Review by ThousandsOfFilms

I saw the movie and thought it an was an excellent film and thoroughly enjoyed it. Keerthy Suresh gives an excellent performance. I went to IMDB and saw that the movie had a very low overall rating. So there's a good chance that the average movie goer will not like the movie - especially if they read the negative reviews. A lot of reviews with the lowest ratings gave no details, but just gave their opinion that it was terrblie. Other low ratingss picked on the details of getting visas and houses. First, this totally misses the point of this or most any movie except for a "slice-of-life" or historical autobiography. In addition, through not fault of those reviewers, while their nitpicking would be accurate for most situations, the story took care of this by making the brother not just a robotics engineer, but one who was thinking originally and on target as he had greatly impressed his professor who passed along that assessment to his contacts in the US. To confirm my knowledge of this special situation, I asked my friend who owns a robotics company and who recruits robotics graduates from all over the world including India and the film's depiction is accurate in this very special and very important niche in the US and he gets full cooperation from the government including Immigration. Of course, such reviewers have no way of knowing this. A similar complaint was that Samyukta's rise to a successful business owner was unrealistically easy. And, again in general, that's true, but the reviewers missed the forest by focusing on one tree and, in addition, this issue was beautifully and insightfully handled by the story. Possibly, the best way to tell if you will or will not like this film is to read the review entitled "13 most interesting dialogues" (Rating the movie as a 6). If those dialogues resonate with you, then give the movie a try, if not, then skip it.
