Sembi Review: రివ్యూ: సెంబి
Sembi Review: కోవై సరళ కీలక పాత్రలో నటించిన ‘సెంబి’ ఎలా ఉందంటే?
Sembi Review; చిత్రం: సెంబి; నటీనటులు: కోవై సరళ, అశ్విన్ కుమార్, తంబి రామయ్య, నంజలి సంపత్, పాలా కరుపయ్య తదితరులు; సంగీతం: నివాస్ కె.ప్రసన్న; సినిమాటోగ్రఫీ: ఎం.జీవాన్; ఎడిటింగ్: భువన్; నిర్మాత: ఆర్.రవీంద్రన్, అజ్మల్ఖాన్, రేయా; రచన, దర్శకత్వం: ప్రభు సాల్మన్; స్ట్రీమింగ్ వేదిక: డిస్నీ+హాట్స్టార్
ఇతర భాషల్లో విజయవంతమైన చిత్రాలను ఓటీటీ వేదికలు పలు భాషల్లో డబ్ చేసి, ప్రేక్షకుల ముందుకు తీసుకొస్తున్న సంగతి తెలిసిందే. అలా ఇటీవల ఓటీటీలో వచ్చిన తమిళ చిత్రమే ‘సెంబి’. హాస్యనటిగా తెలుగు ప్రేక్షకులకు సుపరిచితురాలైన కోవై సరళ కీలక పాత్రలో నటించిన ఈ చిత్రం ఎలా ఉంది? ‘సెంబి’ కథేంటి? (Sembi Review) ప్రభు సాల్మన్ ఎలా తెరకెక్కించారు.
కథేంటంటే: వీరతల్లి (కోవై సరళ) వృద్ధురాలు. కుమార్తె, అల్లుడు అగ్నిప్రమాదంలో చనిపోతే, మనవరాలు సెంబి బాగోగులు చూసుకుంటూ ఉంటుంది. అడవిలో ఉండే తేనేను సేకరించి అమ్మడం ద్వారా కుటుంబాన్ని పోషిస్తుంటుంది. చదువుకుని ఎప్పటికైనా డాక్టర్ కావాలన్నది సెంబి ఆశ. ఒకరోజు అడవిలో తేనెను సేకరించి, దుకాణంలో ఇచ్చి రమ్మని మనవరాలికి చెబుతుంది. అమ్మమ్మ ఇచ్చిన తేనెను తీసుకుని వెళ్తుండగా, ముగ్గురు యువకులు సెంబిపై సామూహిక అత్యాచారానికి పాల్పడతారు. ఆ ముగ్గురు యువకుల్లో ఒకడు రాష్ట్ర ప్రతిపక్ష నాయకుడి కుమారుడు కావడంతో పోలీసులు కేసును తప్పుదారి పట్టిస్తారు. కేసు దర్యాప్తు చేస్తున్న పోలీస్ అధికారి వీరమ్మ, సెంబిలను హత మార్చడానికి ప్రయత్నిస్తే ఎలా తప్పించుకున్నారు? తన మనవరాలికి న్యాయం జరగడం కోసం వీరమ్మ ఏం చేసింది? (Sembi Review) ఈ క్రమంలో కొందరు వ్యక్తులు ఆమెకు ఎలా సాయపడ్డారు? చివరకు నిందితులకు శిక్ష పడిందా? అన్నది తెలియాలంటే సినిమా చూడాల్సిందే!
ఎలా ఉందంటే: లైంగిక వేధింపులు, అత్యాచారం ఇతివృత్తంతో ఇప్పటికే అనేక చిత్రాలు వెండితెరను పలకరించాయి. వాటితో పోలిస్తే కాస్త భిన్నమైన చిత్రమిది. తన మనవరాలికి జరిగిన అన్యాయంపై ఓ వృద్ధురాలు చేసే పోరాటాన్ని ఉత్కంఠగా, భావోద్వేగభరితంగా తెరకెక్కించడంలో దర్శకుడు ప్రభుసాల్మన్ విజయం సాధించారు. వీరతల్లి, సెంబీ పాత్రల పరిచయంతో కథను మొదలు పెట్టిన దర్శకుడు నేరుగా అసలు పాయింట్కు వచ్చేశాడు. అడవిలో సెంబిపై ముగ్గురు యువకులు అత్యాచారానికి పాల్పడటం, ఆ చిన్నారికి జరిగిన అన్యాయాన్ని ఎవరికీ చెప్పుకోలేక ఆస్పత్రిలో వీరతల్లి పడే మనోవేదన సినిమా చూస్తున్న ప్రేక్షకుడిని కంటపడి పెట్టిస్తుంది. కేసును తప్పుదోవ పట్టించిన పోలీసు అధికారిపై వీరతల్లి దాడి చేయడంతో కథ కీలక మలుపు తీసుకుంటుంది. (Sembi Review) అత్యాచార ఘటనను వదిలేసి వీరతల్లి, ఆమె మనవరాలిని పట్టుకునేందుకు పోలీసులు ప్రయత్నించడంతో వారి నుంచి ఎలా తప్పించుకుంటుందా? అన్న ఉత్కంఠ సినిమా చూస్తున్న ప్రేక్షకుడికి కలుగుతుంది.
ఇక్కడి నుంచే కథ మొత్తం బస్సులోనే సాగుతుంది. ఆయా సన్నివేశాలను చాలా ఆసక్తికరంగా తీర్చిదిద్దాడు దర్శకుడు. అత్యాచార ఘటనపై బస్సులో ఉన్న ప్రయాణికులు స్పందించే తీరుతో నేటి లోకం పోకడను ఎత్తి చూపాడు దర్శకుడు. అసలు వదంతులు ఎలా వ్యాప్తిస్తాయి? వాటిని ఎలా ప్రచారం చేస్తారు? వాటికి అదనపు వివరణలు తోడై అసలు విషయం ఎలా పక్కదారి పడుతుంది? తదితర విషయాలను ఉదాహరణలతో చెప్పిన తీరు బాగుంది. పోలీసులు, అత్యాచార నిందితులు పంపే రౌడీల నుంచి వీరతల్లి, సెంబీలను బస్సులోని వారు ఎలా కాపాడారన్న సన్నివేశాలు ఉత్కంఠగా సాగుతాయి. (Sembi Review) అలాగే, సెంబిపై అత్యాచారం జరగిందడానికి ఉన్న ఆధారాలను సేకరించే తీరూ మెప్పిస్తుంది. ‘మనిషికి మరో మనిషే సాయం చేస్తాడు’ అన్న సందేశాన్ని దర్శకుడు ఇచ్చాడు. పతాక సన్నివేశాలు అలరిస్తాయి. ఓటీటీలో ఏదైనా ఆసక్తికర సినిమా చూడాలంటే, ‘సెంబి’ ఫస్ట్ ఛాయిస్గా పెట్టుకోవచ్చు.
ఎవరెలా చేశారంటే: హాస్యనటిగా, క్యారెక్టర్ ఆర్టిస్ట్గా తెలుగు ప్రేక్షకులకు కోవై సరళ సుపరిచితురాలు. గతంలో ఆమె నటించిన అనేక చిత్రాల్లో తనదైన నటన, డైలాగ్ డెలివరీతో నవ్వులు పంచారు. కానీ, తొలిసారి ‘సెంబీ’లో తన నటనతో ప్రేక్షకుడితో కంటతడి పెట్టించారు. వృద్ధురాలు వీరతల్లి పాత్రలో ఇప్పటివరకూ చూడని కోవై సరళను చూస్తారు. మనవరాలికి జరిగిన అన్యాయం తెలిసి, ఆమె పడే మనోవేదన సన్నివేశంలో కోవై నటన కట్టిపడేస్తుంది. ఇప్పటివరకూ ఆమె నటించిన చిత్రాలన్నీ ఒకెత్తయితే, వీరతల్లిగా ఆమె నటన టాప్ ఆఫ్ ది టాప్. సెంబి పాత్రలో నటించిన చిన్నారి కూడా చాలా బాగా నటించింది. లాయర్గా నటించిన అశ్విన్ కుమార్, బస్సు ఓనర్గా తంబి రామయ్యల నటన అలరిస్తుంది. ఎం.జీవన్ సినిమాటోగ్రఫీ బాగుంది. కొడైకెనాల్, ఊటీ అందాలను చక్కగా చూపించారు. ద్వితీయార్ధం మొత్తం బస్సులోనే సాగుతుంది.(Sembi Review) ఆయా సన్నివేశాలను తీర్చిదిద్దిన విధానం బాగుంది. భువన్ ఎడిటింగ్ ఓకే. అక్కడక్కడా సన్నివేశాలకు కత్తెర వేయవచ్చు. నివాస్ కె.ప్రసన్న నేపథ్య సంగీతం బాగుంది. పాటలన్నీ కథాగమనంలో వచ్చి వెళ్లిపోతాయి. నిర్మాణ విలువలు బాగున్నాయి.
ప్రభుసాల్మన్ రాసుకున్న కథ, తెరకెక్కించిన విధానం చాలా బాగుంది. బాలికలపై జరిగే అత్యాచార ఘటన, పోక్సో చట్టంపై అవగాహన కల్పించిన తీరును మెచ్చుకోవచ్చు. (Sembi Review) నేటి రాజకీయ పరిస్థితులను కూడా సెటైరికల్గా ప్రశ్నించాడు. ఓ రాజకీయ నాయకుడు తనకు ఓటు వేస్తే సెంబిని డాక్టర్ను చేస్తానని వీరతల్లికి చెబుతాడు. అప్పుడు సెంబి ‘అమ్మమ్మ నువ్వు ఆ మావయ్యకే ఓటు వెయ్’ అని చెబితే, ‘నేను ఎవరికి ఓటు వేసినా నువ్వు డాక్టర్ కాలేవు. బాగా చదువుకుంటేనే అవుతావు. వాళ్లు అలాగే చెబుతారు’ అంటూ నేటి రాజకీయ నాయకుల హామీలపై చదువురాని గిరిజన వృద్ధురాలికి ఎలాంటి అవగాహన ఉందో చక్కగా చూపించారు.
బలాలు: + కోవై సరళ నటన; + దర్శకత్వం; + ద్వితీయార్ధం
బలహీనతలు: - పాటలు; - అక్కడక్కడా కాస్త సాగదీతగా అనిపించే సన్నివేశాలు
చివరిగా: ‘సెంబి’.. మీరెప్పుడూ చూడని కోవై సరళను చూస్తారు! (Sembi Review)

'Sembi' Movie Review: Inested performances save this tried and tested story
Prabu Solomon is a filmmaker who has a solid signature for himself, and by now, we all know the list of things to expect in his films. His latest, Sembi, features scenic hilltop locations, a duo on the run from the police, a bus full of people with contrasting lives and the most constant one on the list: Thambi Ramaiah. Probably, composer D Imman is the only Prabu Solomon regular who misses the bus. Sticking to such constants in every project is a two-way sword, they either work out big or end up being torpid rehashes.
Well, the result of Sembi is a mix of both. Kovai Sarala’s Veerayi is a relentless giver who has dedicated her life to her granddaughter Sembi (a brilliant Nila), a gold-hearted 10-yearold. More or less, they carry the souls of Suruli and Mynaa, the lead characters of Prabu’s breakout film Mynaa. Of course, the relationship angles are completely different here, but it is hard to not notice the similarities.
However, we keep rooting for the protagonists in Sembi as their nobility never falters even in the face of crushing cruelties. On the flip side, we begin to lose interest whenever the film takes the tone of a talk show. I understand that the director aims to present the corrupt and herd mentality of society, which projects the victims as the perpetrators.
This is brought out through the conversations that happen on the bus that Veerayi boards. But it all gets a bit too redundant soon. Considering Prabu Solomon is mounting the film as an entertainer, these conversations only come as roadblocks. For instance, there is a shocking mention of a rape survivor’s grave injuries and her inability to give birth.
Before we can digest the heaviness of this scene, we have Thambi Ramaiah ‘comically’ kicking the groin of a person, pledging to ruin his fertility. Placing these two scenes in the same film, especially in quick succession, is in bad taste and it waters down the very mes sage di rector professes. Amidst this tonal confusion, the film does manage to talk about the POCSO act.
Sembi might probably be the nth film to feature a rape survivor as one of its protagonists this year, but it stands out by focussing enough on the laws and the system. Nila, who plays the titular role, delivers a stunning performance. She sells both innocence and pain brilliantly and I am sure she will be bagging tons of awards for her debut. Kovai Sarala leaves no stones unturned for her first fullfledged serious role.
The sequence where she breaks down in the hospital out of helplessness reminds us of the powerhouse of a performer she is. I also liked Ashwin Kumar’s portrayal of the nameless saviour, and the inherent charm he adds to the role. Nivas Prasanna fills in the shoes of Prabu’s regular composer Imman and he delivers a remarkable background score that almost compensates for the forgettable songs.
Though I found certain re-recording portions to be extremely over the top and suggestive, Nivas manages to elevate the crucial emotional scenes. A major portion of Sembi happens inside a bus named Anbu (Love) and after a particular point, the bus takes a detour and roams around directionlessly. The film, which professes love, also falls into the same trap and loses our attention. How I wish films that are filled with noble intentions had unwavering focus.
Director: Prabu Solomon Cast: Kovai Sarala, Nila, Ashwin Kumar, Thambi Ramaiah Rating: 2.5/5

Sembi Tamil Movie
Eager to understand what could be going through director Prabhu Solomon's head when he sits down to write a script. Does he always start with the phrase "Atop the hill...." or
"As the clouds pave way for the golden sun rays to pierce through...."? Prabhu Solomon's scripts are majorly terrain-driven and have been invariably set amidst tall cliffs and thick forests, with the main characters embarking on adventurous journeys.
I am sure the hills have so much to narrate. Not a lifetime is enough to understand the people living on the hills, their lives, and their aspirations. Portraying raw emotions on screen and building strong supporting characters around it has been the director's forte. In the recently released 'Sembi' too he has done that.
Veerathai (Kovai Sarala), is an old woman who lives with her granddaughter atop a hill near Kodaikanal. While Sembi is out to sell honey, she becomes a victim of gang rape. The police and the administration turn a blind eye to the incident. They try to cover the incident from snow bowling into a catastrophe. Was Senbi served justice?
As mentioned before, this milieu is the director's home territory. Hills and the haunted hues are alien for an average moviegoer. The cast is another critical aspect that has been addressed well. To see 'Kovai' Sarala portray such a pivotal role that is way different from her on-screen persona to date is commendable. The body language, expression, and emotions that she brings out are outstanding.
Aswin Kumar who was in the news for all the wrong reasons has got a great role to reverse his misfortune. He has risen to the occasion and delivered it handsomely without overdoing things. Thambi Ramaiah, though had a limited presence, has utilized it well. The little girl as 'Sembi' was a great selection. Her emotions and the way she brought the same on-screen begs for laurels!
Overall, the underlying emotion has been well herded by the narrative with the music and background score of Nivas Prasanna and Jeevan's cinematography! The first half connected so well with the audience that we expected a solid second half to seal things off. I was a little disappointed with the way things went by in the second half. Liberties were readily availed to make Sembi escape from the Police.
Also, the crowd cheering for Sembi and the rapid social media multiplier effect, and the resolution of the case by the hacker network were something that the director could have taken time to write about or could have ignored. The bus, the journey, the dynamics between each traveler, and the ultimate accident remind me of Prabhu Solomon's Mynaa'.
This movie had great potential to become a blockbuster. However, the director's over cautiousness on certain commercial aspects does not augur well with the movie. It passes muster and can be classified as a watchable drama!

SEMBI MOVIE REVIEW CLICK TO RATE THE MOVIE
Sembi is an emotional survival drama written and directed by Prabu Solomon, and produced by Ravindran, Ajmal Khan and Reyaa under the banner Trident Arts. The film has Kovai Sarala, Ashwin Kumar Lakshmikanth, Thambi Ramaiah, Nanjil Sampath, Pala Karuppiah, and others as its star cast, including a 10-year-old girl playing the titular character. The music is composed by Nivas K Prasanna and the cinematography is by Jeevan.
Sembi is a 10-year-old girl, whose world revolves around her grandmother Veerayi (played by Kovai Sarala), and vice versa. Veerayi teaches her how to extract honey from a honeycomb without disturbing the bees, and asks Sembi to sell the honey in the marketplace. Within a few minutes, she gets molested by 3 people, and the rest of the film is a fight for justice for Sembi and Veerayi.
Although the film starts on a middling note, with characters being painted black and white, what the climax hints at - answers a lot of questions. The entire second half is filled with sequences where Veerayi and her granddaughter face one obstacle after another. And they escape from each one of them quite easily. There are plenty of cinematic liberties taken, but the film seems to be self-aware of this.
This also turns out to be the film's biggest drawback. In case the audience doesn't understand what the climax is, then Sembi could very well end up as a disappointing watch. The film has a biblical theme throughout and it is reflected even in Nivas K Prasanna's soul-stirring music. Initially, the music is loud and on the face but as the film progresses it blends in beautifully with the narrative.
The pillar of the film is Kovai Sarala who not only impresses in the emotional scenes but also the action sequences. She gets a meaty, 'Agent Tina' like sequence in the first half, and she gobbles it up to showcase what an extraordinary performer she is. She is supported well by the 10-year-old girl, and Ashwin Kumar comes up with a mature and restrained performance.
The screenplay could have been better in the second half as all the plot points get resolved without much tension in quick succession. The editing by Buvan is fantastic, and you don't realize the passing of time. His cuts make the film more engaging than it should have been, and are aided superbly by cinematographer Jeevan's frames. Barring the CGI work, the film is technically solid.
Overall, there are plenty of downfalls in Sembi, but the film has a heart that is as tender as that of the 10-year-old girl. The story has a natural innocence, and that drives the film forward. It has a positive message that instills hope and will work with family audiences too. Can definitely be watched and Sembi won't disappoint you.

Sembi Movie Review: Invested performances save this tried and tested story
Rating: ( 2.5 / 5).
Prabu Solomon is a filmmaker who has a solid signature for himself, and by now, we all know the list of things to expect in his films. His latest, Sembi, features scenic hilltop locations, a duo on the run from the police, a bus full of people with contrasting lives and the most constant one on the list: Thambi Ramaiah. Probably, composer D Imman is the only Prabu Solomon regular who misses the bus. Sticking to such constants in every project is a two-way sword, they either work out big or end up being torpid rehashes. Well, the result of Sembi is a mix of both.
Kovai Sarala's Veerayi is a relentless giver who has dedicated her life to her granddaughter Sembi (a brilliant Nila), a gold-hearted 10-year-old. More or less, they carry the souls of Suruli and Mynaa, the lead characters of Prabu's breakout film Mynaa. Of course, the relationship angles are completely different here, but it is hard to not notice the similarities. However, we keep rooting for the protagonists in Sembi as their nobility never falters even in the face of crushing cruelties.
On the flip side, we begin to lose interest whenever the film takes the tone of a talk show. I understand that the director aims to present the corrupt and herd mentality of society, which projects the victims as the perpetrators. This is brought out through the conversations that happen on the bus that Veerayi boards. But it all gets a bit too redundant soon. Considering Prabu Solomon is mounting the film as an entertainer, these conversations only come as roadblocks. For instance, there is a shocking mention of a rape survivor's grave injuries and her inability to give birth. Before we can digest the heaviness of this scene, we have Thambi Ramaiah 'comically' kicking the groin of a person, pledging to ruin his fertility. Placing these two scenes in the same film, especially in quick succession, is in bad taste and it waters down the very message director professes.
Amidst this tonal confusion, the film does manage to talk about the POCSO act. Sembi might probably be the nth film to feature a rape survivor as one of its protagonists this year, but it stands out by focussing enough on the laws and the system.
Nila, who plays the titular role, delivers a stunning performance. She sells both innocence and pain brilliantly and I am sure she will be bagging tons of awards for her debut. Kovai Sarala leaves no stones unturned for her first full-fledged serious role. The sequence where she breaks down in the hospital out of helplessness reminds us of the powerhouse of a performer she is. I also liked Ashwin Kumar's portrayal of the nameless saviour, and the inherent charm he adds to the role.
Nivas Prasanna fills in the shoes of Prabu's regular composer Imman and he delivers a remarkable background score that almost compensates for the forgettable songs. Though I found certain re-recording portions to be extremely over the top and suggestive, Nivas manages to elevate the crucial emotional scenes.
A major portion of Sembi happens inside a bus named Anbu (Love) and after a particular point, the bus takes a detour and roams around directionlessly. The film, which professes love, also falls into the same trap and loses our attention. How I wish films that are filled with noble intentions had unwavering focus.

'Sembi' review: Kovai Sarala delivers career-best performance in Tamil legal-drama
Those who know Tamil cinema know that Kovai Sarala is more than a comic relief. The veteran actor was only used to crack jokes in between important scenes all these years. But we know she is more than a slapstick. Tamil movie Sembi directed by Prabhu Solomon proves the point. Released on Friday, Sarala shoulders a huge message in the movie. Here's our review.
What is 'Sembi' all about?
Sarala plays Veerathaayi, a tribal woman from Kodaikanal. She lives a happy peaceful life with her 10-year-old granddaughter Sembi (Nila). Their happy life gets disturbed when Sembi is sexually assaulted by three travelers. Veerathayi fights for justice and has a long battle ahead. Whether she wins the battle and brings criminals to justice makes up for the rest of the film.
Sarala stands out with her performance as a determined woman
For this role, Sarala has gone through a body transformation and it convinces us. One can even say that this role is her best performance by far. The one scene where she is crying in anger, which slowly fades into an expression of helplessness is one for the ages- a quick movement of her eyes emotes a million things.
Other actors' performances are significant and make a mark
Child actor Nila plays Sembi's character with an earnest performance. The sexual harassment scene and her breathtaking moments in the climax ensure that she has paved a way for herself. Other actors including Ashwin, Thambi Ramaiah, Nanjil Sampath, and others deliver convincing performances.
Lead characters are strong and grow on us easily
Director Solomon walks us through the world of Veerathaayi and Sembi who live in harmony with nature. M Jeevan's cinematography breathes life into the mountains and forests that we see on screen. The relationship depth between Veerathaayi and Sembi and how they stand up for each other makes us empathize with them. So, we understand Veerathaayi's battle and we root for her to win.
'Sembi' deserves a theatrical watch
Scenes deifying Ashwin like the stunt sequence on the bus dilute the film. The courtroom scenes are not as intense as they should've been. The lengthy preachy dialogues damage the film's organic screenplay. Body-shaming and colorist 'jokes' are unnecessarily included. In a nutshell, Sembi 's message against sexual abuse is strong but it has some adulteration. We go with 3.5/5.

Sembi is a movie that strives to give audiences all the feels. It's is a sad reality check, for what happens on-screen is what happens off as well. Prabu Solomon sir has done a good job in capturing and conveying the essence of the film to the audience. The script is the true hero of the film.
Sembi Movie Review: Prabu Solomon is one filmmaker who loves telling earthy stories that are set away from city life. He brings out various emotions through his characters — who mostly look real and intense. Sembi is no different. We can't help but travel alongside with passengers in the bus, who are shattered by the story of 10-year-old Sembi.
Veerathai (Kovai Sarala), is an old woman who lives with her granddaughter atop a hill near Kodaikanal. While Sembi is out to sell honey, she becomes a victim of gang rape. The police and the administration turn a blind eye to the incident. They try to cover the incident from snow bowling into a catastrophe.

This week will be crazy for movie buffs, with some noted films lined up for release. But, apart from these theatrical releases, OTT content is also coming your way. So, let's take a look at the entertainment quotient you can watch this weekend. THEATRES: Michael - February 3. Writer Padmabhusan - February 3. Prema Desam - February 3
Verdict: On the whole, Laatti is a mediocre cop drama with an outdated plot and screenplay. Vishal is the only saviour of this film. The rest of the characters, especially the villain gang, are unimpressive. Those who don't care about the story but love to watch a film just for some action sequences can watch the film this weekend.
Kalyanam Kamaneeyam marks the Tollywood debut of Priya Bhavani Bhaskar. She looks good in her role and gets a good scope to perform. The characters played by Kedhar Shankar and Devi Prasad are fine. The comedy scenes between Santosh Soban and his father Kedhar Shankar evoke a few laughs. Saddam is okay in his given role.
Abhinav Gomatam gained fame through the youthful entertainer Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi. There is a very famous dialogue in it which has been used as his recent film's title, which is Masthu Shades Unnai Ra. Directed by Thirupathi Rao, the movie has Vaishali Raj as the leading lady. The film made its digital debut on Prime Video.
