Sesham Mikeil Fathima

Confession time: We're not big Kalyani Priyardarshan fans, buuuut she rocked this film😃

-The movie's synopsis was already interesting 'cos it made you wanna find out who was this daring girl wanting to become a commentator. It was an original plot

The story started smoothly by inviting us into her world right from a young age. We got to understand when her nonstop chatter started and got to experience the kind atmosphere in her family and neighborhood.

You could tell that Manu C Kumar was intentional about every scene as he wanted us to love and sympathize with Fathima, and we did!

-Loved the colorful images and close-up shots that added more flavor to the storytelling. The moment when Fathima did her first football commentary was phenomenal😍 Kudos to the sound engineers!

-Apart from the themes of perseverance and courage, it was special that Fathima insisted on fighting for her dream in a passive way. She was never disrespectful and never encouraged being aggressive contrary to her friend Solomon

Additionally, she mastered her passion. She went the extra mile by studying the science of sports, and that was very encouraging to see.

Thank you to the cast and crew for such a wonderful experience.

Torturous ! That is what this movie is ! This could be used as the ultimate weapon by FBI or CIA or our own NSI - if you played this and forced any hardened terrorist to watch this, they will say anything and everything within 45 mins !

Leave aside the stupidly thin script and cringe sequences and acting - the BGM, sound design, casting ( most of the leads could get the accent correct, play the nuances right or be believable - let alone be convincing ! )

I have to be honest - I stopped watching half way and read the story in forums - I am glad I did - the second half is worser than the first ( and First was so horrible I stopped watching )

I saw this movie on Netflix today after seeing many positive reviews. A well-made movie. Movies like this deserve a good turnout in theaters, but sadly, that's not happening these days.

Kalyani Priyadarshan has come a long way and in this movie we saw a Kalyani smashing the matured role she had. I liked the way she managed the nuances of the character which she played in the movie. Supporting actors were also fine throughout.

As mentioned above, movies like this should attract an audience, but I guess due to less promotion, people are not hearing enough about movies like this. Good promotions should be done to promote movies like this.

Except Kalyani Priyadarshini nothing elsee is good to talk about this movie. Storyline is good but the taking and screenplay is very very bad. No interesting scenes or dialogues at all. First 30 minutes of movie is bearable trying to build the story and after thatovie has lost momentum. The inspirational dialogues didn't work out at all. Villains are weak and has no impact at all. Climax processings are not good at all. For such a good story line island idea there should be some interesting scenes and plot ideas that would have made movie a great success. Very boring movie overall, worth watching only for Kayani.

I always been loving Kalyani. She is so cute . Since, Hello movie i'm big fan of her. Sesham Mikeil Fathima, directed by Manu C Kumar, is a chirpy, loud movie but a half-hearted attempt at exploring the aspects of a girl from a conservative background achieving her dreams. It failed to explore real conflicts in depth and took the easy way out with a family that is flexible to an extent which is often not the reality. And that makes it a regular formulaic movie and nothing out of the ordinary.

The story revolves around Fathima (Kalyani Priyadarshan), a wide-eyed, bubbly aspiring football commentator whose biggest supporter, initially, is her brother, played by Aneesh. Her father (played by Sudeesh) is a former footballer. She grew up watching and understanding football and has a habit of chattering wherever she is. Later, she decides to pursue a career as a football commentator and arrives in Kochi from Malappuram. What follows forms the crux of the film. The script falters after a point and her journey is something that has been seen in similar films before. There is nothing very relatable about her 'struggle'. In fact, at one point the character is written in such a way that she gets annoying. The journey seems very superficial and uses many elements that have been seen in poorly done sports movies featuring women characters before. Femina George's character as the 'friend' or more like a sidekick, was fine. Shaheen Siddique's role was that of a grumpy depressed football player facing a ban. He again, didn't have much to do.

Hesham Abdul Wahab's music adds to the jovial atmosphere Fathima sets whenever she appears on screen but even the most joyful appearance can't uplift a film without a strong script.

Verdict: Hit.
