Mooka Jeeva, inspired by JM Prahlad’s novel, is set to release in theaters this week. The film is set in a struggling rural family, exploring their difficult life as they eventually make their way to the busy city. Directed by Srinath Vasishta, it stars Karthik Mahesh in the lead role. The story emphasizes human resilience and the pursuit of freedom in the face of hardship.
The narrative revolves around a family facing numerous challenges. With the father absent, the mother works hard to support her two children—a son and a daughter. The daughter grapples with societal pressures about marriage but feels compelled to stay close to her mother due to their difficult circumstances. The son, Shreekanth, is the central character whose journey as a deaf and mute individual highlights the experiences of differently-abled people.
What makes Mooka Jeeva stand out is its courageous storytelling. Director Srinath Vasishta emphasizes that the film does not portray disabilities as weaknesses; instead, it celebrates the strength and determination of its characters to lead fulfilling lives. This narrative resonates not only with the differently-abled community but also encourages audiences to reconsider societal norms. Produced by M Venkatesh and Manjula through A V Entertainment, the film features a talented cast, including Shreeharsha, Apoorva Shree, and Meghashree.
