Protagonist Laila has cerebral palsy, a neurological disorder, but that is the least of the film’s focus. The story is all about the journey of finding love. She faces heart breaks and yet knows how to enjoy life. The story, the screenplay, and the direction is so engrossing that you are lost forever in the world of Laila. Go for It!!

For the `abled’ to realistically portray a disabled person is incredibly tough : Kalki pulls it off, and makes us believe and invest in her Laila. Laila is certainly not a `bechari’– that poor thing, to be pitied and patronized : she acknowledges her difficulties but doesn’t let them overwhelm her, as she trundles down the path, to find herself. For our cinema to acknowledge this is an achievement.

Margarita With a Straw, an offbeat drama that is both sensitive and provocative.The wonderfully well-scripted film focuses on the most intimate physical and emotional needs of a woman with cerebral palsy. Do not pass up a sip of Margarita, With A Straw. It could be life-altering. If nothing else, it will soak you with its warmth.
