Pixelia Trailers

Kumar, a bachelor in his thirties leaves his corporate job in Kochi to become a graphic novelist. He embarks on a new life as an Uber driver in Kochi while working on his graphic novel titled ‘Pixelia’. One day a transgender woman named Mandakini gets into his cab and that day changes Kumar’s life forever. Kumar and Mandakini spend the whole day where they open each other’s minds. Mandakini shares her past life and her desire to adopt a child while Kumar narrates the story of his graphic novel to her. Gradually a bonding ensues between Kumar and Mandakini making Kumar realise about his queer identity. As they start a relationship, Kumar gets into deeper conflicts regarding adopting a child, as adoption by queer parents is realistically difficult in a country like India. Pixelia, a movie with a stylistic blend of documentary and magical realism talks about the fragmentation in our daily lives.

Reviews
StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
