35-Chinna Katha Kaadu

When was the last time you saw a film that truly deserved a 5 star rating? Honestly, I can't recall one. "35" is a movie that deserves a special place in cinema history for generations to enjoy.

Overall, "35" feels like a film that embodies the warmth, love, and determination of a mother. It's great to see meaningful films like this making their way into our lives. In a world where many movies are just noise and lack depth, "35" feels like a breath of fresh air. It offers a healing experience that reminds us of the importance of family and love. In a neighborhood filled with distractions, this film is like a blissful sanctuary..

A heartfelt salute to the '35' team for reminding us that motherhood is more than just giving life, it's about sharing love, strength, and the courage to face the world.

35 Chinna Katha Kaadu (Not a small story) is a story of grit, love, belief and above all trusting ones ability.

Saraswati, played brilliantly by Nivetha Thomas, is a home maker who fails high school and is happily married with 2 kids Arun and Varun to Prasad, who works as a bus conductor in the temple town on Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh. Arun always ends up getting zero marks in maths and gets bullied by his teachers and classmates. But it is Saraswati's trust in him that helps him overcome this obstacle and obtain 35 marks to get a pass in exams.

Nivetha Thomas brilliantly plays Saraswati alias Chinnu who is fighting her own demons as she failed high school. She is the ultimate motherly figure who works with the kid to teach him maths. As they say, mother is anyone's first teacher and Nivetha proved she can be.

Vishwadev as a father who cares about his family and is pragmatic brilliantly played the role of Prasad when his situations question his pragmatism.

The kids are convincing with their innocence.

While the movie had technical issues with the choice of sync sound and not so crisp editing, it never fails to draw us in thanks to the brilliantly written drama and characters that resonate with us from the get go.

This movie is award worthy. Don't miss.

This movie's got some serious vibes! The concept? Straight-up beautiful. Characters and plot? Built like a pro. The screenplay's got that slow-burn pace that totally fits the flick. Dialogues are on point, though a few scenes feel like they're draggin' a bit. A few scenes you might see coming, but overall, it's mad well-written and directed.

Nivetha Thomas? She's slayin' in her role, giving a killer performance. The kid actors? They brought their A-game. Vishwadev, Priyadarshi, and the rest of the cast? They did their thing just fine. Cinematography is pure fire-those shots are chef's kiss. Sets, costumes, makeup? All looking legit.

Bottom line? You gotta check this out-hit up the theaters or atleast catch it on OTT when they release it, but don't sleep on this one, especially if you're rolling with kids or parents!

Just wanted to go to movie and decided randomly to go to this one.

Wasn't expecting any thing out of this movie and to my surprise, such an amazing movie, superb direction with a good story line and very good acting, special acknowledgement to the hero of the movie "Nivetha Thomas" yes she is the main protagonist of the movie.

The story line and the direction is so realistic, you will be amazed.

We even didn't want the interval break, wanted the movie to contiune.

What surprised me even more is, not many audience was there in the hall, which promoted me to write this review, do.

Arun bring back memories of the kid from Tare Zameen Par.

Watch it, Thanks Rana for getting this movie to us.

This one is heartwarming. In the junk that TFI usually puts out, this is taaza fresh.

Nivedita Thomas has that aura. From the very first frame till the end she pull you in like a familiar face, a character that is radiant and spectacularly brought to life on screen. She's mom, the teacher and everything that this movie needed, showing us the simple life of a family from tirupati. Vishwadev's performance as a father was equally well done and shan't be spoken less of. The chemistry between these two characters on screen was just adorable.

The love and warmth that each character brought to life is lifelike. No character gets left behind. Everyone has a story and they all deal with something - something you hardly see in a telugu film.

Arundev has a bright future, his Charm and ability to perform in front of the camera came quite naturally to this champ.

Absolutely loved this movie. I didn't want these characters' story to end.

Thanks to the entire team that brought this movie to life.

9/10.
