Sundari Gardens

Sundari Gardens is one of those movies you can map out from the beginning; still, you watch it with the anticipation of being amazed, but you're sadly not 😔

DELICIOUS

-The film gently opened us to Suma's world, understanding her painful journey.

The introductory scenes gave us a good sense of her purpose to defend her students and stand for justice

-We'll never get tired of saying this, it's SO ENERGIZING to see a female-centered story in Mollywood!

BLAND

-So, Victor (Neeraj Madhav) was introduced in the film as the new English teacher, yet, we never saw him teach.

He just kept on walking around the hallway, being conveniently located at the right places. We didn't quite grasp his goal or who he was

-Music was ever-present and overpowering that it didn't allow us to digest the serene moments of the plot

-The camera wasn't completing the narrative, e.g., it missed important close-ups that we had to pause and get closer to the screen to analyze some important details

-The sequence of events was, for the most part, expected; nothing out of the ordinary.

-Why was Suma's library always empty?🤔

As per ma view should appreciate cameraman and music director for sure . Apart from that nothing worth in this movie .More negative messages throught the movie on dialogues...encouraging egotism..not valuing relationship.. since experienced actors ,acted well .. Kindly asking director that don't spoil society like the way all spoiled already.. please try to convey positive and useful messages via cinema.. as per me cinema is a largest influence for most of the young people..as caste of Aparna she not even clear about her character ..as a fan of her I really feel very guilty for this one.as well couldnt shown on what basis they are getting in love each other if she can handle herself then why she got love on him then why showing possessed and y that much music plays for these.!!

In my point of view this movie is so special to me. I really like Neeraj madhav's character he has done a beautiful role as Victor, Very understanding inocent character. As a fan of Neeraj madhav i also like all his movies especially "Gauthamante radham" it is one of my favourite movie, the character of Victor and Gautham was very similar. And one of the best movie of Aparna Balamurali. It's been almost 2 or 3 years since this movie is released, i didn't heard about this movie. But recently i found "Madhura jeeva ragam" song on spotify then i fell in love with that song, played it again and again. Everyone should watch this movie, this is a feel good movie. That's all.

*** Sundari Gardens Movie Review ****

Written & Directed by Charlie Davis , starring Aparna Balamurali , Neeraj Madhav in lead role...

Streaming in Sony Liv OTT platform...

A feel good entertainment movie....

Plot of The Movie...

Sundari Mathew played by Aparna Balamurali is a librarian working in the school which she studied.. Sundari is a 32 year old lady divorcee plus a cancer survivor too but her personality is way opposite to it & thereby people will not be in a state of sympathy towards her. This I feel a positive factor and paves a way of motivational factor to those women's going across such similar struggles in their life..

Then comes professor Victor Paul played by Neeraj Madhav. An incident happened to a girl student thereby connecting Sundari Mathew & Victor Paul which paves a way for their friendship and what all incidents happens in their life which lifts up and down in their relationship forms the rest part of the story....

Positive Factors of the Movie....

1) After Soorari Pottaru, another Stellar Performance from Aparna Balamurali. A lady who is a divorcee, a cancer survivor may falls and breaks in her life but instead life is not to cried but to face with courage & also leave the moment.. Aparna had showcased by her emotions... On one side a love towards Victor but when she understands the difficulty in the relationship, taking matured steps & getting to move on carrying the pain had been beautifully portrayed by Aparna...

2) Neeraj Madhav had also given a good performance...

3) Location of Wagaman & Wayanad had been beautifully captured...

4) Songs was pleasant....

Negative Factors of The Movie...

1) A seaaoned artist like Vijay Raghavan shouldn't be given a extended cameo... Instead like Director Ratheesh Balakrishnan Poduval, natural people with no filmy experience but having a personal life experience so that naturality can be observed more...

Overall a feel good entertainment movie with no room of boredom..

One of the good movies I watched recently and its my first review about cinema. Simple story line, strong script, seamless direction, cinematography, back ground score and what else the performance of lead characters! Relatable story in every ones life and it feels real. Few comments what I believe could have made it more beautiful are - blending of songs in the first half, title of the movie, not so striking which gives us a push to watch the movie however after watching the it seems to be very apt. The second half is touching. Could have paid more attention on the marketing strategies to get more reach before the release. Thank you for the entire SG Team for giving us a nice movie. Worth spending nearly 2hrs. Go for it guys and take away few moments with you.
