behind this movie is very interesting that physical limitations can’t limit your mind but it’s also true that if your limb gets broken then you have to realize it and then you have to cross this obstacle by smart thinking. This movie tells about a person, who has physical limitations but not ready to accept it. Doing everything, wanting everything, without thinking about the possibilities of getting it or not. I couldn’t understand the logic behind the title even. The love track with a blind girl is too filmy when I was expecting some realistic and smart way to get inside mind of such type of person. Emotional quotient in this film is very shallow. I only felt emotional bonding between mother and daughter but can’t get that much emotion with the central character’s life. She is very good in music but movie roams around other tracks without showing that she can do wonder in music and thus challenging her physical limitations. Performance wise Kalki Koechlin impresses with her performance. Sayani Gupta as Khanum is very good. Revathi as Mother is fantastic.
