      Perception drives reality

      'Sometimes' succeeds in setting the mode, tone and character nuances for the idea that was intended to be conveyed. Right from scene 1, you find yourself amongst the anxious people who put their fate to 'test' at a clinic while waiting what it feels like forever, to be reported on their HIV contraction. The entire movie is a situation that most of us would witness in our daily lives at a hospital/blood test center. The emotions of each character inject themselves into your mind slow and strong that although you may constantly try to judge why they behave the way they do, you however are constantly in understanding the root cause of said actions. Everyone has their own reasons, justifiably simple and realistic. Toward the end, you are left with a minute discomfort, which makes you think about it all over again. This movie does strike the right cord. Every actor played their part with subtlety and within bounds. A valuable lesson on how to make a movie. It screams directorial excellence to me.

      Informative, nail-biting, emotional, an ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE!!

      Priyadarshan delivers yet again! This time in the most mind-blowing way one can expect! I humbly request everyone who reads my review to promote this movie to every Indian. This is not just a movie, but a real life answer to many who don't know enough about AIDS. It's so informative to the extent that being 35 years old, there were many things about AIDS that I didn't even know, which I learnt from this movie.

      Everyone in the movie totally delivered above and beyond their ability, and it goes without saying that Prakash Raj conquers his role like every other movie. There's no movie made in India such as this. The intention is not to bag awards (however, I'm sure this will be rated the best movie shortly and I will stand by it any given day), instead, it is to spread awareness to those who know little about AIDS and how they should handle their crisis. The story revolves around 7 people who come to a diagnostic centre to test if they are infected. The movie then goes on to even show the corruption in these diagnostic centre's and the sheer greed and ignorance of some people who work there, that can take away the life of the innocent.

      I'm not going to write anymore as I want everyone to watch this movie and share it with all. As for Priyadarshan, I still stand by my word over years of watching his movies that I will stop watching Indian cinema the day he retires. He was, is and will remain the best Indian Director! Thank you so much for yet another brilliant life lesson, every minute of it was well spent and taken away to spread awareness to all who I know.

      If this production doesn't get an award in every box office, THEN NONE SHOULD! This should be rated the best movie ever made in decades!!!

      Sometimes..

      The movie is all about AIDS awareness. Credits to writing department. Each member has his story which r different. Priyadarshan is absolute genius. Direction is good. Screenplay is Lag in first hour but Can make it exception. The total movie is shown in a lab. Hardly shown outside in first few minutes to build up story. Prakash raj is too good. Ashok is perfect. Rest all the characters did well. Locations and cinematography can be made exception. Climax is a wow factor ! Watch itv

      Sila samayangalil

      Brilliant, hearttouching, socially committed, relevent movie. Classic from priyadarshan. Prakashraj has stolen the show. The little lag given to the movie makes the audience realize the weirdness of the wait done by the characters... Classic movie❤
