Ritu is a tremendously sad tale that undertakes a refreshingly tender treatment of diverse themes such as the certainty of transition, the dashing of young fantasies and above all the incessant flow of life. It talks of a generation that has everything laid out on one palm and literally nothing on the other.

Coming from the maker of well-acclaimed films like 'Agnisakshi', 'Akale' and 'Ore Kadal', Rithu has the world of today as the backdrop, and discusses issues related to contemporary life and society. But how far have Shyamaprasad and scenarist Joshua Newtonn been able to do justice to the subject is the moot question.
