Serious Men - Not at all a usual movie watching experience, it's very much different from other movies. It touches various social issues throughout the film especially the caste system. Cinematography is done brilliantly, every frame speaks itself. There is so much humour throughout the film and it's very good.
Now, there is Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the lead role, so it's obvious that there will be no complain about acting. But the show stealer is of course the child actor Aakshath Das. Nassar & Indira Tiwari also support the film very well. Hope to see Indira Tiwari in future again. Finally Sudhir Mishra is back again in his old form.

NETFLIX'S SERIOUS MEN is outrageously splendid. One of the best commentaries on the corrupt notion across religion, caste, politics, and science. That's what cinema should be doing. Bring out thought-provoking real stories to reel. This is Nawaz's award-winning act where his body language, dialogue delivery are able to bring out the pain, agony, suffering, frustration, happiness, ambitions, and above all- love for his son.
His son played by Aakshath Das is another gem to watch as he shines like a diamond. He is able to bring out all the emotions that a small kid would feel.
The climax is gonna make your heart skip a beat in a subtle way where we have Nawaz explaining his action and also, course correction. I was overwhelmed. Nowadays, I hardly see a movie with an ending that offers a complete closure. 'Serious Men' has that ending.
This is one of the finest movies that Bollywood has to offer and would like to recommend it to everyone. A true celebration of movie making that can't be missed. And that I'm saying on a serious note!

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.

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 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.
