Guna Subramaniam

Guna Subramaniam, honestly, is one of those filmmakers who just goes for it—no holding back. “See Saw” (2025) isn’t your average, run-of-the-mill drama. The film plunges straight into the chaos of modern relationships. It’s wild how Subramaniam throws his characters into these impossible situations, then just lets them squirm. The story flips between perspectives — you’re never really sure who’s in the right, who’s out of line. One minute you’re rooting for one side, and then bam, the tables turn. It’s got this dizzying energy, kind of like riding an emotional rollercoaster with the brakes cut. At its core, “See Saw” pokes at the idea that life is just a series of messy trade-offs. Nothing’s clean, nothing’s easy. The dialogue? Sharp. Sometimes a little too real, you know? There’s a dinner scene that’ll probably haunt you – awkward silences, eyes darting, everyone pretending they’re fine. Been there. Subramaniam doesn’t shy away from the ugly stuff, either. The film’s not afraid to sit with discomfort, to dig into resentment and hope and all that complicated junk people carry around. The cinematography’s bold too — lots of close-ups, cramped spaces. You feel trapped, right there with the characters. And the soundtrack? Moody, unpredictable, just like the plot. By the end, you’re kind of exhausted, but in that good way, like you’ve just survived something with these flawed, stubborn, totally human people.
