Sunday Special (2025)
Overview
Sunday Special is a Kannada family comedy about an 11-year-old girl who recruits her father and grandparents to chase down a chicken curry on Gandhi Jayanti, the one day of the year when meat sales are legally off-limits. The Traditional label follows naturally from the premise: the whole plot engine is a child's determination to preserve a multigenerational family ritual, and the adults around her are participants in that tradition rather than obstacles to it. The political satire is light and aimed at enforcement hypocrisy rather than ideology, which keeps the film grounded in personal and domestic stakes. Karnataka family customs sit at the center, treated with warmth rather than irony.
