Skater Girl Movie Story & Performances:
The movie started with a scene where we saw an overjoyed Ankush
(Shafin Patel) was sitting on a rudimentary skateboard and his elder sister Prerna
(Rachel Saanchita Gupta) was pulling it with a rope.
They grew up at Khempur, a small village of Rajasthan where people
are separated based on their caste. They are from the backward class so they
are treated accordingly by others. Prerna’s classmate Subodh(Vinayak Gupta) who
is a Brahmin but helped her and later formed a good friendship with her.
The story took a turn when Jessica (Amrit Maghera) arrives at
Khempur to spend her holidays and refreshing her memories of childhood. A few
days later her friend Erick (Jonathan Readwin) also arrives there with a
skateboard that attracts children including Prerna.
They requested Erick to train them for skateboarding and he
agreed. The story became more interesting with progress. There was also a Skateboarding
competition in the climax.
Desert Dolphin was the title the movie was given during the
production phase. Director Manjari Makijany is also the writer of this movie
along with her sister Vinati Makijany. They are the daughters of the actor
Mohan Makijany best known as Mac Mohan, who played the character of “Sambha” the
the “Sholay” movie starring Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra.
The well-written characters and Salim-Sulaiman’s music were the
strong areas of “Skater Girl”. Manjari Makijany was the assistant director on Bollywood
movies like Wake Up Sid starring Ranbir Kapoor and Saat Khoon Maaf starring
Priyanka Chopra.
Rachel Saanchita Gupta delivered an outstanding performance
as Prerna. Shafin Patel was not far behind and contributed with a pivotal performance
as Ankush. Waheeda Rahman was seen in a cameo appearance as Maharani.
Amrit Maghera & Jonathan Readwin contributed with
satisfactory performances. Amrit Maghera’s fight against all odds was another good
point about “Skater Girl”. The rest of the cast also contributed well with
their respective characters.
In the end, the "Skater Girl" sports drama movie sends a strong message to every parent
that we should encourage our children to follow their dreams and give them one
chance to do what they want. One small step can change their whole life.
