    A movie that is well written

    Ammu is a women that may be a part of our own household.. .. people may think that it's 2022 and this is not happening now ... the director has researched and a lot of work has gone into this movie .. it may seem like a movie we have watched before and not a new story .. but this not a story... we all ask women why did they not leave .. it's a million dollar question that is super easy to ask a women or a man in an abusive household.. going through with it takes courage that only the person who has gone through it makes when they reach a certain breaking point

    This is a must watch .. cheers to our men and women who have made that courage to live and fought in situations like these ..

    Ammu

    No clue why this movie has a less than 7.5 rating . That's the minimum it deserves . Truly great acting by the lead characters Aishwarya Lekshmi and Naveen Chandra . It's amazing how Ms. Aishwarya is choosing the right stories that the world needs and also giving more than her 100% to it . She deserves more praise and accolades for this movie and I hope she continues to pick such stories . As a woman too , it's inspiring to see her not compromise on the movies and stories she picks . Watched her Kumari movie on Netflix as well and that's great as well . She surely became notable after her role in PS1 , however the extent to which she got to demonstrate her acting prowess is way higher in stories such as this . Naveen Chandra as always has done his best and has proved that he is a versatile actor . He is one of the nicest and hardworking actors the film industry is fortunate to have.

    Must watch!!

    A very subtle and intelligent take on an abusive woman's relation and journey. Great performances, great screenplay and is always a relevant subject. Loved the movie and would recommend everyone to watch. Movies like this should be made more often as it's always not about entertainment, it's about relevance. And it lived up to that mark.

    Men or women, narcissistic behavior is never acceptable and this movie will be a slap on the face of every person who behaves like one behind closed doors. Hope atleast one woman gets some courage to get out of a failed abusive marriage after watching this movie.

    Amazing movie!!

    One striking difference between other women centric movies and 'Ammu' is - this one is much rooted and the protagonist never speak of ideology (or) is preachful at any place. The character goes through phases and even blames herself, accepts her husband despite odds and many other hard scenes that are so relatable.

    You really feel pity what will happen to her when she cries after the criminal leaves. That's the impact of this execution.

    The cinematography starts with an unusual dark engagement scene and ends with a brightly lit climax. Bobby Simha's portion really feel good after a long stretch of painful scenes. Do watch!!

    Ammu

    A different movie. All the actors justified their roles and neatly acted. Kudos to the director for bringing such a social movie. The cop acted well. The heroine, Aishwarya Lakshmi, also justified her role. Bobby Simha as we all know, is a good actor, has also acted well. At times, we feel, the film is slow in some parts.

    When she tells her mother Mala Parvathy about the abuse, she tells her to adjust, telling she also faced abuses from her father, which could not be digested. I could not understand the dialogues between her and the beggar. Why that scene is required. Instead, she could have narrated her problems with the lady cop or her other friend. Otherwise, it is a good movie to watch with family. It's an emotional movie.
