The supporting cast includes Remya Suresh, Swathi Das Prabhu, and Prashanth Alexander. Although they each play smaller roles, they all do their parts well. 'Sarkeet' is an earnest attempt to explore human connection, mental health, and the migrant experience in a quiet, introspective manner. While it may not break new ground, it's a film that succeeds in its performances. Despite these minor shortcomings, 'Sarkeet' remains a quietly moving experience. It's a film that doesn't try to force its point but allows its characters to reveal their humanity slowly. For those who appreciate character-driven stories with a slower, more introspective pace, 'Sarkeet' is definitely worth watching.Read at source
