Poovaiyar, Kailash Heet, Praniti Praveen, and Vedanth Vasanth in Shot Boot Three (2023)

User reviews

Shot Boot Three

23 reviews
4/10

People below 14yrs may enjoy this movie - this is not for the 14+

Don't fall for the reviews giving 10/10 for this movie.

The music, acting, story, and screenplay are merely average, better suited for kids. It falls short in addressing crucial topics like child abuse, animal abuse, and details on diverse breeds, both native to India and imported. The film misses a valuable chance to promote awareness about animal care.

Moreover, it's misleading, depicting kids wandering alone without adult supervision, engaging in heroic acts. Let's be responsible consumers and encourage films that contribute positively to our understanding. Share your thoughts and choices wisely for a more informed cinematic experience.

Shot Boot Three - An Awesome Theme

Got to watch the Movie 'Shot Boot three' today. A movie for pet lovers and the kids who yearn to own a pet, is going to hit the Box Office on 6th Oct'23!! Movie is breezy and based on emotions truly heart-touching. As a family, we can easily connect with the movie.

Awesome Screenplay and Direction Arun. Way To Go. As on date it's very hard to see a movie with Family and kids and most of the movies are tagged to violence and has to be viewed with parental guidance without any social message. SBT comes with a great Flavour of Pet adoption , to be friendly with pet, Parental involvement , Friendship etc. Which are the need of the hour for Kids as well parents.

Please watch it in Theaters with your kids and for sure 100% feel good movie. Love Max to the core..

Pure family entertainer with a good cause

This is a truly uncommon film that you can watch alongside your children without needing to skip or fast forward any parts. My affection for dogs grew after viewing it. It evoked memories of my school days and serves as a valuable reminder for parents to recognise their child's unique talents and support them in achieving success beyond just academics. The heartwarming nature of the film and its message about nurturing individual talents and passions left a lasting impression on me, making it a must-watch for families seeking both entertainment and meaningful life lessons. Great work and international quality. Thanks for showing both sides of Chennai.

A Holiday family movie

A family movie should leave happy memories, a smile on your face when the movie is over. Shot boot three does it - a breadth of fresh air amidst the trend of slasher movies families are subjected to watch in the name of pop culture.

The movie revolves around the lives of three kids live in the metro city luxury apartment life and one fix-it-all poor kid. One kid longs for a dog, gets a Golden retriever, all kids enjoy his companionship, dog goes missing and the kids go on a day of adventure finding the dog with happy ending.

All the Kids acted suitably with no over smart dialogues usually given to child artists. The kid acted as poor kid Ramana did his part well with comfortable body language. All senior actors did their supporting roles justifying their characters. Strict mom Sneha, loving dad Venkat prabhu, Yogi babu are all did their part good enough to not take the attention away from main characters.

Rajesh vaidhya's music is apt and suitable. The song Paal mazhai by Sid Sriram and pleasant visuals will stay with you well after the movie.

A family entertainment with nuggets of teachings. Catch it in Theater or OTT to watch with whole family.

Excellent movie that handles human and animal emotions beautifully

Amidst all violent movies that occupies the screen spaces in recent times, here comes a gem that provides a great relief from the routine stuff. It's a well packaged content with emotions touching our hearts. Arun has done a commendable job, with all the other departments chipping in with their great support. The camera work is superb. Rajesh Vaidhya has done a great job and two songs (Gang song and Paal Mazhaiyin) stay in the minds.

It is a feel good movie that underlines the importance of pet care and adoption. Movies like this must be encouraged so that more creators come forward and make gems like these. Please dont miss this masterpiece.

A relevant movie that all professionals can relate to

As professionals (whether running a business, being a doctor, IT engineer, etc.) all of us get busy. This movie does not "preach". It just states it like it is. A series of events unfold that are relatable and believable. All the characters are genuine. Many movies these days have violence, gore and skin - as if these are the ingredients needed to attract audiences. Shot Boot Three shows that a feel good story can be gripping and appealing. The music by Rajhesh Vaidya and the voice of Sid Sriram add to the appeal of this movie. Of course, if you are a dog lover this movie is for you. The dog's performance in this movie deserves special mention.

Pleasant Movie

A wonderful watch for kids and adults alike! The portrayal of ordinary happenings in a much relatable way is the highlight of the film. We don't see many child-friendly movies off late. But this movie has certainly ticked all the boxes with regards to having a theme suitable for all ages.

Rajesh Vaidhya's music compliments throughout the film beautifully and not taking over the screen. The artists have performed naturally in front of the camera, which is another big plus! The film has all the elements that a novice watcher would expect- humor, friendship, failure etc.

The movie is full of positives and it gives us a 'good vibes' experience of watching a movie! As high-budget, high-octane star studded films hog the limelight, Shot Boot three has proved that films having none of those can still be as good!

W must see movie for kids, parents and petlovers

Spread Love!

The slogan for the endearing and poignant movie!

The movie started off with a child of busy parents working in IT industry. He finally got a dog for his birthday from his friends. One day the dog left their gated community and didn't know his way back home. The children go on an adventure in search of the dog. During the intermission, many children were weeping, as Max, an adorable Golden retriever belonging to one of the 4 children in the movie went missing. Couple of the children came up to me and asked, "aunty, Max sethu poidumaa? Bayamaa irukku" (aunty, will Max die? We are scared). I said to the children, " director uncle would not want children to go home crying. So, Max won't die". Once the movie was over the kids were excitedly talking about how Max was saved. I even got hugs from kids! Such was the love and impact the movie had on them.

These days kids, especially those in India, are forced to watch adults movie in the name of family time; then, parents and society wonder why voilence is on the rise amongst children. All of us, parents, grand parents, citizens have to take full responsibilities for exposing the younger generations to such movies, and games.

During pandemic the director came up with the idea of making a movie for children, by casting children, (Thank God, they act their age, without mature dialogues) and of course, a beautiful Labrador called Max who was sheer love on screen. The director Arun Vaidyanathan, has strewn many social messages all through the movie, without being preachy.

Cinematography by Sudarshan is excellent and very pleasing to the eyes. Music by the Veena Maestro Rajhesh Vaidya was outstanding! There are no jarring background scores and the montage songs by Sid Sriram and Rajhesh Vaidya are very soothing to the ears; the song by Sid Sriram has gained popularity as pet lovers anthem.

Many scenes are predictable and but, hey, why not? Movie has been advertised as a full fledged comedy, feel good entertainer for the children, parents and petlovers alike!

Go with your family and watch a lighthearted movie that's surely make you say - AWW!

Parents, be very happy to see your kids sport huge smiles! Pet lovers, Max will steal your heart. This movie spreads sheer LOVE!

My best wishes to team SBT for a huge success! Go on! Win hearts!

Brings out the child in you💕

A Feel good movie that brings back the child in each one of us. Much needed for today's world which is dominated by artificial intelligence and , video games .A simple story brimming with kindness to animals and bonding with friends is a welcome change .Loved the subtle humour laced with a message throughout. Lyrics for the song " pal mazhaiyin thooralil vaal mulaitha vaanavil" is lovely.

Wondering if this is the first time someone made a song for pets! Acting by the kids especially Poovaiyar deserves a special mention

Loved watching with friends and it was a fun experience. Definitely worth the time💕

A family movie in tamil finally... Enjoy with your children.

Tamil fans have been waiting with anticipation, for a real entertainer film that goes with family values, story and has no double meaning.

I was wondering if the Tamil fans might bug on to Mallu movies permanently because, every Tamil film portrays the hero worship, narcotics, blood sheds, gravity defying stunts, no story etc....

Here's the picture you've been waiting for.

Shot Boot Three.

Definitely a must watch movie with kids.

My humble thanks to Arun Vaidyanathan for his professional work beyond business.

I am not going to tell the story of the film. Four boys (including the super singer Guppies), Sivangi, Venkat Prabhu, Sneka, Arun Vaidyanathan, Dina, Kadhal Sugumar, Vaitapuri, Delhi Ganesh and a four-legged friend named Max who steal your hearts together!

The story, screenplay, cinematography, BGM all glitter in S. B. T.

Now streaming on Amazon Prime!

The satisfaction of watching a good Tamil film after a long time is mind-blowing!

Timmy!

beautiful!

Beautiful😃 Shot Boot Three was a beautiful and clean watch. We enjoyed every bit of it.

The story was relatable as it carried crucial messages for our generation

DELICIOUS

-It was clear throughout the screenplay that Arun Vaidyanathan wanted to emphasize the need for love in our fast-paced society.

Love for one another, love for the blind, love for the poor, and of course, love for animals.

-Poovaiyar takes home the award for best performance. He is sooo cute and excelled in his street-wise role!

-Shot Boot Three sustained a childlike atmosphere with entertaining animation, funky score, and simple/clean dialogues

-The yellow color in the lighting, outfits, and dog's fur accentuated the optimism, energy, happiness, and friendship symbolism.

It was quite meaningful to see the solidarity between the friends

-Nice work on the storytelling and direction. Every scene made sense and we were gradually taken from point A to point B.

Being separately introduced to Pallavi, Ballu, and Kailash in the beginning gently invited us into their world so we could understand them.

BLAND

-It was obvious that Shot Boot Three was the main actors' debut. Praniti, Vedanth, and Kailash weren't totally relaxed in front of the camera. We could tell that they were thinking about their next moves/lines. But we give them A for effort!

Sweet story, entertaining and well produced. Perfect for dog lovers.

What a sweet story! An entertaining and well-produced film, Shot Boot Three is perfect for dog lovers and fans of realistic fiction. With crisp cinematography and chuckle-inducing dialogues, kids will love this film.

Kailash gets a pet dog named Max for his birthday with the help of his friends Pallavi and Ballu and some good old fashioned pleading with his parents. When Max goes missing, Kailash and his friends embark on an entertaining journey to find him.

Shot Boot Three has a heartwarming story that, while not anything pathbreaking, will enthrall young viewers. The film engages you from the get-go with a relatable struggle: Kailash wants a dog but his mother puts her foot down. And from the initial moments onwards, you're invested in Kailash's life and his journey. For those who love films with some drama and scheming, the second half of the film delights. The camera work is wonderfully crisp and effective in the film. There are no shots that feel out of place, and the mix of close-ups, medium shots, and even some interesting low-angle shots are sure to impress. The camerawork is certainly suitable for exhibition. Filmed in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu fits the story well; every scene is believable. The background music perfectly fits the film. At some point, a traditional sitar is used for background music, and in other places standard film SFX and background music are used. There are some visual effects around Ballu's head at times - for example, superheroes fighting - to show his imaginative nature. Max the dog is also the product of some pretty great visual effects. Everything in the film is effective and believable... except, perhaps that we don't hear Max bark for quite a while. Heet Bokadia plays Kailash, the protagonist. I might be a bit biased since he looks immensely similar to my cousin, but he is one of my favorite characters. He pours himself into the character and you're on Kailash's side for the entire film, feeling like you're finding Max along with him. Vedanth plays Balvindar "Ballu" Singh; many Indian films overdo the trope of using Sikhs as comic relief. In this case, Ballu contributes meaningfully to the film -- a smart decision by director and co-writer Arun Vaidyanathan. Pranithi Praveen as Pallavi is the perfect balance to Heet and Vedanth's characters: the pragmatic young lady. The casting is certainly one of the strong points of the film. The direction by Arun Vaidyanathan and the writing by Anand Raghav and Arun Vaidyanathan propel Shot Boot Three to new heights. Vaidyanathan also produced the film. The mirthful dialogues and purposeful feeling of every scene makes this a special watch.

I love the duo of Kailash and his father. Kailash's heartfelt performance, especially in the initial and final moments of the film when he gets Max and when he is finally close to finding him. Both scenes are wonderful. Perhaps the best-written of all the characters, Kailash is a show-stealer. His father Swaminathan is the dream parent, always supportive, sometimes overindulgent, but never unfair. Together, they light up the screen for the first forty minutes.

The film's message is that friends will always be there for you, especially when things you value are at stake.

I give Shot Boot Three 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 18, plus adults. By Eshaan M., KIDS FIRST!

Brilliant and must watch for kids

A very refreshing and heart warming take on compassion and love for the voiceless. Equally brilliant is the music score which adds to the overall experience. The BGM is really awesome. A must watch for all kids and parents. Wish more movies are made like this and more directors use Mr Rajesh for scoring music. Kudos to the director for taking up such a bold and honest topic. Everyone in the cast have done their role to the 'T'. A must watch movie in the theatres for the entire family. An out and out family feel good movie. A thumbs up the the hero of the movie Max. There are some upcoming young stars already in this movie.

A "Pawsome" Experience

Excellent team, realistic plot and dedicated artists always give you the best outcome. "Shot Boot Three" is one such movie which gives you the best experience to watch a clean movie. With maximum violence and sleaze dominating the film industry, this movie comes as a breathe of fresh air. Tha cast, crew and Max (the dog) give you the entertainment people rightly deserve now.

The movie revolves around four children, a dog and some adults. A dog is being gifted by his friends to a lonely kid whose parents are always busy. The bond between the kids and the dog forms the crux of the movie. The movie doesn't preach anything but subtly conveys emotions and a strong message called "Spread love".
