Mithya (2025) English Subtitle - Healing Through Silence and Childhood Resilience
Mithya (2025) is an emotionally resonant Kannada-language drama directed by Sumanth Bhat, exploring the tender and turbulent inner world of a grieving child. At the heart of this story is Mithun, a soft-spoken 11-year-old who has just lost both his parents. What unfolds is a beautifully restrained, quietly powerful film about memory, trauma, and the subtle strength it takes to start over.
Set against the gentle backdrops of coastal Karnataka, Mithya is more about feeling than plot. Mithun’s journey—marked by uncertain steps in a new home, interactions with distant relatives, and failed attempts to make friends—is hauntingly real. It’s in the silence between his words, the blank stares, and the slow shifts in his body language that the film captures the ache of absence.
Athish Shetty delivers a deeply moving performance as Mithun, managing to convey volumes through stillness and gaze. He is supported ably by Prakash Thuminad and Roopa Varkady, who bring warmth and grounded emotion to their roles. The direction by Sumanth Bhat is delicate, never manipulative, allowing the audience to sit with the pain and moments of grace as they naturally unfold.
The cinematography by Udit Khurana gives the film its poetic rhythm, making full use of quiet interiors and lush exteriors to mirror Mithun’s emotional state. Midhun Mukundan’s music is understated yet evocative, elevating key moments without overwhelming them. Editing by Bhuvanesh Manivannan ensures the film breathes, embracing silence as a narrative tool.
Produced by Rakshit Shetty, Mithya stands out as a rare Indian film that centers child psychology with empathy and nuance. It doesn't rush to deliver answers, but rather embraces the uncertainty and emotional complexity of loss.
At just 1 hour 40 minutes, Mithya is compact, contemplative, and deeply human. It is a film about loss, yes, but more importantly, about how life reclaims us—slowly, through kindness, routine, and connection.
