Sundari Gardens

The story is a wonderful combination of a love story and a family drama.

Neeraj madhav and Aparna balamurali did a nice job. There was a sense of true authenticity in every actor's performance. The charm of the tranquil town in which it is set shining through the screen, which adds to the film's grounded nature.

Watch this movie. I recommend it to everyone.

Valare pathuke aanu cinema yude kadha pokunathu pakshe athu bore adipikunna reethyil onnu thanne alla.

Ee movie underated aayi pokaruthu ennu mathram aanu eniku parayan ullathu

Expecting a lot of movies like this in the future.

Charlie davis direction good screenplay excellent camera good.

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 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?🤔

*** 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..

The movie is kinda dragging and boring. They could have done way better with more emotional scenarios and life search scenes.

I am unable to connect with the romantic pairs as they lack chemistry and the movie just jumps here and there with songs thrown everywhere and loads of wine.

Jude: You need to find better roles. This one does not do justice for you.

Gardens? I was expecting more with nature, love for the surrounding and tharavadu. They just came in a few scenes.

The Male lead character lacks dept and does not add the much-needed impact. He just smiles and moves on like butter.

Overall it's very boring but a good attempt on certain social issues, which other film industries are scared to touch.
