Sembi

Very well said the story behind pocso act. Ashwin acting is good in this movie as an advocate.

Kovai Sarla mam as usual done a great job. There is no flaw in this movie. Every one want to see this movie.

Prabu Solomon always gives his best in different journal.

I thought that vilians will win in the climax while watching the movie. But director given justice to the character.

Great work by the sembi team.

Real face of the politicians has been shown in this movie. All are equal, that we should understand.

After seen the movie I hate more the politicians and the police.

As we are in multiculture country, everyone should treat equally.

The movie creates lasting impressions on audience. Sembi is the old lady from the downtrodden society. Her girl grand child is brutally raped by spoiled young adults from political families. The narrative about how bus passengers from different walks of life imbibing the pain the girl child went through is laudable. The transformation of each and every passenger from a spectator to being a part of bringing justice to the girl is classic. The scene shifting passenger between moving buses lack efforts. Kovai sarala and Ashwin did a neat performance. General Awareness of the POCSO act is another good message conveyed!!

Child abusing is a worst negative topic and it has taken over the tamil films as there are multiple movies about it coming along from the past year, its really annoying to see that the negativity is being spread in all these films, there's a thin line of difference in creating awareness & spreading negativity and film makers should become more responsible in handling such topics carefully as it might have net negative impact on the society as a whole.

It is somewhat satisfactory to see that the positive side of the abused kid being transformed with a male protagonist role and how the kid's life would just move and on & wont get stuck get in there.

On this topic, the only new thing that this film tells is about the POCSO act and nothing else.

The film shows the actual talent of who Kovai Sarala is and what talent she possesses, we've seen her in mockery kinda funny characters for the past several years, and seeing her in a serious role is truly refreshing and unique allowing her to showcase her ability as an actress, she played it nicely all over but the special mention of it was the scene where she's been informed in the hospital about her grand kid's incident and the way she tries to react to it, just shows her talent as an actress.

Other than that, the usual kinda environment & characters in the directors' previous flicks makes this one also almost similar but with a mix of different plot and not-so-boring sequences as the film travels mostly in a bus which demands the screenplay to be a bit racy and engaging makes it watchable to some extent. Yet, it could've been well made by removing some of the unnecessary sequences.

The cinematography was good as it beautifully depicted the misty mountains but the music/BGM didn't add much value at all.

Overall, it deserves a one-time watch.

I liked this movie very much, even though it has lot of unbelievable turning of events and cinematic climax. The best part is that the situation, location and camera works helped very much for the flow of the movie.

The first kudos to Kovai Sarala and the kid for holding the whole movie on their shoulder. Second one to Director on Believing her. Ashwin character is bit of masala but the climax scene gives compeltely different meaning to his character well done.

This one looks like the mixture of Prabhu Solomon's earlier movie's good scenes. There is no dull moment and highly entertaining one.

Sembi is a movie that strives to give audiences all the feels. It's is a sad reality check, for what happens on-screen is what happens off as well.

Prabu Solomon sir has done a good job in capturing and conveying the essence of the film to the audience. The script is the true hero of the film. The screen play was really good as well especially in the in the 1st half and in the climax.

Nivas K Prasanna has also done amazing work with the songs and BGM in the film which also aid in conveying the essence of the film.

Kovai Sarala ma'am & Nila have given award-winning performances. Ashwinkumar's performance was really good as well and his character is the driving force in the 2nd half. As a fan of his, I couldn't be more proud of the amount of courage, honesty & determination he's shown. I wish & pray for him to do many more such movies in the future. All other actors have performed their role to their best capabilities.

The cinematography/visuals & the bus stunt sequence are really worth mentioning.

Overall this film is a must watch for everyone who want to see quality cinema. If you think that the film will have over the top dialogues, stunt sequences, romance, unnecessary songs or item numbers then you are mistaken and will be disappointed.

The film showcases the reality with some cinematic liberty and indicates the importance of the society coming together to help someone in an detrimental situation and to bring justice to the victim irrespective of age, gender, colour, creed, race, religion or status. At the end of the film you will be left with shed/unshed tears and hope that there will always be someone "unnamed" to help and god to protect and that the truth will always win.
