35 Chinna Katha Kaadu (Not a small story) is a story of grit, love, belief and above all trusting ones ability.
Saraswati, played brilliantly by Nivetha Thomas, is a home maker who fails high school and is happily married with 2 kids Arun and Varun to Prasad, who works as a bus conductor in the temple town on Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh. Arun always ends up getting zero marks in maths and gets bullied by his teachers and classmates. But it is Saraswati's trust in him that helps him overcome this obstacle and obtain 35 marks to get a pass in exams.
Nivetha Thomas brilliantly plays Saraswati alias Chinnu who is fighting her own demons as she failed high school. She is the ultimate motherly figure who works with the kid to teach him maths. As they say, mother is anyone's first teacher and Nivetha proved she can be.
Vishwadev as a father who cares about his family and is pragmatic brilliantly played the role of Prasad when his situations question his pragmatism.
The kids are convincing with their innocence.
While the movie had technical issues with the choice of sync sound and not so crisp editing, it never fails to draw us in thanks to the brilliantly written drama and characters that resonate with us from the get go.
This movie is award worthy. Don't miss.

When was the last time you saw a film that truly deserved a 5 star rating? Honestly, I can't recall one. "35" is a movie that deserves a special place in cinema history for generations to enjoy.
Overall, "35" feels like a film that embodies the warmth, love, and determination of a mother. It's great to see meaningful films like this making their way into our lives. In a world where many movies are just noise and lack depth, "35" feels like a breath of fresh air. It offers a healing experience that reminds us of the importance of family and love. In a neighborhood filled with distractions, this film is like a blissful sanctuary..
A heartfelt salute to the '35' team for reminding us that motherhood is more than just giving life, it's about sharing love, strength, and the courage to face the world.

The film has a lot going for it from the get go. Casting and acting are mostly spot on. This is a great family movie. Where it really let's down is how the story lacks continuity at points and how it is rather stretched in some areas. The translation also potentially killed part of the story - I watched the tamil version which had lengthy dialogues that were very non-tamil sounding (which is the only giveaway that it's not a tamil movie).
The biggest sell for this movie is how it carries that village like setting all throughout without making it a part of the plot.
Jokes apart, an anurag kashyap style directing would've done some wonders.

Flawless movie.. simply amazing... dialogues, direction, acting, songs... every minute detail was well thought out..
so refreshing to watch... a great relief among all the over-hyped larger than life hero movies that we have now a days..
Every actor gave thier 💯... loved the part when dad tells, entire life to talk with chinnu.. now is his time.. ifykyk... let's encourage questioning, the right way to learn...
BTW please don't compare it to Tare zameen par...... its way different.. broad theme may be same.. but the way story is told is different
We need more such writers and directors and actors inTelugu industry .. story telling is an art and this move exemplifies it.. kudos to entire team.
