A cheerful and fun-loving Sara working towards her dream of becoming a filmmaker meets Jeevan with whom she relates on various of her choices, especially the choice of not having a child. The movie is a light-hearted take on how society and family pressurize young couples in matters concerning relationships, marriage and pregnancy.

Sunny wayne kinda cringe bro
in this conventional film sara wants to make an unconventional film
Anna Ben *smiles*
Anna Ben *glares into the camera*
Anna Ben again *smiles*
Sunny Wayne simply is bland like a cardboard. So basically just two emotions of Anna Ben all over the film and some wokery for the sake of it. Miss it.
Although I have some reservations with some technical choices in the movie, I am completely satisfied with its choices made on the story.
It was high time we had a pro-choice movie in Malayalam instead of the pro life movie we seemed to get from time to time.
One thing that impressed me most is the clever choices they made on the climatic portion of the movie.
It didn't had a big speech about husband letting her do things and the climatic teases were a nice slap on those who were expecting otherwise..
Jude Anthany Joseph - 1

After a brief hiatus of 5 years, Jude Anthany Joseph bounces back to form with his latest film, Sara’S. And the highlight is that this is not just another addition to the canon of feel-good romantic comedies in Malayalam Cinema, but also comes with a supremely relevant social message.
Sara’S takes a dig at the dated social norms associated with parenthood, and scores big time. Also, it breaks the stereotypes when it comes to the character arcs of the in-laws, which in turn works to the advantage of the narrative and the message it wants to convey.
As far as performances are concerned, Anna Ben steals the show all the way. Sunny Wayne delivers…
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Lighthearted: The heavily handled and controversial subject matter is depicted in an entertaining way. The movie has emotional scenes but they don’t get too emotional as to change the tone of the film. Anna Ben plays the titular character. A young woman who knows exactly what she wants in life. A modern woman with hopes and dreams. She wants to be a filmmaker and doesn’t want kids, like ever. Then she finds a man who will support her.
The problem: To me the movie felt very predictable. I also wish the movie had a little more depth. Due to the tone of the film, the contentious subject felt like it was taken rather lightly. I completely get what the film…
Another very important social drama served in an easily consumable manner which is comprehensive enough to not require any subtlety. Anti-natalism itself is a subject in dire need of being addressed so that it can be normalized in the long run. Sara's becomes a first mover in that sense without any dilution or mockery. Some very essential questions about life and autonomy are raised with jibes here and there for comic relief.
I only have some issues with the abundance of songs, a commercial element, because they fast-track proceedings and complex events get round up in quick montages. However, they don't take much away from the film the focus of which is quite singular.
PS: Abhorred the pre-credits plug in. Totally unnecessary.
