Siya

This is Oscar, Bafta, Cannes material. It takes a capable captain to steer the actors, the cinematographers and everyone involved to create this masterpiece. We cried, we huffed and puffed during the entire film. A movie that gets you talking in between is exactly my kind of movie. I tried finding flaws in the direction but couldn't. Throughout the film, it shows the downtrodden people of rural India being defeated and losing an inevitable battle to the system and the evil people in power. But in the last second it shows the survival of the human spirit. Incredible experience. Hope to see stuff more from Manish Mundra.

Siya is a drama film directed by manish mundra.

Pooja pandey and vineet kumar singh have acted with great application. Vineet is anyway a wonderful actor, but pooja in a difficult role did her part nicely. Other actors were good. They did not have much material to act.

The first shot of the film is a metaphorical one. A long sequence at night, where a sister is narrating a story to his little brother about courage and wits, is a foreshadow of the things about to happen. The first half's writing too is very good. Its engaging and takes one step at a time, making a commentary on caste, police negligence. From the second half, the film starts to deviate. It looked as if the film was in a dilemma whether to show the futility of justice or the procedural to the way of justice. As a result, neither of the things hit us anywhere. Things happen without any closing scene, too many loose ends.

The music is decent. The two songs in the second half are lyrically very touching. One of them is a doha. The background score has been used minimal, mainly the drama of the scene is kept at the forefront. The dialogues are good. At one point, siya herself states "aisi nyay ka kya fayda jise dekhne koi zinda hi na ho." That was a major twist in the film. The film took the route of an open end, which i don't complain about. But the loose ends could have been dealt better.

The sequences of siya's misery is horrific to watch, and its tough to sit through. The film is very raw and gritty for anyone. That's where its negatives feel lighter to its positives. I rate it 8.5 out of 10.

Hatts off to the director. A phenomenal Movie executed wonderfully. It really leaves you wondering is there any hope in today's world. It shows dark reality of how politicians or any powerful person can get any with anything. It shows the will power of a rape victim against all odds. A must must watch movie. Brought tears into my eyes. This movie should be applauded and appreciated. Its real art. Actors also did such a good job at portraying the strong character. I didn't expect much from this movie but It left me completely speechless. Just wow. It has potential to win many many awards even in international platform.

The content is very painful to see and accept things like this has happened...

The movie is based on a very hard and strong content before also we had seen many movies like this..the movie lacks strong presentation of fight back from victim..the open end was illogical perhaps there should be strong ending to justify the content...strong character were needed to play as CBI chief..the movie emphasised more on the depress content..it fails to give a strong message rather it shows the evil is winning.

It could had been the strongest movie if they could had portrait in a better way

I hope they come back with a another part where the victim fights back strongly.

I'm a simple guy - when Vineet appears, I head to the cinema. However, in this instance, Pooja Pandey truly stole the spotlight. Her portrayal of the character is outstanding, whether it's the eerie shots, the vacant expressions, or the unwavering determination of a girl who's lost but not defeated.

The movie gains momentum in its latter half as the carefree journey transforms into a tale of trauma. The only drawback lies in some extended scenes without dialogue that could've been trimmed.

My heart goes out to determined directors, casts, and crews who, despite knowing their film might not receive the recognition it deserves, remain passionate and dedicated to creating such films for a greater cause.
