Sundari Gardens follows the story of a protagonist who falls in love with her colleague only to find out that he likes someone else. What happens next? The story is a sweet, simple and feel-good kind of a drama which often comes as a breath of fresh air amidst the thrillers and mysteries doing the rounds. The screenplay standing at a shade under two hours guarantees a crisp watch.

The drama from the onset has a positive vibe to it. You are introduced to the protagonist and the people around her in a nice little setup. The unassumingly charming introduction of the protagonist does set off sparks in a subtle manner. The entire world building is believable and rooted to reality, so nothing does feel out of place.

The drama is fairly predictable that does get slightly repetitive in the first hour. A few subplots are decently well penned, however they contribute little to the overall screenplay. The leisurely paced drama is suddenly jolted with the introduction of the conflict which is then followed by a tragedy. I did feel the tragedy could have either had a little buildup or its repercussions could have slightly lasted a little longer. Because this little period did seem a little hurried.

But the second hour truly captures the essence of the drama perfectly. It has a feel good ring to it making it seem like a long and warm embrace. There are moments of magic which really did connect with me in the most soothing manner. There are a few predictable twists and turns which are interesting and engrossing. With just 15 minutes remaining for the film to end, I again thought that the final act would be rushed. But to my surprise, the final act was grounded and simplistic but not hurried in any manner. Overall, a sweet little screenplay which manages to tug the strings of your heart.
