Lijomol Jose Wants Lighter Roles After Intense Performances
The Story in Brief
Actor Lijomol Jose says she would like to play lighter characters after taking on several intense roles in Malayalam and Tamil cinema. She was introduced in Maheshinte Prathikaaram and gained wider attention as Senggeni in Jai Bhim. Her recent films include Ponman, Samshayam, Nadanna Sambhavam and Baby Girl.
In Unmadham, Jose plays Soumya, the frustrated wife of Shelly, an aspiring screenwriter and police officer played by Kunchacko Boban. She developed the character with writer Shahi Kabir and director Kiran Das. The film also explores Shelly’s depression and medication. Jose said some situations drew from Kabir’s married life, but Soumya is not a direct portrait.
The Indian Opinion
Jose’s wish for lighter roles reflects a reasonable desire for variety, but it is too early to conclude that she is permanently typecast. Viewers should also distinguish a fictional character’s frustration from a judgement about real marriages. The film’s treatment of depression and medication may invite discussion, though the available details do not show how deeply these issues are handled.
