Sea of Love is a quiet storm — a film that sails gently on the surface but crashes hard within. Directed by Sai Krishna and featuring powerful performances by Dilsha Prasannan and Meera Nair, this poignant love story set in a sleepy coastal village dares to step into the forbidden terrain of lesbian love in Kerala, with grace, realism, and a much-needed dose of empathy.
The story follows Ratheesh (Jibnu Jacob), a migrant worker from Singapore who returns home with dreams of settling down in his idyllic village. His quiet life takes an unexpected turn when he falls for Jumaila (Dilsha), a bidi roller who keeps her distance, not out of arrogance, but out of a secret that could shake societal norms. What starts as a one-sided love story slowly unravels into a tale of misunderstood identities and suppressed desires.
Dilsha Prasannan is the soul of the film — her portrayal of Jumaila is layered, internal, and affecting. Meera Nair as Jumaila's secret partner brings tenderness and fire to the screen in equal measure. Together, they build a fragile but beautiful world of love, set against the lush green backdrop of Kerala's backwaters.
The cinematography captures the village's natural beauty with poetic stillness, while the background score — soft, haunting, and minimal — enhances the emotional pull of the narrative. The dialogues are subtle yet impactful, and the silences speak even louder.
Sai Krishna deserves praise for handling such a delicate subject .
