Sir Movie Review

Director Bose Venkat’s first film Kanni Maadam was a well made movie about a boy from a higher caste falling in love with a girl from a lower one. In his second feature film Sir, the director chooses to talk about the importance of education and how it is affected by different groups who have ideas to bring it down.

The film talks about a family who have been in the teaching profession, generation after generation, and how they struggle to continue despite a problem that lingers in their history. Vemal is introduced as a teacher who is not entirely knee deep into seriousness, and the first half of the film has fun and serious elements balanced. In the second half, the film moves into a more focused zone, as it tries to bring about the reasons why the family find it hard to keep the school going, and people with vested interests who try to bring things down.

The film is a decent watch as it tries to catapult all the events that take place in the process, while also driving home an important message to the society about how education is for one and all, and there is no bar as how one should get his right to it.

Vemal has done a fair job in the film, while the rest of the cast are functional. It is only Saravanan who stands out from the supporting cast, as he brings a good performance.

The film’s big highlight are the songs are the BGM by composer Siddhu Kumar, with two songs Panangarukka and Poovasanai turning out to be superb.

On the whole, Sir is a fine watch for those who like serious dramas that talk about societal topics.

Verdict: A well-intended film talking about the importance of education.
