After the trailer of Amazon Prime Video's Telugu flick, 'Ek Mini Katha' dropped online, it made all the right noises receiving immense love from the audience and critics. Its makers, director Karthik Ropalu and writer Merlapaka Gandhi who has many films to his credit, including the path breaking entertainer, Venkatadri Express, which is written and directed by him, have dealt with a rather sensitive subject, in a light, tongue-in-cheek way. The romantic comedy starring Santosh Shoban and Kavya Thapar revolves around a common but less spoken about phychological issue faced by the protagonist, Santosh. Given the nature of the subject, it could have easily gone into a different space but Merlapaka Gandhi was very careful of not letting that happen while keeping the sensitivity intact. He aimed at making a perfect family entertainer that could be enjoyed by all, without any hesitation.
