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.

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!!

I have seen many domestic violence - divorce cases. This movie perfectly depicts the thought process of a woman stuck in the quagmire of a troubled marriage. And also of a man who is clouded by male chauvinism. Both the lead Actors delivered terrific performance. Script is written with good amount of research and so are the lyrics. This movie is lot lot better than (the Agenda movie - written carefully to undermine Hindu culture) " The Great Indian kitchen ". Although it could have been better but , I am giving 10 stars. Keep in mind this movie is from a debutant director. Expecting more from him.
As many of the negative reviews above, this is not a movie to get entertained to feel bored. This is just a showcase of a kind of abuse and this is a movie not documentary to show different kind of abuses in 2 hours time. Coming to story, this showcases the thoughts transition from phase to phase for a women and a husband who thinks that it's okay to abuse cause he got to deal with his vocational pressure on daily basis and still loves his wife. Is he a bad police? No. Even a good and respected person at work can be a very bad family man. If you look into the characters deeply then you will enjoy the film thoroughly. Characters are well written, story line is well thought and executed inspite of minor offshoots here and there for entertainment. Introspection is very important after watching this film. "What we do is not we think we are doing". That slap and sorry is a excellent scene straight out of real life modern day scenarios. Bus stop scene transition was fabulous. A movie for newly weds and abusive partners, which of coarse they do because they love you sooo much, like Ravi.
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.
