Sindhu Sivakami

Its an Okay-ish movie. The story is very loosely written. Dev Mohan does a great job as Sufi, and Aditi Rao Hydari is also good as Sujata. Promoting a film in the name of Jayasurya, literally having his face over all posters and not writing an evolved character is injustice to the audience. Had a lot of expectations from the film. Has good visuals and musicl, but is really lacking in the story. I didn't really understand the point of the film by the end of it. The last 15-20 minutes was just a stretch. I also thought Sufis were like priests and they had to practice abstinence, etc. I don't know how they showed a person wanting to be a Sufi or is a Sufi to fall in love with a girl, without the inner torment or conflict. This could simply be an assumption, as I am not aware. The music is good. But the writing could have been focused and crisp.

Labour of Love is a nice film, has a good theme and is extremely realistic. Loved the little details in the film, such as the fan speed nob. She likes it at full speed and he likes it slower. The evaporation of water in the kadhai! Rinsing all the utensils before putting it to wash in the sink. And many more such intricacies. Apart from the details, the way they complimented each other with the division of household work. It was really endearing to watch. And ultimately in the end, is exactly where the film starts from. It was a really nice film, without dialogues, showing how actions spoke of their love for each other instead of just words. And also how every action showed love even when they were apart. When she washes all the clothes, and he dries them. Or how he got all the groceries and she cooked. Very complimentary to each other. Just a major major major off putting point was how slow some shots were. Extremely slow. One requires too much patience to watch it.

A nuanced entertainer film! What hooked me on to the film from the very first second was the "Thanks" credit that was so long and so detailed. Seemed like every person who may have provided even the slightest help, was mentioned. After which, every other person involved in making this film, including the drivers, make up artists, etc, who are usually credited for in the end, were given due credit in the start of the film itself. The crew was given their due importance over the actors. And that itself spoke for the film. Now, coming to the film. A great story. The characters were very realistic. The household scenarios and community living was captured to the T. There was never an overdo of anything in the film. Surely, the initial contact and continued connection between the characters of Anna Ben and Roshan Matthew was a stretch. But given it is a film, a little cinematic liberty is okay. The realistic characters, and the story it ultimate tells you, without directly pointing at it makes the film extremely nuanced. It is very cleverly written. The film is great in itself, but it is at that last moment you understand the layers of the film. Shreenath Bhasi does a fantastic job as Roy. Anna Ben is equally good as Jessy. Roshan Matthew makes a very believable Vishnu, making you root for him till the very end. All other characters, and every minute detail of the film adds to the depth of the story. Loved this film! Have already watched this 5 times, and yet not been bored. This short, sweet and unexpected "not-a-romcom" film would be good watch any day!

A very bad film. Shows extremely toxic and baseless relationships. The conclusions that the main characters draws from random stories is very vague. Please dont waste your time trying to watch it on Netflix either. Watched the entire thing and couldn't make sense of even a single minute in the entire film. Vijay Devarakonda should really stop acting in such derogatory films showing toxic masculinity.

Excellent film. MUST WATCH. And a total Paisa Vasool. I went to watch the film for Dulquer Salman but Desingh Periyasamy stole the show, the writer and director of the film. He's made a one of a kind film, that keeps you on the edge of your seats with it's story while at the same time leaves you in splits with it's dialogues. It's not the usual Hero Heroine film. Dulquer Salman and Ritu Verma are not given more screen time and importance than Rakshan and Niranjani Ahathian. It's a story about four people and all four of them have an important role to play. There is no special importance given to two people, and that is one of the reasons why this is a one of a kind film. Gautham Vasudev Menon steals the show in the climax ! The Story is truly the King here. Despite starting off on a very very very cringey and cliche note, with an orphaned, sincere and morally right heroine, it all ties up together in the end and you truly know, that this isn't a story of a quintessential orphan girl who transforms the boy with her values and discipline. The film is everything but this. And please note.. This ISN'T a romcom ! Highly recommended !!
