After Vijay with Varasudu, Dhanush teamed up with Telugu director Venky Atluri for the SIR movie. Dhanush who has a decent following in Telugu promoted his movie extensively in Telugu, unlike Vijay and Ajith who never promoted their movies in Telugu.
The first look, teaser, and trailer generated decent buzz on the movie and it has finally hit the theatres. Let’s see what’s the movie is all about.
Story:
The movie’s story is all about a young lecturer and his struggles to face to the powerful private college’s president and emerges successful. The core story deals with the lecturer taking on the entire educational system.
With both teachers and parents pressurizing the students to score top ranks, some students are unable to cope with the pressures of the intense coaching classes. When the father of a student decides to sell off their video shop, they come across a video, in which they come across a person teaching mathematics in the simplest way. Their curiosity increases to find the person and in the process, they meet the collector of Kadapa.
Through the district collector, they come to know about a junior lecturer Bala Gangadhar Tilak (Dhanush). How are Bala Gangadhar Tilak and the Tripathi Private college owner Tripathi (Samuthirakhani) related and how he is related to biology lecturer Meenakshi (Samyuktha Menon), Siripuram Sarpanch (Sai Kumar) from the rest of the story.
Plus Points:
Dhanush
Emotional Scenes
Good Dialogues
BGM
Cinematography
Minus Points:
No Commercial Elements
Predictable Narration
Routine Story
Lack of powerful conflict
Verdict:
On the whole, SIR is a routine, tried and tested concept movie. Venky Atluri takes us down memory lane of the 1990s when private colleges were on the rise and several coaching centers to cash the craze of Engineering and Medicine. The movie is a decent watch. Netflix has bagged the digital rights and the movie will be streamed after it ends its theatrical run.
