An excellent movie, clean comedy. Darsi, vennela kishore, Viva Harsha just killed it. Great dialogues, screenplay and editing.

The very reason movie is so good, is its undoing. Truth be told, people are not interested in message oriented movies. They are not ready to celebrate an honest IAS officer and his odyssey to end corruption in political system, they are happy with cheap jokes, meaningless heroism. Barring a few cinematic liberties and over dramatisation, I liked #Shankar and #ramcharan ‘s movie #gamechanger. I don’t vouch for such unbridled powers for #IAS officers, but they are available to them nevertheless, and can be used for good of the people. This movie is about an honest ias officer who uses his everything for people and governance. I started disliking recent Shankar movies, but I loved this one. At a time #pushpa2 kind of movies are huge box office hits, I am going to spend my money to take my family to a multiplex to educate them a little on civics. The movie revisits lives of TN Seshan, OG Chief Election Officer, and some honest IAS officers, that alone gave me goosebumps. Ramcharan and Surya gave standout performances.

It is a soulless movie. Emotionless movie. Logicless movie. There is no reason why anything happens in the movie. Ramayan is an extraordinary story, adipurush is not even a good parody of it. There is no script, everything happens haphazardly. The director is the most confused man, he hoped anything in the name of Ramayan sells. He wasted 500 crores worth money. I don't blame anyone else or even the childish VFX when the captain of the movie himself is a joke. If you have no better work and wants waste a few hours of life, then go and watch adipurush. Otherwise watch Arun govil's old TV Ramayan.

It's a brilliant movie. Daily we take our spouses for granted, they do us thankless service day in day out. We love them in a self centric way. We think she is a player in our life as if she doesn't have a life of her own. We expect women to compromise whenever something unpleasant happens. We inflict all our personal frustrations on her as if she is our punching bag, and we don't even apologize. Yes, it's patriarchy. This movie won't change anything, but it may make us more thoughtful and empathetic to our spouses. Our patriarchal male chuvanistic instincts won't die overnight, but we may develop some softness towards our better halves. This movie doesn't have unnecessary drama, hyperbole. It simply questions our casual indifference to our wives. Everyman thinks his daughter is a princess, but don't treat another Man's daughter who came as his wife as a princess. Whenever you picked up a fight with your wife, please watch this movie. Please appreciate her even small successes, because we let her do very little outside of our lives.
