D/O Parvathamma explores a mother’s dilemma about daughter’s career and settling down

In a film called

D/O Parvathamma

that has Sumalatha Ambareesh and Hariprriya in lead roles, naturally, the focus is on the two ladies and the relationship they share onscreen. Directed by debutant Shankar J, the film has been talked about for being Hariprriya’s first outing as an investigative officer in what is her milestone 25th film. One track of the story is about her character Vaidehi’s investigation of a particular case. But her relationship with her

mother

, Parvathamma, played by Sumalatha, is also in the spotlight, and explores how seeing a

daughter

‘settled down’ is important for parents. “Parvathamma is, no doubt, supportive of Vaidehi’s career choice, but like all well-meaning parents, she too wants to see her daughter married, owing to which there are skirmishes between them. Does she come around and respect her daughter’s choices forms a part of the story,” explains Shankar.
