Poorna

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.

Poorna the movie is based on the true story of # Poorna Malavath of Pakala village from Nizamabad district of Telangana. She is the youngest mountaineer to have summited Mount Everest at 13 years and 11 months accompanied by Sandhana Palli Anand Kumar of Khammam. It is typically a story of a poor village girl, who dreams and aspires in a way normal children do but is largely burdened by her penury life circumstances. Poorna played by #Aditi Inamdar in her debut film, has portrayed the character with an air of innocence that touches your heart. The portrayal of a Herculean task that this tiny and timid girl sets for herself and accomplishes, against the innumerable odds is no mean feat! For a beginner, she has nailed it! Poorna's cousin Priya, played by #S.Mariya, who is supposed to be her friend, emotional anchor and motivator in the film, justifies the role. #Rahul Bose in his production and directional capacity coupled with his character in the movie of Dr.R S Praveen kumar who is Poorna's mentor and facilitator has done a remarkable job! Bose has succeeded in driving the audience to take cognizance of the stark realities of how the free education organizations run in the country. The movie also points to a solution to deal with this by the way of empathetic and responsible rulers taking over their betterment! Bose has handled the topic of children and their secret aspirations with intensity, proving that each child is unique in their own way. Based on their individual passion and skill, and if motivated and handled properly, these Children can be both sculptors and "Masters'' of their own destiny. The script (but for the exception of the inclusion of Telugu sentences at unexpected time and places), is also well supported by characters played by Dhritiman Chatterji, Heeba Shah and Gyanendra Tripathi. All in all, it's a simple and straightforward story which is surely worth a view for all aspirants who wish to scale & summit mountains that are tall, snow capped and almost every time in 'wuthering heights'. For the rest of us, an emotionally touching and lovely viewing experience. Image may contain: one or more people, text and nature

Saw this film today. Here's the thing about this film. I loved it. It made me laugh and cry. It was a TRUE story of absolute grit. Well edited, very beautifully carved. Each character is nicely drawn. Well cast. The story builds at a beautiful pace - neither too fast, nor too slow.

Some movies take you on a journey. This is one of those movies. Go on this journey. Its worth every second.

The cinematography is great. This is that rare film that has technical excellence and great story telling. Its a life time favorite.

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

Director Mr. Rahul Bose has done a very fine job. I also appreciate his dedication to take risk as a producer of making this positive film but commercially doubtful possible. As a director he has taken care of even tiny things of subject. Like lead girl touching the rock first time, her unique bonding with it then her fear overpowers like any other common girl. While the lead girl was ill in the tent in final climbing flashcut of her being pushed inside water by elder cousin Priya, who is pushing her with unawareness it symbolically makes her strong and capable of bearing pain which are going to change Poorna life in future. Both cousin sister bonding is so well established that I wished that I just want to witness both's chemistry rather than watching the film. Priya mysterious smile in her last shot gives goose bump. Shot of bird flying off the tree in dawn while kids want to escape was cute and well placed. Writers Prashant Pandey and Shreya Dev Verma work is very good too. So many social issues are pointed out in subtle way without being lured into melo drama. Scene where kids play poor game while they were supposed to play power game in hostel, hits the issue in very balanced way. Most of the scenes are very realistic rather than conceiving some routine high dramatic treatment. IPS approach's towards bad food issue, teachers threat to strike or complain to chief minister is well handled. Starting half an hour film is very good but then is becomes slow. Emotions are well established but when it comes to rock climbing or mountaineering film fails to involve intensively. Yes must be budget constraints but this was film's premise. Due to this climax does not give that much needed euphoric feelings. Cinematography is also not up to the mark. But it is sure that film motivates and pushes undoubtedly to explore your hidden strength. Performance wise Aditi Inamdar as Poorna is first rate. You can't believe that she is not real Poorna but acting. As her elder sister Priya, actress S. Maria is just awesome. Rahul Bose as IPS Praveen Kumar is impressive. Heeba Shah as female government unsupportive officer is very good. Dr. Rayala Harishchandra as Priya's father is apt. Credit goes to casting director Mayank Dixit for selecting most of the good actors.
