Poorna

I had very low expectation from the movie as I had not heard great things about this movie in media, and now I am writing this after the first few scenes of the music. Very few directors know the art of blending music , cinematography and story together as I see in this film. After finishing all the movies of Sergio Leone and Satyajit Ray, I was ad that I will never be seeing such movies again. I see a hope now after this movie. I am not talking about the story plot which everyone can see is good , but more about the art. To Rahul Bose - You have a great team , Its a long and painful journey for you ahead, you will get awfully lonely if you continue to make such films in Bollywood. But I would suggest you to stick to your guns, and we will see another Sholay , or Apu Trilogy or Dollar trilogy coming from you.

Dinesh Prakash has already given an accurate review of the movie and shared excellent points.

My first interaction with the movie was it's trailer of course and by knowing that a poor tribal girl reached such feet and from a place around a 100kms from where I live, excited me to watch the movie. Also the trailer was good. Then, I saw Rahul's interview on Jaby Koay's Channel. It was then, I came to know about Rahul and his inspiration behind the movie, his passion and his philosophies about work and life. He seems to be a genuine, humane, concerned and passionate man to me. I have become his fan immediately and added all his movies to my IMDb watch list.

And about the film, it was good for two reasons: because the story is great and inspirational, the story telling is simple and genuine. Possibly due to it's low budget, there were not much intensive action shots of the mountaineering. But, the movie is nevertheless, complete without all that. And I think, the action shots might only extend the run time by another 15-20 minute and then the real emotion may get diluted in the audience.

Coming to technical aspects from an audience point of view:

Music: Very subtle and good

Cinematography: Every scene is exactly like what it's in the real world. Generally, the places we see outside in the real world, when seen in movies, we find some change in it and are not really convincing. But in this movie, I don't know why, each scene is exactly the way it appears in the real world.

Screenplay: No experiments done. Basic and decent story telling.

Overall, I think the film might not be so great speaking artistically or technically. But, it has got an accurate depiction of the real world and that's very interesting and convincing to an audience like me.

I wish Rahul Bose to keep making such good films. And Poorna and Anand Kumar to keep going and to have bright future.

This movie is truly inspiring and the one that should be shown in the schools to motivate the young minds of India. I frail girl from a non descriptive village of India becomes the youngest girl in the world to scale the Mount Everest. "Sometime you make choices and sometime choices make you". This movie is all about grit, determination and hard work. Show it to your children for sure.

Narrates real experiences of a poor girl. The girl is rising from struggles in her life. The direction work of Rahul Bose is appreciative also acted very well. Film portraits racism against girls. Film also says about child marriage and consequences. Friendship, family, and public responsibilities all are highlighted in the movie very well.

Poorna, the movie well scripted and depicted on to the screen. Thanks to Rahul Bose for presenting this film to us. But first you need to know, who is Poorna Malavath? On May 25 2014 she became the youngest girl to summit the Mount Everest at the age of 13 years.

The story tells us about the life of a tribal girl, who wants to study but situations doesn't allows her to do so. Film's tag line "ladkiyan kuch be kar sakti hai" says it all. Music, direction, editing is at perfection level. Goosebumps guaranteed. Official runtime of the movie is 105minutes. Precisely portrayed everything on to the screen which keeps the audience engaged. But one thing is that, audiences are not appreciating this film by watching it on theatre. Star cast are not that famous as of any other Biopics. Audience judge the movie on the type of star cast. The debutant girls played extremely well especially Aditi Inamdar (Poorna Malavath).

Two movies Naam Shabana & Poorna released on the same day 31st March 2017, but somehow I chose Poorna from the both. There are few dialogues in Telugu too, but that won't be a problem. This is the best movie of the year after "The Ghazi attack". Do watch it.

Bold, Fantastic, Fascinating, Motivating, Inspiring. Rating: 4/5
