Featured reviews
It is true that the parents do not want their children to see that lack, suffer the misery they themselves bear, but it is not good for the children to bear the burden of their happiness and sorrows and ambitions.
Director Sudhir Mishra's film Serious Man brings these issues to the fore.
The interiors of this story are beautiful. The writer-director has created an exit strategy for Ayyan and Adi.
But consider that this is not the end of the fight of the fighters for their rights because the status has no connection to the IQ and the talent also has no color (black or blonde).
Some of the film's dialogues are quite effective. At the same time, some scenes between Nawazuddin and Akshat touch the heart.
The film starts off with satire and then becomes poignant and then poignant.
The film based on the book slows down considerably in many parts. The main characters have been given a lot of time to set up, which makes it a bit bored and impacts the storyline.
Films on social bias and discrimination have been made for years, but 'Serial Men' makes its characters different.
As a father, Nawazuddin Siddiqui appears to be the best, while the strong side of the film has emerged as Akshat Das in the role of his son.
He walks shoulder to shoulder with Nawazuddin in every scene.
Nasser is perfect in his character.
But, the director has given very little space to a good actress like Shweta Basu Prasad.
Apart from caste discrimination, 'Serious Men' made under the direction of Sudhir Mishra touches on topics like inequality, lack, corruption, politics. Director Sudhir Mishra has tried to put it in an easy way.
The message of Netflix Serious Men is very important for making a serious and social taunt, but it is served that way easily.

The message of Netflix Serious Men is very important for making a serious and social taunt, but it is served that way easily.
The story weave in all aspects of society like caste discrimination, education institution policies, political involvement and feelings of a father who want to fight against set hierarchy defined by systems for primitive minds.
With the sprinkle of comedy and strong acting by cast has kept this script alive and engaging.
Amazing work by Sudhir mishran, it is must watch movie for parents to avoid pressure on their kids due to existing spoiled and inherited system of ruling and preservance of good with our innerself.
Everything is best in this movie.

The kid (Aakshath Das) shines in Serious Men, a social drama that reminded me of Malayalam comedy Salt Mango Tree (2015), and which is more about the stress that children feel at the hands of their ambitious and competitive guardians and less about class divide despite the montages that show otherwise. Here, the kid's father (Nawazuddin SIddiqui), hailing from a backward caste and having an antagonistic view of the world, uses the caste card and his child to aim for the stars, garnering applause and hollow fame on the way. But for what? Serious Men goes on to throw social commentary at you on how the rich and the influential act as parasites on the downtrodden with ample amounts of quirky humour and useless fillers. But, notably, it also gives you a peek into the ill effects of over ambition, giving a spine-tingling climax to an otherwise humdrum proceedings. Siddiqui, Indira Tiwari, and Nasser are all well-directed by Sudhir Mishra, who has finally had a good comeback since Yeh Saali Zindagi (2011). If you are not ready to accept what Serious Men tells, and not preaches, you, this will be a fine afternoon affair. A better watch to parents with young kids. TN
The flim is good but the some things in movies is missing which were expected which were fullfilled. I think there should not be adult scenes in movie. It's doesnot suits the movie. If it was not there then movie was to be good. It's way of expressing message was heartfelt. Nawaz sir acting was as usual.
There will be a special place in my heart for this film. This film can be considered as one of the finest films of this year. Nawazuddin Siddiqui and others do a fantastic job. Story and screenplay is also good. Definitely recommend 👍.
