All We Imagine As Light Review: A Cinematic Symphony of Mumbai’s Heart and Female Solidarity

We see Hindi films, Malayalam films, Tamil films, and Marathi films being made every year. Each state’s film industry churns out a large number of movies throughout the year. Some languages even have a new movie releasing every Friday—that’s the volume. But hardly any of these movies are capable of portraying an Indian story. Don’t get me wrong, all the industries are doing their best, but you don’t often see them capturing the linguistic, social, and cultural diversity that makes our country so unique. They are mostly limited to their own languages and cultures. And this is exactly where All We Imagine As Light manages to shine and stand out. We hear more than ten different languages in its 2-hour runtime, and although most of it is Malayalam and Hindi, there’s a fair chunk of Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil, Bengali, etc.
