Sembi

I am just speechless, these days we get very few movies on such topics, the actors who worked on this film are totally amazing and here I'm specially for Kovai Sarala Ma'am she deserves an award for such mind blowing performance never imagined her in such films apart of commedy movies. Such a legendary actor she is. I am her fan now almost watches every film of her even if I don't understand the language she speaks in I watch it with and without subtitles just for her because she is sweetheart, and being a mother of a girl child now I will definitely suggest people to watch this masterpiece out.

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.

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.

Sembi is a well-directed, acted, produced, and heart-hitting story. It presents harsh reality of poor people and also motivates humans to be humans and behave as humans. This movie has a simple but strong plot catching your attention from the beginning till the end of the story. The characters are life-like and their acting catches our attention throughout the whole of the story. It makes you cry and breaks your heart immediately and frequently through its actions. It introduces us the great POCSO Act of Indian Constitution weaved and made to protect children from insane rapists and molesters. I request everyone to watch this movie which is available on Hotatar OTT.
