    Good moview for school going kids

    This is a good movie, particularly for children who are academically inclined or generally perform well in school. At first, I was a bit skeptical about watching it, but after seeing the film, I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't feel any lag or dull moments throughout the movie. As a parent of a child in the same age group as the characters in the film, I found myself relating to many of the situations and emotions portrayed.

    I would definitely recommend this movie to all parents - it's a great choice for a family outing, and I encourage everyone to take their kids to watch it.

    The screen editing and screenplay are both impressive, and I never once felt that the relatively new faces in the industry did not fit their roles. They performed remarkably well. Aju Varghese and Sreekutty's performances were particularly noteworthy, adding depth and charm to the film. Overall, it's an enjoyable, well-made movie that is both entertaining and relatable for kids and their families.

    Again recommended to watch before getting removed from theatre.

    Lovely film

    The film was well made and a must watch for students and teachers. Mostly importantly, the film carries a very strong message in terms of the change that has to happen in schools, which could bring in equality among students. Aju Varghese, who was always seen in comical roles, played a negative character and was to perfection. This defnitely would be a change of guard for him, in terms of the roles he would get to play in the future.

    All the kids who had acted in the film, were brilliant. Kudos to the director and casting director. Music was lovely and apt to the situations. Do watch the film.

    Everyone who went to school can enjoy it🍿

    A light hearted feel good movie, at a time when serious realistic movies taking the front seat in Malayalam cinema Sthanarthi Sreekkuttan is definitely an interval to take your seat and watch in a relaxed mode!

    The Kids had done an amazing job. The character CP of Aju Varghese was a real fierce one, and Saiju Kurup don't forget make us laugh.

    Watched with my little daughter and she truly enjoyed it! She's asking to watch it once again. I believe anyone who went to school can watch the movie with a smile. The director and team had done a tremendous job. A feel good story, feel good execution.

    An amazing movie

    Every once in a while, a film comes along that completely catches you off guard-not because of a massive marketing campaign or a star-studded cast, but simply because of its sheer quality. This particular movie is a prime example of such a gem. Without relying on big-name actors or an established franchise, it delivers a cinematic experience that rivals, and even surpasses, many of the mainstream blockbusters currently dominating theaters.

    The first thing that strikes you is the cinematography. From the very first frame, it's clear that the filmmakers had a strong visual language in mind. Each shot is beautifully composed, with meticulous attention to lighting, color palettes, and camera movement. The scenes transition seamlessly, creating a rhythm that pulls the viewer deeper into the story without ever feeling disjointed or forced. Whether it's an intimate conversation between two characters or a sweeping landscape shot, the cinematography enhances the emotional tone of the scene and elevates the overall aesthetic of the film. You can tell the director and director of photography worked hand-in-hand to ensure that every visual detail served a purpose.

    But cinematography alone doesn't make a great film-it's the story that truly captures your heart, and this one is nothing short of brilliant. The narrative is thoughtfully crafted, weaving together themes of human resilience, moral complexity, and emotional vulnerability. It avoids cliché plot devices and instead opts for nuanced character development and slow-burning tension that keeps the audience invested throughout. The pacing is just right-not too fast to feel rushed, and not too slow to lose your interest. Each act builds upon the last, guiding the viewer through a journey that is both thought-provoking and emotionally engaging.

    What truly sets this film apart is how it manages to tell such a powerful story with a relatively unknown cast. Often, we associate outstanding performances with well-established actors, but this movie proves that raw talent can shine through regardless of fame. The actors in this film were nothing short of phenomenal. Every role was cast perfectly, and each performer brought a deep sense of authenticity and emotional depth to their characters. Their chemistry felt genuine, their emotions believable, and their presence on screen completely magnetic. It's refreshing to see such compelling acting without the distraction of celebrity personas overshadowing the characters they portray.

    In fact, the lack of big names may have actually worked in the film's favor. Without preconceived expectations, the audience is free to fully immerse themselves in the story and characters, rather than focusing on the reputations or past roles of the cast. This allows the narrative to take center stage, and it's a bold yet effective approach that pays off tremendously.

    Another standout feature is the film's sound design and musical score. Subtle, yet effective, the music enhances the emotional gravity of each scene without overpowering it. Whether it's a haunting melody during a pivotal moment or complete silence used to heighten tension, the sound complements the visuals perfectly. It's clear that every element-from direction to editing-was handled with care and intention.

    In conclusion, this movie is a remarkable achievement in modern filmmaking. It stands as a testament to what can be accomplished with passion, vision, and a dedicated team, even without the backing of big Hollywood names. It serves as a reminder that great storytelling, executed with technical excellence and genuine heart, doesn't need star power to shine. If anything, it proves that the future of cinema lies in the hands of those who dare to take creative risks and stay true to the art. For anyone looking for a fresh, emotionally resonant, and beautifully made film, this is a must-watch.

    A cinematic gem

    *A Wonderful Movie: Sthanarthi Sreekuttan*

    I just watched Sthanarthi Sreekuttan, and it's an amazing film! The director, Vinesh Viswanath, did a fantastic job of bringing the story to life.

    The kid actors in the movie were incredible. They acted so naturally and made the story feel real. The director must have worked really hard to get such great performances from them.

    The movie looks great too. The pictures are clear, the editing is smooth, and the sound is perfect. Editor Kailash S Bhavan has done some mesmerizing work with his edit tools. Its amazing how well the director and his team did with a limited budget.

    In short, Sthanarthi Sreekuttan's film is a masterclass in storytelling, direction, and performances. It's a testament to the power of good storytelling, regardless of budget constraints. If you haven't seen the film yet, do yourself a favor and experience it on the big screen.

    *Recommendation:* A must-watch for everyone!
